Thousands of purveyors of neo-Nazi tunes just had their day ruined by a crew of enterprising Scandinavian anti-fascists.

I like folk music and industrial music. The overlap of the two seems to also have a disproportionate overlap of … what’s the best way to put it?… fascist-adjacent music. Imagery, themes, etc.

Am I a fascist? No.

Are the artists fascist? I don’t know, ~~Boyd Rice~~ Douglas P/Death In June sure has had some controversies about him, but he’s not been banned from streaming services. But In some ways I don’t care, I don’t have the time to unpick every lyric, image and interview from the artists I listen to, to make a decision on their political views. I just like the music. Open a public playlist and listen.

None of the music I listen to appears to be sold on Midgard. But does that mean they’re not fascist?

You don't need to be a fascist to make excuses for fascists, but it's bizarre that you read my comment about all the apologists the decided "he just hasn't heard my brilliant apologise yet".

You can drop the "it could happen to you" act because it almost certainly won't. For this site and those albums, "I just didn't have time to unpick what the lyric 'until every kike is dead' meant" isn't even a remotely plausible excuse.

Stop defending them.
