I love that some of these idiots used their work email addresses. I wonder if Full Care landscaping out of Louisville, Kentucky cares that their VP of Operations is a neo-nazi?
Lemmy does not provide it via the UI. But it does provide the info via federation. If you set up your own instance, other instances will happily share this info with you. The information is inconvenient to access, but not hidden or private.
Hey fascist lurkers: fuck everything about your fascist ideology. Stop being slaves to your overlords and fucking learn a thing.
You can think for yourselves, I promise. It may be hard and uncomfortable at first, but you’ll like yourself a lot more if you just put in a small bit of effort. You’re better than this.
There's actually a simple explanation for that. Much like the "conservative/christian entertainment" industry the alt-tech movement is primarily composed of failures and hacks who couldn't cut it in the mainstream field.
A smart racist would have to be stupid in such a specific kind of way that it would be like a zyzygy of all the stars in the sky aligning at the same time.
I've blocked all the nazis trying to engage with me saying nazis aren't bad so I'll just say this in a TLC and block more nazis when they reply -
It's funny that all the people calling ME evil for not considering the nuances of various people's nazi ideology..... Are the same people who think women should die for wearing jeans, and that people should die for having a different religion, or die for not sharing a skin tone...
Nazis are nazis are nazis. If your world view was so different, spoilers, you wouldn't identify with nazis. 🤷
Also, just to see if they have even the tiniest bit of plausible deniability, I checked out Midgard's shop. There's overtly white supremacist shit ALL OVER the place.
It's not like these people accidentally supported a band with reprehensible beliefs behind the scenes. It's not like a totally normal music shop turned out to be a front for white supremacists. There's note even any serious argument about "separating art from the artist." The leak includes what people bought, and you can tell when someone bought overtly white supremacist music. And even if they didn't, and the band or album name doesn't give anything away, what's it doing at the Nazi store? Why isn't it streaming, or on Bandcamp, or self-distributed? These customers still had to know there's an obscure Nazis music store, what it's called and where to find it, confirm that it's a Nazi store the moment they went there, and still give them money and their address to place a mail order. Oh, some of them aren't native English speakers? Then that just makes it even more damning that they did all this with a language barrier in place!
Plus, just look at the apologists in this thread. They're fucking cowards. They can't just come out with their beliefs, so they're just asking questions, deflecting from the topic. One is concern trolling for the fundamental humanity of literal Nazis, despite the fact that the main fucking problem with Nazis is that they considered marginalized groups subhuman. Where's the concern there? Why the focus on the people who oppose Nazis rather than the Nazis themselves? Another one could barely resist giving the game away by saying they've been called a Nazi before because of their anti-immigrant positions.
The people defending this shop and its customers aren't serious people. They're dishonest, cowardly, and stupid.
Check Talia Levin's book, Culture Warlords. She spent a year undercover online as a far-right personality and wrote about the encounters she experienced. It was a rough time, clearly. She's in the punch-a-nazi camp and reading her book landed me there at the end.
I would advise to call them Neo-Nazis instead of Nazis. Most Nazis are dead and Neo-Nazis are given too much distraction by giving them this easy excuse.
I think people who defend nazis, their right to believe in nazi ideology, and argue that nazis are overall fine people are nazis or nazi apologists which are equally unwelcome in my circles and consciousness. Sorry, I'm not going to feel bad for hurting nazi feelings.
You can reply to this and "um actually" all you want about nazis, but if you're pro-nazi, I'm gonna block you. Easy peasy.
You remind me of apologists who argue somebody can't be a nazi even though they spout the ideology and use the language, because they aren't on record saying "I heart Hitler" three times in a mirror.
There are legitimately people here arguing that just because you don't understand the language, you probably aren't a fascist for liking clearly fascist music that you have to work hard to find, especially if you don't natively speak the language.
I was listening to a podcast that suggested the main reason the Nazis wanted to kill Jews is because they felt that the rise of Christianity, originating among the Jews, was what weakened the Roman Empire and caused it to crumble.
For their own empire, modeled along Roman lines, they didn't want the same thing to happen.
This was sort of my reaction after seeing this again while looking for something new on Lemmy:
Just because you listen to rap about drugs and murder doesn't mean you actually do drugs and murder. Nor does it necessarily mean the artist does, it could be their persona.
But I also know nothing of the band or their music, so idk whether anyone that listened to them would automatically be a hardcore Neo-Nazi or just an eccentric metalhead. Just like I don't know rap, so I myself can't pass judgement and it just feels weird to see others do so, I guess I can assume they are more informed than myself.
What are the legal implications of doxxing a person here? I can think of a few people I'd like to slap on that list, but it doesn't seem risk free for me.
I don't know shit about this band/this type of music... is it actually the kind of music that only Nazis would listen to?
Like, if someone leaked a Pantera fan list, I guess I wouldn't be on the wagon to ruin all their lives, even though Pantera is pretty well known for racism, shouting White Power and Nazi sautes n shit.
Such a fucking shame learning about great music being made by terrible folks. Sooooo many rockers with controversy, be it racism, underage groupie fucking, or otherwise.
Thankfully there's no shortage of really talented people making awesome music these days. May need to dig around a bit, but my Spotify is an absolute labyrinth of more tunes than I can possibly get through. I've had to make annual playlists for every sub genre I'm into just to attempt to keep my archive manageable.
Yep. Lot of bands you'd like to support, to buy their music, later find out they are damn bigots, nazis, whatever asswipes you can find.
Especially in the metal scene. Makes me sad
Edit: seriously tho. I never wanted to believe the band members were racist or anything. The song Rise was always my go to to show people how inclusive they wanted to be. "Taught when we're young to hate one another, it's time to have a new reign of power. Make pride universal so no one gives in, turn out backs on those who oppose"
I always thought that song especially was saying "we must not hate one another. We must all be proud of who we are and turn our backs on those who continue to hate." I may need to do some deeper thinking about it all. I have not listened to them in many years. Dimebag dying legit hurt.
Phil Anselmo did a nazi salute. This made me sad. But the band didn't market themselves as nazis or write songs that praised nazism or overt racism. I wouldn't mind if someone knew that I own all their albums (except the one where they were apparently a hair band; I never saw that in stores when I was buying CDs). They didn't make nazi music, so I can defend it.
I won't send money their way because of the nazi salute. That I can also defend.
Oh yeah, I'm not trying to blame a fan base over the actions of a group/artist. I also don't know what type of music the original post is about. Maybe they do make music thats like "we are Nazis and so are you if you sre listening" and then I'd probably be understanding of consequences of being fans.
But that Nazi salute is definitely not the only documented racism by Pantera members, and I'm sure you know that.
I mean, lots of fascists seem to like RATM because they never thought about the lyrics. I don't know if that phenomenon goes both ways, but I'd imagine there's probably at least one Neo-Nazi song out there with a slappin bass line. It probably mostly sounds like bad metal or generic 90s grunge if I had to guess, though.
I live in the larger city right next to the town/urban area where the Midgård company is located. I had only vaguely heard about them before and didn't know where they operated from. I found a disturbing amount of people living very close to me (geographically) that are in the register. I'll be sure to spread this and hope to get them to be known nazis by most people around here. Absolute filth... I haven't been able to go through the whole list yet, but I both really hope and really hope not to find someone I know on it. It would be nice to blow up the life of someone like this, but at the same time, it would suck to find out that it's someone you know.
I'm very left leaning, and so are most people in my life, and in this country, my city and especially my part of the city in general, but it's of course impossible to really know stuff like this about everyone you come in contact with.
Going to follow this closely and really wish to see some nazi fucks get found out by others around them and have consequences rain down on their pathetic lives.
In many ways yes. Japan has its own brand of racial superiority which is why I just found it a bit weird they're going for nazi shit. It could also just be that they heard and liked a song, but I kinda doubt that this is the case.
Japan is conservative in the sense that anyone that isn't Japanese can go get fucked. How many Japanese neo-nazis are also multilingual to understand the lyrics? This seems less like nazis in Japan and just people who found music they didn't hate.
I understand that Japan's youth displays a lot of Hitler and Nazi stuff. Not that they're Nazis or haters, they just think it's funny or something? Kinda like clueless American kids sporting Che Guevera shirts and posters?
Not really, it's also seen as a weird thing done by loners to them. One of the most famous animes in recent times, Overlord, features a WW2-based german character with manerisms and speech reminiscent of a SS officer. Every time they're on screen, the main character nearly dies of embarassment.
Reminder, Lemmy Kilmister collected nazi memorabilia. It might not be as deep as you think. Half the time metal with neo nazi themes just sounds like a bunch of dinosaures yelling.
There's a difference between Motorhead, the Sex Pistols, and someone like Slayer who all used Nazi imagery to provoke in a problematic way and bands that claim to be part of the National Socialist Black Metal scene. I mean... I can't understand the lyrics on an Absurd record without the lyric sheet, but the giant blank sun in their artwork is a dead giveaway
See Unicorn Riot's torrent of internal data stolen from Patriot Front, fascists in the US. Hey, I'm sharing that download on a perpetual basis. I have a gig link uploading, so grab that fucking data.
Most likely its a payment plan for purchases. Klarna is a company where you can delay payment and such. They are a third party connection, so I believe a webshop will not know that is input on Klarnas end. But who knows how Midtgård does in their checkout process...
This whole thing is disgusting. Nazis suck. So do people calling for violence or removal of rights from literally any human. Buncha Nazis in here, just against a kind of person it's ok to be horrible to.
This is actually a philosophical problem. I think it's the parable of pacifism, if I remember right? Basically, the advocacy for total pacifism and acceptance of all groups doesn't work if one group is specifically advocating for the death of the others because then there's a net loss.
It's called the "Paradox of Tolerance" if we are tolerant of all including the intolerant than intolerance will eventually win out and eliminate tolerance, therefore society should not tolerate the intolerant.
It's the paradox of tolerance and it's bullshit. Daryl Davis has converted more KKK members talking to them than anyone has with a fist.
Edit to add: killing Nazis doesn't defeat fascism. You can kill people with weapons, but words are the armaments of ideas. You want to kill an idea, it's through words.
