is there anyone who's "fascinated" by nazi and right wing iconography that doesn't ultimately turn out to be suspect?

Feel like this quick list has been given an historical free pass:

The Rolling Stones
David Bowie
Iggy
Bryan Ferry
Lemmy
Joy Division
Siouxsie & The Banshees
Malcolm McLaren
Sex Pistols

lol! different guy, but lol.

southwestern desert state libertarian

as numerous as the creosote

ha i was wondering if yr southwestern desert state libertarian Genocide Organ fan was the same one I knew, but ... well, at least they could become friends.

is the 16 Horsepower/Wovenhand guy problematic or just weird? i can't tell...he's verged into neofolk-ish territory

remember roger adultery? that guy was kind of responsible for putting me off this whole musical universe. thanks roger adultery! i'm much happier nodding along to larry heard

He's on NPR now lol

woah

he does own a swastika flag fwiw

there's plenty of ILX threads/posts that make it pretty clear he is a wannabe edgelord of the worst stripe

was gonna say it's always struck me as curious that I've never heard it suggested he might have bad politics (or any, really) outside of this website where he managed to be banned at least once for terrible and inarguably racist posts

nah james isnt racist. He did like to troll ilx though.

doesn't that make him an "edgelord" who uses racism as a toy?
idk, imo racism isn't a tool you use to irritate people unless you are in some way racist

nah james isnt racist. He did like to troll ilx though.

he isn't racist he just liked to post racist stuff on a message board as a grown man in his late 20s

while I'm also not hugely interested in hashing out the difference between 'says racist things' and 'is actually racist' in this instance I went with the former

Would be surprised and devastated if this was true about DEE. He's very Old Testament in his religious beliefs, and has been drawing links with Native American spirituality, but apart from that I dunno.

cool...his dark folk thing could just attract that element...
