There are dozens(maybe, I don’t keep a list) of alt-right bands and musicians they could choose from. Do you think their feelings are hurt whenever they’re not picked? Oh right, nazis have no feelings. Fuck them.
I think the real goal here is to get artists to either support the glorious leader Trump or oppose him. Which is disturbing.
I agree, this was defiantly a calculated move to stir shit. If they wanted to have a legit event, they’d be making arrangements to have the band on site for a show.
Imagine if someone picked Joy Division.
If the neo-nazis knew anything about Depeche, they would know how much they are hated by them.
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along
So awfullyThose lyrics - among many others - are aimed directly at the sort of intolerant scumbags that always seem to be festering in the right wing toilet of society, just as relevant today as it was in 1984 when the Some Great Reward album was released.
To begin with, they would need to know the concept of consent to worry about being hated by them.
But they are neo nazis, they are hated by everyone already so how could they tell
At this point I think the Right does this simply to get more publicity.
Pick an artist you know will call you out, and then use their music. When the band says they aren’t Right Wing it’s just more coverage. Even better, people will associate the movement with the music either way.
No publicity is bad publicity.
But it’s exhausting.
Fuck those crap sites conveying it as news too.
Alot of that shit is just bait to get free advertising, to eventually sell you some shit
That looked like a nasty elbow for a nasty guy.
The true People’s elbow
My only complaint is that it took 3 weeks
They were probably busy doing Depeche Mode things and didn’t hear about it right away 🤷
Doing Depeche Mode things like Enjoying the Silence?
True, we too rarely get missives from the office of Depeche Mode.
Yeah we Just Can’t Get Enough
Oh, quit it with your Blasphemous Rumours
Just hope they never let you down again.
Sadly, this happened with Pink Floyd and the Hammerskins, who were inspired by the neo-nazi sequence of The Wall
Meaning I don’t get to make references to Run Like Hell or Follow the Worms when someone gets carried away puttin’ on the Reich. Nope they appropriated that culture.
Dude. Just because they try doesn’t mean we have to let them.
Roger Waters is one of the world’s foremost anti-fascist pro-BDS artists and that sequence in The Wall was NOT intended as complimentary 🤦
So you’re saying I should resume using the original material to mock fascists, neo-nazis and, well, the transnational white power movement that has control of the federal government of the United States
…Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall…In the right contexts, sure. Just because it’s not UNIVERSALLY useful now doesn’t mean that it’s become useless forever.
