Shout them down in every space, make them embarrased to think the stupid shit they think.
If we don’t embarrass and correct them now we will have to kill them later when they come for our friends and families.
I guess we can let them keep Tesla…
Yeah don’t let them have the swastika either.
Wait… I’m hearing it’s too late for that. Damn.
Will forever hate them for trying to take Pepe the Frog.
I’m just relieved they didn’t succeed for long
feels bad man
They can have a video game, but only this one puts down a copy of Superman 64
This is why gatekeeping is actually important. But you’ve got to be sure you’re keeping out the people who want to change the group, rather than people who want to join it.
norse mythology: the bisexual dude who has a meathead son and an adopted genderfluid kid. doesn’t go anywhere without his horse-grandson. knows everything will go wrong when they get a dog.
Plus they associate war with masculinity and magic with femininity, and their main guy is the god of both. Women fought and men learned magic. Clearly gender was a pretty flexibly concept. (Not to even mention that we found what appears to be trans masc viking burials.)
I didn’t know that about the trans-masc viking burials! I had been wondering which ancient cultures had explicit evidence of trans guys.
What buried site was that?
Birka grave Bj 581
For a second I feared Lemmy didn’t have the “Save comment” function yet.
I’ve read all the comments here and I’ve concluded that we don’t really have an effective way for dealing with this problem, although we all recognise the problem.
I will forever curse Milo Snuffaluffagus or whatever his name was for Gamergate.
Especially since incompetent Games Jouranlism is and has been a problem for a long time, and now nothing will be done about it because any attempt to reform or shake up the industry is poisoned by the spectre of that bigoted sham.
Would you find comfort, or discomfort if i told you I’ve been a “gamer” since 1984, and I’m still not fully clear in wtf gamergate was?
I’m aware it involved journalists and devs. The adhd kinda prevented anything beyond that.
They already killed hip-hop.
Could you elaborate on this? I mean there’s Kanye obviously, but “killing hip hop” is a strong statement considering he fell off years ago.
The culture of “real” hip-hop is basically crime culture, within that crime culture the same methods of of fascist control are used. Like the way rappers attack one another and try to control people. Gangs intertwined with the culture. Gangs are fascist, they are Nazis, they abuse people for their own personal gains. Rappers are often a voice for that sort of shitty behavior.
Just listen to any “gangster rap” they are all authoritarians raping other people’s lives.
Fuck that shit. Listen to Danny, Tech, RTJ. Fucking MF DOOM and Ace Rock if you want to go back. Hip hop is punk as fuck and anti fascist.
Gangsta rap culture has its roots in generational poverty and the Reagan-inflicted crack epidemic.
“Very generalized” uhh, can you give some examples? Like, maybe if you squint at the 90’s West Coast/East Coast rivalry, but not really?
There’s a conspiracy theory going around that the music industry execs colluded to heavily promote gangsta rap over social-conscious rap during the 90’s, so that young black people would turn to a life of crime and fill up prisons, as they had recently invested in the nascent private prison industry.
The only “proofs” are anonymous testimonies by self-described industry insiders, but the fact that rap wasn’t always about gangsta culture is real.
Honestly I fully believe it, especially since black people who get into music are pushed towards Rap and Hip Hop by their labels being told “This is the only black music that will sell”
Women of all colors have similar things done with them, usually getting pushed into love songs.
https://youtu.be/uAq6RjSuwXQ - Korn actually made a music video with black celebrities as stand-ins for the band solely to send the message of “If we were black, this song couldn’t exist because the industry is just that racist.”
And I think it’s common knowledge that the song “Love Song”, was specifically in rebellion to the artist in question being told that women HAVE to do love songs.
If you told me that Suge Knight was responsible for the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, I’d believe you.
Well, Superman looked up at me,
he said, “You rock so naturally”
I said "Now that you’ve learned to deal, let me tell you why I’m so for real.
I’m Cozmo D from outer space, I came to rock the human race.
I do it right ‘cause I can’t do it wrong That’s why the whole world is singin’ this song"
Ah, jam on it
F the fascists
I have a Celtic knot tattoo on my forearm (actually it’s the album cover of King Crimson’s album Discipline).
My British friend told me I shouldn’t display that in public in the UK because people might think I’m a neonazi.
I’m like fuck no, Celtic symbols don’t belong to Nazis and I won’t let them have it! Also, it’s a prog album cover wtfRespect for having Discipline cover tattooed on your forearm
Yeah, prog rock’s not very popular so most people won’t recognize it as what it is, unfortunately… However, I wear band tshirts like 80% of the time and by far the best reactions were to my Rush Tshirt. Followed by Riverside and KGLW.
Anyway, fuck nazis !
There’s a specific breed of online Nazis who insist that it’s ‘punk’ to be Conservative.
Those idiots wouldn’t know punk even if it headbutted them in the face.
I say we put this to the test as often as possible.
fascists are even trying to steal the identity and word of conservatisim.
conservatives of 12-15 years ago are liberal by todays standards.
Do fascists really try to take Satanism though? Don’t they usually prefer to claim to be on God’s side?
There’s a bunch of fucking Nazi punks out there. Punk and satanism are uber alles. Punk is anti fascist as it gets but these fucks are too stupid to see it.
Fascists try to take everything they can get their hands on to try and get a way “in”. There’s O9A, Joy of Satan, STS (not TST) and others.
Nazis are cultural parasites.
I had to stop wearing my Mjølner pendant because of those fucks. So I fully agree.
You didn’t have to. That’s called relenting. Could have worn a “fuck fascists” message alongside it? Maybe it was easier to give up that battle?
They already took flags in multiple countries.
It’s always iffy when you carry the flag of your country because the people who do that tend to be assholes. Let’s not let them get anything else.
And take the flags back too.
Yep. 100% true in Sweden. They’ve been doing it since the 90s.
