    was not familiar with them…

    from their wiki - had performed at rallies for The Right to Work, Rock Against Racism, and the Anti-Nazi League. -

    holy shit this is a ride

    “The Totenkopf-6 is a slightly grinning skull, framed by a circle and a small 6 in the lower right corner. Death in June has, since at least the State Laughter / Holy Water 7″, used variations of the Prussian Totenkopf or “Death’s Head” symbol. Indeed, there is another explanation that has been given by Pearce, he has also stated that it symbolises “total commitment” to the group, akin to the total commitment of soldiers of the SS”

    ah… getting to the shit that matters -

    “The Southern Poverty Law Center considers Death in June to be white power music harboring neo-Nazi sympathies.”

    yeeeaah this all fits

      I was a goth in my youth and they were among the more controversial bands. They could be just edge lords or Nazis. The guys that listened to them turned out to be Nazis, so there’s that.

        I refuse to make a distinction anymore. If you “joke” about being a Nazi, you’re a Nazi.

          I used to think the nazi edgelord stuff was kind of funny, because I found it absurd.
          The idea that anyone acting like a nazi was ‘actually’ a nazi never crossed my mind, because I genuinely thought we as a species had collectively agreed that being a nazi is the closest thing to pure evil.
          Oh how wrong I was.

        I was in the scene at the same time and me and my friends were always making fun of neofolk bands and their fans, because its such boring music and simply copying clothing styles of the 1940s, fitting to the boring mind of a nazi
