    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.

        Then the answer is “oppose”.

        Richard Spencer and Vice President Donald Trump are cunts.

        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.

    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.

    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 awfully

      Those 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.

    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

          In the right contexts, sure. Just because it’s not UNIVERSALLY useful now doesn’t mean that it’s become useless forever.
