Unironically supporting the supremacy of the Big E, purity of the human species, and fascism of the Emperium. Like folks missing the irony in Verhoven's Starship Troopers.
I don't think the person you're replying to is accusing the authors of being Nazis. There are people out there who will support fascist characters in their favourite fictional universes, and when they go to social events like tabletop tournaments they'll bring a lot of talking points that are very close to fascism with them
I wonder if maybe the phrase "Nazis infiltrating" is ascribing it too much intention in your mind?
People with awful views on the world appear in all sorts of hobbies, you're right, and that's sort of what I mean by co-opting or infiltrating; it might not always be a concerted sneaky plan, but these people turn up in spaces with other people and are so disagreeable that it pushes everyone else away.
Yes I was ascribing it too much intention apparently.
I don't know, maybe because Im not a native speaker or something, it all sounded like it means there is a grand conspiracy to infiltrate beer (one of the stuff mentioned in op).
Actually I still don't understand how beer comes into this...
I'm not sure what you mean. What I'm talking about is from the original post.
Nazis won't take over satanism, black metal, punk, beer(wtf!!?) or anything else like that. It doesn't work like that.
Are there historical examples of non-Nazis stealing culture in a really full way? (okie lemme Wiki that in the meantime btw)
Transparently: curious to assess what would constitute cultural theft by your standards. I’m not married to anything in this topic, so don’t have any canned attack on my clipboard or anything heh. And I’ll learn :)
My understanding is that a group infiltrates a culture to the point the culture becomes synonymous with it.
Otherwise there is no real point to it. Of course there are a lot of nazi people listening to hard rock. They are usually young men that would listen to hard rock no matter what their political view. But you can't say hard rock is Nazi.
The ADL didn't call Elon's salute a hate symbol, I think we can rule out their expertise at the moment. Also: "Non-racist pagans may also use this symbol, so one should carefully examine it in context rather than assume that a particular use of the symbol is racist."
LOL, you're being downvoted all over this thread, but I'm the troll. And if you really think the skinheads present, or have ever presented, a bigger nazi threat than the republican party right now, I don't know what to tell you anymore.
That's not gonna stick. Maga are not cultured people. They don't listen to music, they don't delve into self reflection, they aren't thinking about meaning and the universe. There is no art there.
Sure there are a few people here and there, that will make a website, but that's not gonna hold.
Punk Rock and black metal? I don't know, I listen to a lot of that and I get rarely hear any Nazis making such music. Of course there are bands like that, but there are also some gay Nazis and we aren't taking about Nazis appropriateing gayness.
You listen to a lot of black metal and are not aware of the Nazi problem? Come on some of the most well known black metal bands have Nazis in them everybody knows varg is a nazi.
Black metal has a whole nazi subgenre NSBM you have to be blind to not realize black metal has a nazi problem.
No comparison will be completely comparable. I'm trying to picture that the op is absurd.
Nazis don't take over and steal cultures. They don't take over any musical genre and just because there are some nazis that like anime, doesn't mean anime is Nazi. That's just simple a fallacy and I can't comprehend why there are so many people arguing with me about it.
This is different than any group having the potential to have Nazis and you know it.
When burzum one of the most well known black metal bands has a Nazi as its sole musician and its just accepted along with many other bands having straight up self admitted Nazis there is a fucking nazi problem. Most genres of music are not like this. This is like saying oh black metal isn't anti-Christian every group of people has christian haters there are only a few church burnings no big deal.
The first wave of black metal didn't have as much Nazis as the 2nd wave the Nazis infiltrated
black metal is not inherently nazi but it does have a lot of Nazis in it black metal still has a nazi problem.
Nazis do steal cultures they have been doing it since the beginning the swastica wasn't originally a symbol of hate the Nazis took it
Someone pointed out to me that I'm taking the words steal, infiltrate and take over too literally, which I was. I understand now that the point of the op is not to claim that there is a coordinated conspiracy to steal music genres and claim them for themselves, but to be mindful of the more risky genres (if we take music genres as an example).
I thought it meant black metal was at risk to be taken over which I thought was absurd.
Yes it is. I can compare gala apples to kanzi apples.
The reason so many people are arguing with you about it is that you are wrong. You should accept that first, and then you can grow as a person. It's quite liberating.
No, it's not a fallacy. It's an observation, a demonstrable fact, that Nazis try to appropriate cultures. Punk is a great example of that. The very essence of the original Nazis was to appropriate the culture of patriotism and twist it into a genocidal worldview. It's very important with the world as it currently is, that you understand how fascism works. If you are arguing in good faith here and not an actual nazi propagandist (sorry it's impossible to tell) then you really do need to read a bit more about it. There's not much more I can tell you really.
Fascists appropriate culture in an effort to swell their ranks
Football perhaps, maybe football away games. All the trouble that some hooligans cause abroad. Thankfully football might be too big to fail, but they do give it a bad vibe at the worst of times.
I'll take your imitation as flattering.
It's the entire point about Nazi appropriation of subcultures that you're missing, not any single point I've made.
Good question.
I don't like to put words in your mouth, but it seems to me that your point is something along the lines of "Nazis don't actually steal culture"?
Nazis didn't steal punk rock. They are not a gang that decides which music genre they will invade. The music was there from the start. Plus, which Nazis are we taking about now? The ones in the American government? The ones in ww2?
Someone said nazis are infiltrating miniature desktop games. That's insane. Anime, beer!!!!??? Wtf?
Maybe it's infiltrating literature too, documentaries, movies, leather, skulls, black color, iron, .. all of that I can connect to nazis.
And then I'm getting downvoted. This whole place is insane.
