Enjoy their silence

I can't really top this.

Enjoy their silence

Words are very unnecessary.

 

[wandering]

Isn't Paul Ryan a RATM fan anyway ?

He was, but then broke up with them when they mocked him.

 

[HazySaiyan]

Can we stop calling Nazis 'provocateurs'? Stop downplaying this shit.

 

[Ordinaryundone]

It's unfortunate that artists and creators don't really get a say in whether their work becomes a hate symbol/anthem of the alt right or not.

Wagner and Nietzsche have had to hold that for decades

 

[Fj0823]

Guess he was WRONG

Amirite guys?

 

[PillarEN]

I would expect him to be a Ace of Base fan... Not Depeche Mode

Underrated post

Ace of Base's Secret Nazi Past

You learn something every day.

 

[lamaroo]

Don't ask this guy about what music he enjoys.

Anytime you talk about him, it should be about how he's a Nazi, not what his favourite fucking band is.

How in the fuck have I not heard about this until now? I'm Swedish and didn't know this

 

[anaron]

It's always hilarious and weird how many of these shitheads love liberal artists

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

They listen to the song with its Alternative Lyrics

White People are People

 

[Seiryoden]

Get the fucking fuck out of here you Nazi cunt.

 

[Acorn]

"Provocateur" is quickly becoming just another sugar-coaty bullshit buzzword because racist white supremacists are too fragile to be called racist white supremacist.

It's always been used by media for this purpose. It's basically code for " he's evil but we are too"

 

[akira28]

existential angst, pain, sadism, horror, darkness and much more.

so the alt-right is going to try to own the Hyper Edge Lordosis Syndrome?

Ow the edge.

 

[Acorn]

so the alt-right is going to try to own the Hyper Edge Lordosis Syndrome?

Ow the edge.

The venn of edge lords and alt right is just one big circle.

 

[anaron]

Uhhhh holy shit at the Ace of Base stuff. that's chilling

 

[Easy_D]

so the alt-right is going to try to own the Hyper Edge Lordosis Syndrome?

Ow the edge.

Edgy social outcasts hate everything because they feel they don't belong. They group together and instead of becoming decent people they decide it's everyone else that's wrong.

 

[Sullichin]

The only thing anyone should take from this is that Depeche Mode fucking owns

whoa, they definitely slipped this one under the radar

 

[MisterShine]

Attack and degrade me for the color of my skin, whatever.

Besmirch the good name of Depeche Mode?

 

[Easy_D]

There's literally nothing in Swedish media about the obvious nazi symbolism in Ace of Bace's lyrics and videos

What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

 

[Electric Eye]

When I think about what music the weirdo alt right listens too Depeche Mode is not it. I always figured the alt-right listens to nightcore because animu.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.

Spoiler

Milo's favorite Depeche Mode song is "A Question of Time."

 

[deadscreensky]

KMFDM in the studios right now

Bah, beaten to the KMFDM jokes.

Wagner and Nietzsche have had to hold that for decades

Wagner was an antisemitic hypernationalist and deserves to hold that L. Appropriately enough, Nietzsche very publicly abandoned and denounced Wagner for those very same issues, decades before Nazis even existed.

 

[Alebrije]

Alt right and their own personal Jesus......

Attack and degrade me for the color of my skin, whatever.

[ModBot]

This would already be a marginal news item if this guy was actually in any way important and wasn't just in the news for being a Nazi who got punched in the face.
