Does EDM have a nazi problem? Gonna need an explanation on that
Yeah maybe it’s changed recently with the growth in popularity but as someone who’s gone to raves and festivals for well over a decade it’s always been one of the most welcoming cultures.
I know the more major festivals have gotten less so over the years but it’s more just generic assholes not Nazis.
It’s 2024. I’m more surprised when a subculture doesn’t have a Nazi problem, sadly.
The oddest thing to me was: even Bronies. Even Bronies have/had a Nazi problem.
I present, ‘Aryanne’:
BetterHelp’s new social media sales tactics are pretty intense
You’re surprised that 4chan dwelling furry losers have a Nazi problem?
I could have gone my whole life without seeing that.
Lol this looks like something the hacker 4chan created as a gatcha for good morning America
There are some things that do not deserve ‘tolerance’.
Tolerance is a social contract. Those who abide by it are protected by it. Those who reject it are not
I see no reason to ‘tolerate’ pedophiles, for instance; are you saying that society should tolerate them? An extreme example, to be sure, but it’s still a valid example.
Similarly I see no reason to tolerate fascism in my representative democracy. Nor do I see a reason to tolerate seditionists and traitors that seek to destroy my representative democracy. Are you also saying our society should tolerate them, as well?
There are limits to everything, whether you like it or not. The alternative is chaos.
You are agreeing with what he just said. It’s a social contract. Those who break the social contract, pedophiles, fascists, et al, are not protected by the social contract.
shrug okay. Too many comments I’m responding to and it’s hard to keep track of them all, especially on a website I’m not that familiar with yet.
Nazi punks fuck off! I’m not a huge Kennedys fan but I’ll blast that one any time.
I always liked “Master Race in Outer Space” by The Vandals. It’s about loading all of the nazis into rockets and launching them to the moon. Good stuff.

You want moon nazis? That’s how you get moon nazis.
Nobody ever said that the nazi moon rockets would have landing gear.
I despise (the sound of) punk but you gotta respect the whole pro-working class, anti-nazi movement.
That same man said in the same song…
Punk ain’t no religious cult
Punk means thinking for yourself
Yeah. Respect.
I just wish punk wasn’t so grating on my ears so I could get into it more. It’s by far my least favorite genre lol
It’s not for everyone. And that’s ok.
This is why every anti-nazi protest needs to have everyone armed. Those bastards won’t show their faces around people who can and will fight back.
Protests in general should be heavily armed and (more importantly) well organized. Whether it’s the Nazis or the cops (insert ‘same picture’ meme here), they’re scared of an actual fight
Surveillance states and mobile recording devices in everyone’s pocket, plus a media machine that portrays any violence done as barbarism means that the people delivering haymakers to skinhead fucks are no longer safe themselves
That dude who punched a Nazi in Seattle is fine I’m pretty sure. Punching Nazis is cool
Deliver haymakers to the police en masse.
Sometimes violence is the answer.
I can’t believe this hasnt been taken down. This site is chock full of pussies who think this is advocating violence and you should just tolerate Nazi freedom of speech and try to win them over in the “marketplace of ideas.”
Those same people get real salty about “tankies” who they think= anyone left of Biden and not a pacifist.
Oh no, tankies are those who believe that anybody to the right of Stalin needs to be sent to the gulag.
Beating up nazis and other fascists is self defense.
Violence works. People don’t wanna hear it but it works and is a useful and effective tool.
Violence is never the answer.
It’s a question and the answer is “yes.”
You can’t destroy Nazism with your mind. You have to use your body.
My mind controls my body. Checkmate Lemmy.
Nazi punks? fuck off.
Similar situation with punk. There are still Nazi Punks, but they’re asking for trouble at most gigs or areas with that sort of influence. From Dead Kennedys to Chumba Wamba, folks make it known these days they’re not welcome. Shame about the few bands here and there still spreading the rhetorics, yet barking dogs will always be heard in the distance…
I was at a party in college & a young lady was having a not so great night. She passed out, horked up what apparently looked like Alice Springs Chicken from Outback, & one of her sorority sisters had drawn a swastika on her forehead.
My roommate & I knew where she lived. So I went to grab puke-a-potomous, she went to get her car.
By the time I got back to puke-a-potomous on the couch, someone had turned the swastika into a very crudely drawn Windows logo.
Now I kinda wanna see some NaziPunk get pinned down at a concert, while someone converts his offensive tattoos into corporate logos.
Indeed, the situation with punk is very similar to the situation with punk. Good point.
the only* solution. ive been coming to understand talking them out of being fascists rarely works if they are that deep into it.
You cannot logic someone out of a position that they didn’t use logic to get to.
Only two options really, play on their emotional reasoning to make them feel the victim of their own beliefs, or you know, make their physical safety in question.
I still find it hard to not automatically assume a bald guy dressed in typical punk attire isn’t a neo-nazi skinhead, since almost every dude I’ve met that looks like that has been one.
Your assumptiom would most likely be wrong. The vast majority of punks in general are anti-racist and would gladly punch a Nazi. The ones that are most likely to actually deliver the punch are the bald guys in typical punk attire.
The original skinhead movement was very progressive, anti-racist, and there are plenty of skinhead punks still representing it in the exact same way. All of the skinhead punks in my area identify as SHARPS or Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice, and I don’t live in a super progressive place or anything.
Nazi skinhead punks aren’t seen in public much, nowadays, mostly thanks to the guaranteed violence from the people mentioned above. If they are brave enough to be in public, they will make it known with some sort of asshole patch, asshole tattoo, or doc marten boots with white laces, but I’ve never seen one at a normal punk show.

Not many groups out there I wish violence upon, but nazis sure as hell make that list.
My list is pretty short:
Nazis. Propagandists. Billionaires that affect society for their own benefit. People who hurt kids
Really it could just be two:
Propagandists and people who hurt kids.
Billionaires have no power without propaganda and Nazis aren’t made without propaganda.
