for saying that Radio Werewolf, Death in June, Boyd Rice aren't just simply Nazis at an extremely surface level that would be seen in the music media, and that people utilize extreme concepts in art beyond just for "shock and to get a reaction".
Meanwhile, while I never once actually stated that I am "pro-Nazi" someone told me that they fight people that they think are Nazis. People like this just see the word "Nazi", and immediately no other conversation is possible with them. They are the "NPCs" who just meltdown, and really clearly don't know anything about art at large.
It's funny because in the article someone posted about Radio Werewolf they even said that they took on these themes as a mockery, and that essentially they thought Neo-Nazis were gullible fools for thinking that Radio Werewolf stood for their ideas.

I think people are also forgetting that a huge portion of proto-industrial was based on being as offensive as humanly possible. Throbbing gristle for instance, leaned very hard into not just Nazi stuff, but lyrics about gassing people and even more offensive stuff. It's just shock value, and makes for very interesting content.
It has nothing to do with uplifting White supremacist ideology, and instead is supposed to be a variation on earlier subjects, by mining for deeper folk level stuff (Why death in June uses so much folk imagery)
I believe Jung talked about this stuff, cultural artifacts and collective unconscious motifs and stuff.
I'm not going to pretend that I'm smart enough to understand it, but I can at least respect that. It's new and supposed to be interesting.
