Official "Phil Anselmo is a c*nt" Thread

I'm willing to bet Kerry didn't even know what the fuck is going on on that shirt. It just looked edgy and rebellious to him. He ain't even from the south.

Rebel flag, cool, I'm a rebel!

not necessarily: he may harbour bigoted views but lacks the awareness to note that some of his views suggest he not associate with many of those he does. or he could excuse his associates "ah, you're different to THEM" (whomever "them" are who are the focus of his bigotry). plus it should be said that literally (one would imagine anyway) everywhere outwith the US/North America/Euro Nazi circles tho even then sometimes, people of Hispanic origin are considered to be white as white gets, maybe that fella (is that K-Double from Slayer?) also thinks that.

or he's a fucking idiot wearing a Bad Shirt. that'd be the best case, eh.

Nazi SS Symbol






Just saying. 

By "true" I was referring to Jaysee's post. HR your trolling game is weak lately 

that's what i was thinking (hoping, i don't actually know anything about the man) but that shirt is baaaaaaaaaaaad (which obvs no one is disputing) and not smart.

(that directed at binge's post, idek what to think re lemmy but that's DODGY AF too)

Lol

"I only collect the stuff, not the ideas" - Lemmy

Sorry Jase, I disagree. The flag doesn't represent slavery.

Incorrectly associated with, perhaps, but certainly not representative of.

It's used alot in white pride stuff these days.

I agree, why associate yourself with something which could be interpreted as being Fascist in the first place. It just doesn't make sense unless it's deliberate.

yeah, i actually totally forgot about that

of course the symbolism is still there (and idk why that community uses the symbol, it again could just be the aesthetic!) tho it's probs not not related to appeals to lebensraum and german supremacy. i do go w/ HR tho that associating oneself with symbolism that can suggest fascism or racism or w/e isn't too smart.

there is a difference between the iron cross (i think) and the swastika (in a european/american context) and the confederate flag/flags with the confederate saltire tbf (i think).

Of course it's deliberate.

Whenever someone calls them a Nazi, Racist or Fascist, they get the opportunity to correct and educate them. Hopefully that person will then go and look up the history of the symbols and learn something.

hey, i read that wiki article too!

and thank you for educating me, a white boy from eastern scotland, about custom car and bike scenes in the western united states! i am sorry you had to do that! pray tell, could you tell me why they appropriate the iron cross for their aesthetic? is it purely because of its aesthetic style or is there a meaning behind it?

pls do not tell me how or where i saw iron crosses, yeppy darling, i've spent a great deal of my education studying german and prussian history xoxo

i actually did not say it was repurposed or anything by the nazis, literally just that it can have connotations of prussian/german nationalism (certainly as recently as the 1930s (y'know) and as far back as the teutonic order: idk what happens these days, i'm not down with the reactionary youth). i also said it could represent some ancestral importance, y'know, being german and all that.

tbf depending on who you ask and where you are, that flag and its symbolism actually might not be that different to the swastika. history doesn't just happen in europe, to europeans. y'dig?
