Official "Phil Anselmo is a c*nt" Thread

As Binge said, it depends on how it's used and the context. I'm pretty sure Lemmy used to not give a fuck at all, and wear Nazi era uniforms with Swastikas willingly.

Either way, it's not a good comparison as the Swastika was adopted as the logo for the NSDAP party. They used the symbol to represent their party which means it represents all the atrocities committed by the party. It's been tarnished forever.

The Iron Cross was a military award presented to German soldiers for military feats. It has no association with the Nazi party other than it continued to be awarded to German soldiers for military feats while they were in power. An Iron Cross (of an updated design) is given to German soldiers today. An iron cross is still displayed on modern German Luftwaffe Aircraft today (practically identical to the Nazi era Iron Cross shown on aircraft in WW2).

So yeah, the swastika is a silly comparison as its use case was completely different.

If you read this:

You will be referred to this in the "In Post-War Pop Culture" section:

I'd like to know why the biker gangs are using Nazi symbols then, it all seems a bit suspect to me yepsure, i could be wrong though.

Because biker gangs want to look scary.

GO EAT SOME BUTT. 

It's actually not a hack, on another forum I post on when the whole Nazi salute thing went down someone pointed out that the Housecore Records youtube account was suscribed to and liked videos from a few channels along those lines.

Hahahaha.

So the latest from Phil:

"I was playing a part"

and

"If that joke is no longer funny anymore, so be it"

and

"It takes one to know one" (AKA the classic "I'm not the racist, you are")

I understand what he's trying to say but c'mon man you're just making it worse. 

I'm totally using that in my day to day dealings when students give me a load of bullshit.

I won't be listening to Down or Pantera anymore, i can't stand that racist douche's voice. He's a liar and a coward; if he's a white supremacist why doesn't he just say so instead of making lame excuses. 

I've never listened to Superjoint before so I gave the new album a spin. I agree with you, it's pretty good.
