But seriously...
I'm going to come forward now, and get ready for it, the whole "nazi" thing, has been, from day one, a huge. joke.
I only seriously started to perpetuate the joke after the "GODDAMN NAZI!" incident, because I thought it was INSANELY FUNNY.
I can see where the idea probobly originally came from, what with my love of certain neofolk bands who use/have used fascist aesthetic in the past, or for my love of the Italian philosopher Julius Evola (who was NEVER a member of the fascist party, and actually quite often criticized it). Not to mention my other loves of NSBM (doesn't make you a nazi by listening to it, just look at JayKeeley), and my love of Northern European culture (that really makes me a nazi, now doesn't it?)
The joke has been carried on for quite some time now, and personally, I'm getting tired of it... especially since it seems that only at least one person on this forum doesn't realize it's a joke, and at least one person continues to attack me for that.
Third Reich jokes are FUNNY. If Germany is ever going to get over its history, they're going to have to be able to laugh at themselves for it. Hiding the symbols of the past only makes the symbols as powerful as they were when they were hidden. If the symbols are made public again, they will be eventually be rendered meaningless. Case in point, how the curse words "Jesus Christ..." "Goddamn" or "Fuck" (thank you Ozzy Osbourne), have in popular culture become meaningless words and practically take on adjectival qualities these days.
Then again, if Germany continues to get worked up about stuff like
this or this there is presently no hope.
anyway, I'm done ranting.
I am no much more of a nazi than Mike, Erik, or Max (Fucking Johnson).
Jokes are always so much funnier when you're forced to explain them.
