The only viable solution when Nazis take control of government is violence. There is no reasoning with them, they are not logical.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The violence came from outside the country last time. That's not happening this time.

This is correct, and also, Nazis don't care about good faith argumentation. They're explicitly anti-liberal (as in, liberty, freedom) and will only pretend to have these values to try and point out an apparent contradiction ("You believe in rights to speech and democracy, so why are you censoring us?")

In this video of former white supremacists talking about how they left the ideology, one brings up that on their Nazi website, it was normal and common to argue for points they knew were garbage, like the Great Replacement theory. It's about power and results, not liberalist idealism.

Violent methods usually aren't the preferred way of dealing with Nazis (because it's harder to get a mass movement to join in and support it, and because it's riskier, legally, which makes it harder to sustain), but it works. It broke up the BUF in Britain, it's kept the local turds scared to show their faces or reveal their true thoughts (don't worry, they still usually get revealed by researchers anyway). Violence works. They know it and we know it. But when they're the government, their violence is now legal.

Nazis want to take that freedom

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Of course, but it's there now and they're happy to abuse it. Call them hypocrites all you want, they couldn't care less.

Saw him play recently in Alabama. They were selling this phrase on a shirt. Much to my surprise, that shirt was sold out by the time I went to pick it up. I was pleasantly shocked.

[–] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Saw someone wearing that shirt in a shopping mall in the UK!

That's how bands make most of their money in the streaming era and with ticketmaster raking in a big chunk of the ticket sales despite not providing much.

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago (8 children)

They could just play shows at venues not owned by Ticketmaster

Violence against Nazis isnt the answer, its a question and the answer is always yes.

I wanna hear everyone's fight music! I've been leaning on RTJ the last few days.

[–] SwampYankee@mander.xyz 0 points 1 week ago

Basically anything off of Idles' 2020 masterpiece, Ultra Mono. Grounds is probably the most direct fight song. My other favorites are War, Mr. Motivator, and Carcinogenic.

[–] Benjaben@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Dead Prez been radical and vocal about social and political issues since long before everyone else got there. Music is probably dated by now but their messages have always been consistent and they are very applicable today.

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe Im basic but Rise Against still hits. Sudden Urge goes hard. Also turns out they just released a new song within the last 24h that I need to listen to

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I need to poke at their newer stuff. I kinda stopped paying attention to their new releases after Black Market and the one single they released a couple years after that, but there's a few songs that hit that older style like The Eco Terrorist in Me that still go hard. I do respect that even as the sound left my general preferred punk sound, their lyrics remained as complex and literary as always (seriously how often are you looking up words from song lyrics in a dictionary?)

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

Propaghandi is a big one for me since they're from my city, but also Dead Kennedys, NoFX, Stray From the Path, Jeff Rosenstock

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Of that list, I know TMBG. Always a fav of mine, and I appreciate their attempts to educate and promote science. The sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma!

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

They've definitely been one of my faves as well since I was a kid and found them while watching Malcom in the Middle

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I love the fact that the song you quoted is a kind of retraction of another, less scientifically accurate song of theirs.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas...

That whole proapgandhi thing about then regretting the lyrics to Halle salasse up you ass for talking shit about Rastafari was dumb. That religion is nuts.

Ya can't say I disagree with you there

[–] tissek@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

From old timey union fight songs (ex Workers of the world, Awaken) to protest rock. The Swedish band Nationalteatern have a great banger "Staten och Kapitalet" about that the state and the capital sit in the same boat, but it is not those who row and the whip does not lick their fat necks.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

I've been loving the old Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Phil Ochs, Billy Bragg, and Barbara Dane

This music just hits so hard

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Probably a lot of obvious choices on here, but I like to think of it as honoring the classics of the genre, and hopefully there are a few entries which are new to folks.

  • Crime Mob - Knuck if You Buck (this goes at the start of the playlist, because, in my experience, playing this to a crowd of significant size will result in hands being thrown somewhere, it is a statistical inevitability)
  • Godsmack - I Stand Alone
  • Pantera - Walk
  • Limp Bizkit - Rollin
  • Rage Against the Machine - Fistful of Steel
  • Lil Wayne ft Eminem- Drop the World
  • CKY - 96 Quite Bitter Beings
  • DMX - X Gon Give It To Ya
  • Ludacris - Get Back
  • KMFDM - Free Your Hate
  • Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
  • Powerman 5000 - When Worlds Collide
  • Static-X - Push It
  • DJ Shadow ft Run the Jewels - Nobody Speak
  • Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand
  • Slipknot - People=Shit
  • Slayer - Raining Blood
  • Holy Fuck - Tom Tom
  • Danzig - Mother
  • Queens of the Stone Age - You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire (gotta find an edit without the intro tho)
  • Mastodon - Blood and Thunder
  • Mïngle Härder (formerly Möngöl Hörde) - Blistering Blue Barnacles

Two nautical themed metal/hardcore songs which get me ready to tussle isn't a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice.

  • Rise Against - State of the Union
  • Coheed and Cambria - Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry the Defiant (with honorable mention to In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3 and Welcome Home)
  • Chevelle - The Red
  • Bullet For My Valentine - Waking the Demon
  • Eve 6 - Think Twice
  • Hole - Violet
  • Dead Kennedys - Nazi Punks Fuck Off
  • Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Winds

That seems like enough brainstorming for now. Hope someone finds something they vibe with.

[–] Manalith@midwest.social 0 points 1 week ago (5 children)

+1 for State of the Union and Sentry the Defiant. I also see your Waking the Demon and raise you one You want a Battle? (Here's a War). I don't know if we're all against Anti-flag with Justin Sane being a trash human, but their catalogue is still good for this situation.

I've known about KMFDM for a long time but discovered Free Your Hate about this time in 2017, it's too bad it's that relevant again but at least we've got some good Nazi-punching music.

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (3 children)

In all honesty, I have no idea how I came across that song. Despite some of the other selections that are also in that mold, industrial metal isn't actually a genre I fuck with that much. I'm open to it, especially as I've continued to get comfortable in some of the less melodic subgenres, but the actual wave of popularity these bands were riding on missed me as a kid and ive come to it later.

I assume that it must have been included in a video game soundtrack of some kind? In fact, as I've been writing this comment, I think it may have been a part of the Brutal Legend soundtrack, and I had all of that stuff on my iPod at the time.

Song do go pretty hard tho, don't it?

Nazis deserve exactly as much mercy and tolerance as they give to others.

Paradox of tolerance.

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.

In a tolerant society we must be intolerant of intolerance.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

In a tolerant society we must be intolerant of intolerance.

No we musn't. The intolerant have broken the social contract and are no longer extended that latitude.

[–] monotremata@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You are agreeing. They said we must be INtolerant of intolerance.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago

You are correct, I misread what they wrote despite quoting it. Whoops. 🙂

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Screw the paradox. Tolerance is a social contract. Intolerant people aren't covered by the contract, therefore intolerance of intolerance isn't hypocritical or paradoxical.

[–] wasabi@feddit.org 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If only his solo music was as good as his politics. The difference in quality between his work with RATM and his solo output is mind boggling.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

That feels unnecessarily harsh. Especially since music is subjective and he's purposefully not using his greatest skill, the electric guitar... and while I'm not a fan of the nightwatchman stuff, the music itself isn't bad, just not my cup of tea. Also, the Audioslave stuff is great too, not just RATM. That's already two hugely successful bands, which is 2 more than most artists.
