    Ahh, the irony of white supremacists using a form of musical self-expression that black people created: rap.

      Prejudice tends to lack a capacity for self reflection and an understanding of irony.

      It’s the same with nazi punks and MAGAs who like Rage Against The Machine, they just want something that sounds loud, aggressive, and violent and rarely understand what they’re listening to or how it came about until it’s shoved right in their face. Then they get all offended about it.

      Most of the time, the best they can make themselves is a cheap, talent-less imitation that lacks any sense of authenticity, and to try and overcome that they’ve resorted to something that can produce a finely polished turd that still lacks any sense of authenticity.

      Don’t get me started on skinheads. That subculture comes from Jamaica and the music they listen to was created by black people and/or leftists.

      Right wingers can’t create culture. They can only steal from others.

        At least they left skinheadism for the most part, because it was a very easy identifier of political extremism. Most Hungarian skins at least became “football fans”, and no longer use razor to shave their heads. Even heard of some of the remaining ones getting doxxed by more dapper-looking alt-righters, to keep the image of “moderation” they go for.

          That’s even worse. They infiltrated another subculture, and a much bigger one - football fans.

      Or rock, blues, house, country, etc. I think white people can solidly claim bagpipe dirges though, as long as the racists think Scottish people are white enough.

          The Irish weren’t for awhile, either. What’s really wild is this case where an Indian man argued that he was white due to being Aryan, but the Supreme Court ruled that his argument did not contain a “common sense” definition of whiteness. So, the highest court in the land determined that whiteness is purely based on vibes.

          Dimension more nuanced than yours. You take extreme minority and apply their shortcomings to half of the political spectrum

            Half the political spectrum are not far-right. At this stage, it’s probably not even a third, depending on where you draw the line. And of those third. what percentage are not (explicitly or implicitly) white supremacists?

            Anyway, they’re still fascists, even if they’re inconsistent ones, so fuck 'em.
