Shout them down in every space, make them embarrased to think the stupid shit they think.

If we don’t embarrass and correct them now we will have to kill them later when they come for our friends and families.

    They’ve already taken some Metal. Went to a Metallica concert and there were trump flags in the parking lot, militia-style shirts, firearms shirts, blue line flag shirts, Punisher skull shirts…. I was surrounded by White Power and authoritarians. The Metal Heads I grew up with all decided they wanted to carry the batons and riot shields they hated in their youth. Didn’t help that FFDP was there with their military fetish and making commentary about the Biden administration.

        Kind of yes, although their music didn’t have anything to do it, and their “white supremacism” didn’t go much beyond “but can that n----- play the guitar?”, confederate flags, and Phil Anselmo’s “edgy humor”. Some of it was actually overplayed, because Dimebag didn’t play his guitar 100% aligned to perfect rythm, and djent kids didn’t like that. Metallica is more aware its own right wingedness in its music.

      I’m kinda disappointed how much I like some of their stuff, but I refuse to support them and their Wehraboo fanbase.

      I can believe that.

      I’ve a afroamerican mate here in Sweden, kinda mad lad.

      He’s from NY. Once he told me at every gig he was the only black guy in the crowd (90s), Punk, metal, he always was alone.

      Anyway it seems he had a good time, but I guess NY it’s diffent from many other places in the Us.

        Depends on the band, I guess. Been to some punk stuff and it was really mixed. Metallica was the biggest metal show I’ve been to, there were different ethnicities in the crowd, but I would have felt kinda uncomfortable were I them. E: TBC I felt uncomfortable by what I saw.

          Depends on the band and part of NY. People tend to forget that NY state is huge and has a lot of rural areas. I lived in the Hudson Valley for a long time and went to a ton of punk and metal shows in that area and can say that the crowds were 99% white. That being said, we didn’t give a fuck if you weren’t white; people in the pit only cared of you were an asshole who was out to hurt people.

      Dude I went to an Incubus concert a couple years ago and there was a guy proudly wearing a “Let’s go Brandon!” shirt.

      He might’ve been cheering on the singer though.
