Imagine being internally terrified of the mundane world around you and outwardly certain you're a big bad wolf. Such is a conservative.

Replace the big wolf with a log for accuracy

What are the notable examples of this?

Trump rallies playing Rage Against the Machine comes to mind

Or playing fortunate son, a song about rich sons not having to go to war.

Or born in the USA. And we're not gonna take it as well.

They think "Killing in the Name" is a celebration that the police are on their side.

Neonazis love Sabaton, despite Sabaton doing multiple press releases that say "fuck you Nazi scum aren't welcome". Same with Rammstein, people hear things about Germany and assume you're on the side of the genocidal fascists.

They said only Nazis call it Kristallnacht, because it sounds too poetic

In Germany this is true. Most people call it Reichsprogromnacht because Reichskristallnacht is a term coined by the Nazis and it really sounds kinda poetic.

But I wouldn't blame non native speakers for not knowing all the nuances and I don't know how old the song is and the context makes everything clear.

Maybe poetic is the wrong word. Kristal means cristal (if not obvious) which is a shiny and very positive conotated word. The message is that destroying all the synagogues with all the violence included is a good thing because it makes Germany look better.

I never used the framing "bad tast". I explained why the term isn't used in Germany anymore and why it's ok that Sabatan used it. What even is your problem?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's a fallacy called cherry picking, picking something specific and ignoring context. One could easily cherry pick parts of other Sabaton songs as "defense" for nazis (Ghost Division) or even the soviets (Attero Dominatus)

Now that I think about it, the history book I had during my high school called it Crystal Night, I guess because it sounds more memorable than "Pogrom Night"

There are plenty of white supremacist fans of Insane Clown Posse, despite the fact that ICP has released multiple songs about violently mutilating and killing white supremacists

"Conservative listening bands exclusively to that hate them"

That’s called appropriating it to your side. Yankee Doodle was an insult to the Americans.
