Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Adopting leftist music by perverting its meaning is pretty much the M.O. of far-right anthems/songs, no matter what the song was about originally. See: Tomorrow Belongs to Me, Fortunate son (to a milder extent), Born in the U.S.A as some of more well-known English examples.
I wonder if this was an attempt at doing precisely that, or was it just some publicity stunt for the movement.
they usually misinterpret the meaning especially if it is used in a movie or they assume most agree with them
At this point I think the Right does this simply to get more publicity.
Pick an artist you know will call you out, and then use their music. When the band says they aren't Right Wing it's just more coverage. Even better, people will associate the movement with the music either way.
No publicity is bad publicity.
But it's exhausting.
Fuck those crap sites conveying it as news too.
Alot of that shit is just bait to get free advertising, to eventually sell you some shit
If the neo-nazis knew anything about Depeche, they would know how much they are hated by them.
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along
So awfully
Those lyrics - among many others - are aimed directly at the sort of intolerant scumbags that always seem to be festering in the right wing toilet of society, just as relevant today as it was in 1984 when the Some Great Reward album was released.
But they are neo nazis, they are hated by everyone already so how could they tell
To begin with, they would need to know the concept of consent to worry about being hated by them.
There are dozens(maybe, I don't keep a list) of alt-right bands and musicians they could choose from. Do you think their feelings are hurt whenever they're not picked? Oh right, nazis have no feelings. Fuck them.
I think the real goal here is to get artists to either support the glorious leader Trump or oppose him. Which is disturbing.
Then the answer is "oppose".
Richard Spencer and Vice President Donald Trump are cunts.
I agree, this was defiantly a calculated move to stir shit. If they wanted to have a legit event, they'd be making arrangements to have the band on site for a show.
Burzum: I'm a joke to you?
They should pick Pigface next.
That looked like a nasty elbow for a nasty guy.
The true People’s elbow
My only complaint is that it took 3 weeks
They were probably busy doing Depeche Mode things and didn't hear about it right away 🤷
Doing Depeche Mode things like Enjoying the Silence?
And searching for my Personal Jesus while Walking In My Shoes. Or Perhaps having a Black Celebration after traveling on Route 66/Behind The Wheel.
True, we too rarely get missives from the office of Depeche Mode.
Yeah we Just Can't Get Enough
Oh, quit it with your Blasphemous Rumours
Just hope they never let you down again.
Imagine if someone picked Joy Division.
