Their precious essences won’t be safe if they use a condom either, as those are usually lubricated with oestrogenic compounds.

Even if I could believe seven impossible things before breakfast, attributing demographic change to “replacement theory” while at the same time believing that heterosexual sex is gay and a danger to manliness is… well…

I’m sorry to circle back to this a day late but…have I got this right?
Eating out and fucking pussy makes the dudebros gay because of estrogen in the vage juice?
…
Ergo, licking balls and sucking dick must make the dudebros super macho!
Get to it, manly men! Start sucking that cock if you don’t want to be gay!
Perfectly logical!

I want my money back.
If I’m being forced to live in a world where people “think” this way, I want my money back. All of it. Every last fucking penny I’ve ever spent, I want it back.
NOW.

Calling them “Nationalist” sounds like cowardly weasel words to me, considering from the name alone at least one of these artists is a full-blown nazi

“Zyklon Boom?” Holy shit! Surely we are not so far removed in time that this is in any way acceptable? Good God, i feel sick!

Well yeah, no more “acceptable” than anything else that’s overtly white supremacist.
A look around for a bit showed me that the author of that book has done a lot of ethnographic research on white nationalism, often by embedding himself in their midst. He and others reacting to his work raise a lot of vexing questions about how to study white nationalist creativity, such as music, including whether even doing so is itself a bad idea, since it may well promulgate and legitmize such music, as well as the beliefs it expresses.

Nah, it’s in the book’s introduction

“The region—and Sweden in particular—gained international distinction during the 1990s as a global center for neo-Nazi skinhead culture and white power music.”

And @Docosc, yes, these are common terms used by white supremacist hatecore bands since the 70s. Even bands that aren’t explicitly fascist tend to play at the edges of this stuff - Death in June, for example.
Yeah, that’s a hard question that I don’t know the answer to… I think it’s something that we should understand as a subcultural phenomenon, but at the same time, is this just reinforcing it? What I do know is that the way to deal with them to stand up to them, run them out of town, and then sue their asses into the ground when possible.

These events also get a mention in this skinhead documentary, as some of the Baldies went to Portland to help out…
Racists co-opted skinhead culture (which grew out of working class British culture that was mixed race and interested in West Indies music) and went global during the 80s. There is a very long history of racists co-opting Black culture (much as white mainstream culture already did) and taking it to an extreme.

Yeah, though I can’t imagine an ethnomusicologist doing that.

Maybe some, but many academics (and journalists) always see their role as objective describing, not activism. Which is, to put it mildly, unfortunate… In the case of Portland, it was a combo of anti-racist skins, politically aware punks, and activists in both the immigrant community and in the LGBQT+ community that made the city unsafe for the white power crowd (ironically making it safe for later gentrification).

Yes, I think “scholar activist” should be a more common and proudly worn identity. And why not wear it, since objectivity doesn’t exist.

Exactly so! I do think that far too many people are invested in this kind of false idea of objectivity, in part because that means they can pass their ideology off as “facts”… That’s why I don’t trust history books that claim to be objective in some way… it’s just… not.

Indeed. Do you think it’s become more common for historians to both declare their biases and their reasoning for them? (I hope it has!)

I think so… but it probably depends on one’s field and adviser… I think in many ways, history tends towards conservativism (not necessarily politically, but more in terms of thinking traditionally, if you see what I mean), and there are still lots of great men type historians in the field, who tend to get the lion’s share of attention by the general public (presidential historians, war historians, political historians, etc). But it’s hard to dismiss the influence of folks like Zinn these days. Lots of departments have people doing bottom-up history, and looking at all sorts of interesting things you might not expect. Of course, not all of them are getting jobs once they’re done with their phds, but…
