It's sad. These could be good people if they had been raised with information rather than ignorance. At least, they might have been. And then they raise kids in these beliefs... just sad.

The lyrics were the 'best' part. Yeah, while your ancestors in Europe were living in mud huts, the Aztecs and Mayans had their temples and empires, the Chinese were building an empire that lasted until this century (and building palaces as well), the Indians were building huge stone statues, and over in Africa we've got some of the largest cave "paintings" in the world. Oh, and churches built deep into the ground, an architectural marvel if I ever saw one.

Mud huts. Pshaw.

The zyklon b reference bothered me a lot though. You don't joke about killing my family. I'm not okay with that.

The entire thing bothered me, but I'm trying to find a bright side. That happens to be "wow, these lyrics are stupid". Not much of a bright side, but the best I could do.

Yeah, I know. But I expected most of it... that just hit me more than most of it. But I shouldn't expect to like the opinions of people who would prefer I be dead.

It's the Irrational Appliance!

When he says "The founder of the organization wrote a whopper of a book that's an awesome detailed blueprint for race war and is credited with inspiring young Timothy McVeigh to bomb the Federal Building in Oklahoma City", that's kind've a giveaway for me personally.

[conuly]

Yeah, but he just doesn't want them to find him on a basic google search.

I'm not culturally literate on right-wing/white-power movements, so that wasn't a give away.

However, quoting William Pierce's musical aethetics does identify Keven and co. as members of the National Alliance. I just Googled the quote and found an article from the Christian Science Monitor.

Revisionism bothers me....

as found in this sentence: These adorable minxes take their band name, Prussian Blue, from the Zyklon B residue that Holocaust revisionists claim was not found in the "so-called gas chambers" in concentration camps and should make people question the inaccuracies of the "Holocaust myth."

We have two examples of revisionism here, one the "holocaust myth" revision of the group in question, and another one where the name of a blue pigment is saddled with the dire echoes of Auschwitz.

Sorry to break this to the guy, but Prussian Blue has been the name of a blue pigment (mined in Prussia, imagine that) for over a hundred and fifty years. It's kind of halfway between navy and royal blue. (I don't paint, so I don't know if it's still on the market, but I do remember reading references to it in Victorian writings that mentioned painting and oil paints.)

Yes, but why did they choose the name?

Thanks to somethingawful.com I found a message board of white supremacists. It was blatantly obvious the freakjobs only had paleness going for them. (And oddly enough, a good command of the English language, which is sad considering the non-racists who type like chickens are dying in their hands)
