Yeah, that pair of Nazis Pearce and Wakeford, playing Rock Against Racism rallies and writing anti-nazi songs, whatever shall we do with them? Especially Pearce, writing all those songs about his same-sex relationships. What about that nasty Dave Tibet, who dedicated Hitler As Kalki to 'My Father, Who Fought the Nazis'.
The most politically objectionable World Serpent affiliate is Boyd Rice, and he's not a nazi, he's one of your campaign-for-human-extinction satanist/misanthropes. The easiest way by far to see that none of the original neo-folk bands have any real nazi sympathies is to compare it to actual nazi music. Do you reckon Jhonny Balance or Genesis P Orridge or all those other people would have been so in with all of them if they'd been a bed of nazis, or vice versa? Half of them are gay for fucks sake! I mean for fucks sake, is this a nazi song:
So, this is your life
This is your world
In a lullaby to a ghetto
Where you murder boys and girls
Ashes of a butterfly
On a blood-soaked wand
Painted, all decorated
Absent and missing
Like secret dreams
And, broken promises
Like all our dead
And thoroughbred
Let the absence of life begin
To form an ash
And diamond lake
Revisionist, rust-torn and red
Black sun baked
Frank eyes never lie
They weep and shine
With that emptiness
Feral inside them
That mirrors can't define
Don't look to God
He's turned away
Savaged by the smell
Of the first of seven days
So, this is your life
This is your world
In a lullaby to a ghetto
Where you murder boys and girls
No, it's not. The Nazis are a symbol, a metaphor a dark shadow for these people. I can't imagine anyone with half a brain coming on to nazism through listening to the lyrics of my favourite neo-folk bands. All this nazi crap arises from fucking stupid anti-nazi campaigners who can't be arsed to do research and echo the false assumptions of other fucking stupid anti-nazi campaigners, and I'm quite frankly sick of it. Especially as, because of it, there actually ARE now nazi neo-folk bands.
