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.

[–] GuyFi@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] NeatoBuilds@mander.xyz 49 points 11 months ago

But they are neo nazis, they are hated by everyone already so how could they tell

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] puchaczyk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 11 months ago

To begin with, they would need to know the concept of consent to worry about being hated by them.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 57 points 11 months ago (2 children)

My only complaint is that it took 3 weeks

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 87 points 11 months ago (2 children)

They were probably busy doing Depeche Mode things and didn't hear about it right away 🤷

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 32 points 11 months ago (1 children)

True, we too rarely get missives from the office of Depeche Mode.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah we Just Can't Get Enough

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 9 points 11 months ago

Oh, quit it with your Blasphemous Rumours

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Doing Depeche Mode things like Enjoying the Silence?

[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Just hope they never let you down again.

Ah, good old Richard Spencer.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That looked like a nasty elbow for a nasty guy.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

The true People’s elbow

[–] Commiunism@beehaw.org 27 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 5 points 11 months ago

they usually misinterpret the meaning especially if it is used in a movie or they assume most agree with them

[–] Comrade_Spood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

Everything the far-right uses is stolen. Libertarian used to be synonymous with anarchist till they stole it. Hell they even went after anarchism directly when the invented the walking contraduction "anarcho-capitalism." Every neo-nazi symbol is some cultural symbol they stole. Stealing stuff so others can't use it is the far-right's favorite pass-time.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 13 points 11 months ago

Imagine if someone picked Joy Division.

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Burzum: I'm a joke to you?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

They should pick Pigface next.
