fascism is an ideology that holds strong appeal for people other than straight white dudes, both historically and today. peoples' identity is an important thing about them but it isn't always the most important thing.

historically you need look no further than ernst rohm. of course, he was purged fairly early on but so were plenty of others

I mentioned Douglas Pearce because Death in June is a specific reference to the Night of the Long Knives. Some of these people fixate on that as when the dream died; fascism good but Hitler bad, we don't have to account for anything the Nazis actually did. It accords very well with that supremely elitist outsider power fantasy.

I admit I used to listen to too many podcasts from Zero Books and Dead Pundits and a few other people who were obsessed with the questions "Does Trump meet the dictionary definition of a fascist" and "What's wrong with the woke liberal left."

Guillotines?!? We don't need no stinking guillotines!

It probably boils down to fascism being initially about aesthetics.

If you are susceptible to the aesthetics of it, then the fact that you would be first or second against the wall likely doesn't even factor into the rational. See all the hispanic Trump voters.

There's also racism. Being extremely online and into mmos and poo poo I've met too many of these people, and it almost always boils down to that. And of course most LGBT groups are rightfully going to kick your racist rear end out, so the only people they can be with are the ones who agree with them on that. That they would be killed in the ideal world they espouse doesn't cross their minds, because what's important to them is being able to say the n word.

e: oh and for all the crossdressers it's even weirder, as there's an undercurrent of hatred for trans women among them. Their ideology is that it's better to be a crossdresser than trans, with trans people being at the bottom of the fascist totem pole.

The first person who comes to mind is Douglas Pearce of Death in June, who as far as I can tell is a genuine Strasserist. You reminded me of an old post in the industrial music thread which I think gives some insight into the mindset:

didn't DiJ and other artists from that scene originate in left wing politics before lurching hard right?

it's funny that Pearce seems to be the only one of those guys who is still fashy, Wakeford (who oddly enough was kicked out of DiJ for being too overtly fash in the 80s?) iirc said "yeah I was a dumbass back then and regret my involvement with the national front"

they told me
I was everything
people with gender dysphoria who hate themselves so they spend too much time on the internet, wind up on 4chan where they pick up loathsome ideas, and then the dysphoria gets to the point where they can no longer completely ignore it but now their sexuality is entwined with shame because they can't let go of the bigotries they've adopted, mostly racism but including homophobia or transphobia, so they'll always hate themselves

it's just fascists who happen to be trans / have GD. weird phenomenon

All I can add to that is that when you feel marginalized, it's easy to give into these superheroic power fantasies of the pure enlightened ones forcing the world to be better, which easily shades into Nazism. Nagle made way too much of these people, as if the most brokebrained people in tumblr fandoms comprise a movement. But they do exist; I dated one for years.

I think the thing with the death in June guys (and a lot of LGBT “magikal” cryptofash artists) is that they are coming to Mystical Nazisim as an outgrowth of BDSM style power dynamics. So many neofolk/ industrial artists obsession with oppression and martyrdom seems like an attempt to interpret history in the context of DOM and SUB and since they already believe in kooky magic bullshit they think they can sublimate this into a personal transcendence. So typical third way bullshit but coming from people who have though way too hard about human sexuality and mysticism and don’t want materialism butting in AT ALL.

I Think this actually applies “leftist” groups like Coil, Current 93, and throbbing gristle (all have collaborated with cryptofash artists) too as many of them focus on the individual tragedy of the bound and whipped martyr.

I'm still baffled by the fact that they all seem to pretend most fascists are what they appear to be in propaganda from the 30s-40s when they're trying to do thirst trap poo poo for the right, when in reality there's very very few attractive far-right people. I'm genuinely baffled by the ugliness of fascists since generic Republicans look about as good or bad as the average person is, but I have rarely seen an attractive alt-right/white nationalist/whatever the gently caress. Gavin McInnes has no chin, Matthew Heimbach looks like a human hedgehog, Richard Spencer is a pudgy boy with a dumbass Hitler hair-do, Nick Fuentes is a booger-eater and looks like the type of gamer who is only skinny by virtue of forgetting to eat when playing MMOs, and so on. It's like, gently caress, I'm not even claiming leftists or liberals are somehow more beautiful on average, I just feel like the people who have little going for them but the color of their skin join up with these right wing movements and there's a good chance that "little going for them" also includes personal beauty or willingness to groom themselves well or diet.

Current 93 has also worked with members from Crass, the prototypical anarcho-punk feminist anti-capitalist anti-fascist etc. group, so I figure Tibet just doesn't care too much aside from how it lets him experiment.

Members of crass also worked with the nazi guy from death in June. I’m just saying that that whole scene was made of posers obsessed with the aesthetics of marginalized “elite” ideologies and mystical poo poo and “real politics” a distant afterthought.

Crass also published conflict on their label and the guy also went fash in short order.

There was more radical left wing energy in lunkhead groups like Discharge and Motörhead than the entirety of the Anarcho-punk scene which was by and for rich kids with a fetish for lecturing the peasants.

I don't disagree.

Especially regarding Motörhead and basically all the dis* bands.

Another fun example of an anarcho punk who turned hard right is Rob Miller from Amebix and Tau Cross. Started out hardcore anarchist, no borders, no gods, no masters, to now being all "it's the Jews!" and spreading various conspiracy theories.

That article brought it up but the good news about neofolk and industrial bands is you don’t need to worry about them since they only appeal to wimpy liberal new-age nerds who like to pose as transgressive, while the real violent right wing power of the country is broadcast every day on its most popular news channel.

So I don’t think you really need to self-crit too hard about enjoying a skinny British guy moan about ruins.
