Nazis fucking love the band, despite the extremely anti-nazi/fascist lyrics. There's probably some kind of irony laced dog whistle among them.

iirc some love also comes from the columbine shooters being fans. It is all just dumb references all the way down.

It's actually very common for modern fascists to intentionally hijack leftist/anti-fascist bands like that, there are many examples. Those types were socialized on 4Chan, everything they do has 6 layers of irony and they steal everything with the right "vibe" regardless of content.

Even their own propaganda only consists of empty aesthetics, all spectacle without substance. So it all works out for them. There are fascists out there who will blast Killing in the Name of by RATM and just pretend it's made for them, going "Yes, we love killing, we're the chosen whites!"

Tbh most people dont listen to lyrics and it wouldnt suprise me if nazis are just incredibly fucking stupid. Which imo would track. Most ethnosupremicists seem incredibly stupid.

To be fair most of the lyrics are just like "KMFDM is rad, KMFDM is cool"

Also "KMFDM sucks, we're completely inane" is a common theme in their lyrics.

"Whatever we tell you is meant to be crap, we hate all music and especially rap"

"Our music is simple - totally fake. It's done by machines 'cause they don't make mistakes."

Which feeds well into "KMFDM is a drug against war"

The Columbine killers liked the band. It’s a call back to them. Other similar nihilistic killers who idolize school shooters also have used KMFDM as a signifier www.cnn.com/2024/12/21/u...

Which is a shame as KMFDM is a great band with a strong anti-fascist anti-war anti-violence stance.

I was really confused by the KMFDM thing too but then looked it up and saw the columbine thing and it tracks. Eeesh

Especially as they have some German language songs. Rammstein got it way worse because of that.

I mean when rage against the machine supported "woke" things most Republicans got mad. So I'm not surprised.

"I love when they play this song on veterans day parades" The song: fortunate son.

"This song gets me so hyped 🇺🇲" The song, my brother in C'thulhu, is literally Killing in the Name Of (Renegades of Funk was a close second tho~)

I mean Trump went to Les Mis and didn’t know who the hero of the play was so your not wrong on nazis being idiots.

Dude trump being a musical enjoyer is the weirdest thing to me. Im convinced its just because its a NY thing and somehow also classist (despite being pretty available to the public) in a way that sports ball isnt. I cant wrap my head around it.

Nazis used to love Slayer despite half the band being non-white.

Nazis have no media literacy because a prerequisite for being a Nazi is extreme stupidity.

Dude. They just like the edgy songs like "Free your hate."
