I appreciate context on that first part, and Ive always believed his story on his tattoo, being a “it was a tattoo shop pick and i was military. It looked cool.” I didnt know it was a nazi tattoo either.
On his race, may e i havent been clear but id pick this guy every time. I wish he didnt have his baggage but ill take what i can get
He was def. my choice over Mills. There was a guy named Tucker that was also running, he seemed good, no baggage I know of, but he didn’t seem to get any traction.
I only knew it was specifically a Nazi symbol because of Death In June. Back when I lived in Chicago, the were doing a show in the city, and a number of people I knew were excited to see them. A lot of other people I knew were trying to tell those people that DIG was explicitly pro-fascist. I asked why they said that, and oof… Apparently DIG uses the totenkopf in cover art, AND collaborated for a long time with Boyd Rice, who is very well known for his strong fascist stances. That was, I dunno, something like 2010? I’d definitely been interested in Nazi shit, reading a lot about WWII, but the totenkopf in particular wasn’t something that I’d recognized as being explicitly a Nazi symbol. So, yeah, his story seems plausible to me. I know a lot of people said that the cover-up was Fenris, and therefore he was using Norse imagery which is ALSO fascist, but I found an interview with the tattoo artist, and she said she was using Celtic imagery. Soooooo…
