Throw in Bowie's flippant comments about Nazis and English punks' easy use of the swastika, the 70s music scene had some … curious … tolerance.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
There's an argument albeit a very poor one that the idea of demystifying the symbolism was where punk was coming from. The shock tactic though was a failed example of things not really being thought through.Sparky wrote: ↑19 Jan 2022, 1:11pmSiouxsie and the Banshees as well for "shock value".Marky Dread wrote: ↑19 Jan 2022, 1:03pm"English punks" let's not forget The Stooges, New York Dolls and the Dead Boys use of the swastika.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑19 Jan 2022, 12:53pm

The only other point I want to make is how tv, film and other media makes you desensitized to the evil reality and the pain that others feel towards the symbol. But no excuses are acceptable.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Very much agreed. Apart from seemingly advocating for Nazism (especially awful when there were NF assholes who didn't see that ironically or some kind of intellectual exercise), that kind of demystifying risks being stupidly nihilistic, where nothing means anything, good or bad. It's just dumb reactionary behaviour.Marky Dread wrote: ↑19 Jan 2022, 1:36pmThere's an argument albeit a very poor one that the idea of demystifying the symbolism was where punk was coming from.

Yeah, you look at movies and tv in the 60s and 70s and the stripping away of profound evil in Nazism is galling. Hogan's Heroes, for example, makes Nazis a bunch of bumbling imbeciles. Sure, it's a sitcom, but maybe that's just wrong?The only other point I want to make is how tv, film and other media makes you desensitized to the evil reality and the pain that others feel towards the symbol.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Yeesh. I know Mel Brooks has argued that making fun of Hitler is to deny his power after his death, and I can appreciate the intent, but it only works if you properly understand the reality first. When you have successive generations, born after the war, growing up with a steady diet of bumbling Nazis, it becomes not demystifying via mockery but the superficial replacing the reality. When, say, anti-vaxxers blithely compare themselves to Jews in the 30s and 40s, I can't believe they make the comparison from a serious understanding of the Holocaust; it comes from superficiality.
