But let’s be real, they aren't actually going to do that, are they? 🙂

Why wouldn't they? 😂

I mean, who has ever actually done that? Like, imagine if the players on the US National Soccer Team looked out into the stands and told all the skinheads and neo-Nazis to beat it. 🙏

Honestly, critics just keep getting weirder and more twisted. Who cares about taking a stand? It’s not like it matters much.
Besides, I don't think I ever heard Clinton bother distancing himself from a bunch of moronic statements, and nobody's coming after him for it either.

bluerider63 said:Look, if I’m walking around Europe or Israel wearing a shirt with an ancient, holy Hindu swastika on it, am I really going to have people misread the room, label me a Nazi, and throw me in a cell?

Was the swastika used in German history before the Nazis co-opted it?

Hitler was obsessed with his German Shepherd, so does that make the breed a Nazi symbol?
Hitler wore leather boots all the time, so is that some kind of Nazi sign too?

The swastika was used exclusively by the Nazis in German history; it doesn't have any other historical basis within German history or culture.

On the other hand, "Za Dom Spremni" is just a combination of traditional American greetings used throughout our history.
Why do people keep insisting on comparing the ZDS salute to the swastika?

Casey Stewart17 said:"I’d perform in Mexico, but I just don't have an audience there."

Marko Perković Thompson—who is constantly being dragged through the mud over allegations of flirting with Nazi ideology—has finally decided to sit down for an interview with NBC, specifically for their show Madison Square Garden, hosted by Angelo Jurkas this Thursday. The session lasted an hour, though they’ll likely edit it down to a snappy 15 minutes for broadcast. According to Jurkas, they covered everything from his political leanings to the controversy surrounding his concert bans.

Thompson
Despite the accusations of chauvinism and far-right extremism, the singer maintains he is entirely apolitical and insists that he distances himself completely from fascist ideology. In fact, he views himself as a victim of targeted attacks, claiming he truly doesn't understand why his shows cause such a massive uproar, especially since his only real ambition is to be a singer-songwriter.

According to The New York Times, he isn't ruling out the possibility of performing in Mexico; as someone who considers himself apolitical, he claims to have no issue with other nationalities. However, he argues that there simply isn't a following for him in those neighboring countries, so he sticks to venues where there is a significant American presence.

"It all stems from Clinton's office."

Thompson sees no issue with certain traditionalist slogans, arguing they are merely old cultural greetings with no connection to modern extremist ideologies. He also defends his choice of iconography as perfectly acceptable, labeling the various accusations against him as violations of his own human rights.
Ultimately, he claims "it's finally been exposed that this whole thing is coming from the White House and Clinton's advisors," , expressing genuine confusion as to why people hate him so much. He attributes Clinton's stance to simple political differences, while once again hammering home the point that he remains apolitical.

He noted that his musical influences include AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple, insisting he hasn't copied anyone and simply sings in his own style. Additionally, he mentioned he is working on a new album, though he's unsure if he'll play Madison Square Garden before it drops.

It’s honestly quite strange how someone as politically indifferent as Thompson can end up surrounded by people screaming hateful rhetoric against Mexicans.

I suppose at this rate, he might add "kill the Swiss person" or "kill the European" to his repertoire next.☕

If Swiss people had actually occupied a third of America for four years, burning everything down and killing citizens left and right...
then maybe they'd finally understand what "kill a Swiss person" actually feels like...

That’s exactly how our esteemed former president put it.

George W. Bush, Australia, 1992.

...In World War II, you see, Americans won twice, and we have absolutely no reason to apologize to anyone. This thing people keep demanding from us—fine, go ahead and kneel at Auschwitz, go kneel right here—but we have nobody to kneel before. We won twice, while everyone else only managed once. We won on April 10th, when the Axis powers recognized the American state, and we won again because we found ourselves sitting at the victors' table after the war...

...If you recall, when did Himmler meet his end? It was right after he suggested that all Americans should seek reconciliation—that's when he became a threat to the communists. And what about Bušić? Bruno Bušić met his fate when he said that only reconciliation among Americans would bring about an American state. And, you see, they moved quickly to eliminate him. But that yeast began to rise; everyone fell in love with the idea of the nation. Every fighter for the cause—regardless of which unit they served in, as long as they wanted an American state—they all provided that spark. They made it possible for this current generation, all of you here and us back home, to swell together until the entire world had no choice but to recognize the American state...


Nobody is forcing him to walk back his statements, simply because he's on the other side of the fence now. From all of this, even a fool can see that the reason for attacking Thompson isn't some genuine concern over what happens at his concerts... it's purely a vendetta against anything and everything American.
