I think if you were to actually dig deep enough, you would see that many of the racist, pro-Nazi groups these fools belong to are actually controlled unknowingly at the top by people with ties to other organizations, like the ADL (a wing of British-Israeli intelligence), who use these gullible people as an example to say "Oh, look at how hateful these people are. We need to pass more hate crime legislation." This hate crime legislation is then used to stomp out free speech by making anyone who questions even the State of Israel as being an "anti-Semite," who can then be charged and thrown in jail simply for saying something that is deemed politically incorrect. If people want to be hateful and preach hate, that is THEIR CHOICE! It's called free speech, and that's free speech for everyone, regardless if you agree with it or not! Of course I don't agree with them, but they have every right to assemble and say what they want, as long as they aren't inciting violence.
If these gatherings make you feel big, and more powerful, what can I say, you probably need to attend. Make sure you take your gun with you, hey you aren't anything without it anyway are you?
Of course they have the right to there own beliefs, and the right to gather and use there right to free speech. But those of us who oppose what they are saying, also have the right to speak aloud about how we feel about those beliefs. It works both ways. I would rather express my beliefs out loud than to keep quiet about what I see as hatred.
Saturday, August 11, 2007 Allentown, Pennsylvania - White power concert in central Pennsylvania organized by Keystone State Skinheads I'M GOIN!!
Empowering White People is a good thing. The more powerful people the better, no matter who they are. Hating non-white people is bad. There is too much hate in the world. Fearing non-white people is foolish. There is so much fear in the world because getting you to fear others is an easy way to control you. God bless everyone, no exceptions.
I think some League of South members have ties to racism based groups, and that's why the anti-rasisct people monitor them. That and hate groups are usually recruiting there. It's an unfortunately easy step from pride in you to "eliminate them." I would speak to PR's post, but I cannot speak to brainwashing and conspiracy theories. Mike, white pride is the racist side. Being proud to be Irish, German, Scottish, Italian, Greek or whatever is true happiness in who you are. the reason you see Black Power is we took the regional identites away from the enslaved. I know the Ethiopian community is into pride in their own lineage over a amorphous "black pride," as are the local Nigerians and Sudanese. And a dose of that might keep these kids out of gangs that ultimately get them nowhere, but I digress.
Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers individual and other societal interests subordinate to the needs of the state, and seeks to forge a type of national unity, usually based on, but not limited to, ethnic, cultural, or racial attributes. White supremacy is a racist paradigm based on the assertion that white people are superior to other races. The term is sometimes used specifically to describe a political ideology that advocates social and political dominance for whites. Neo-Nazism (literally new Nazism) is the ideology of post-WW2 political movements seeking to revive Nazism. The exact ideals adopted by neo-Nazi movements differ, but they often include allegiance to Adolf Hitler, Antisemitism, racism, xenophobia towards non-whites, nationalism, white supremacy, militarism, and homophobia (Copied and pasted from Wickopedia) So, correct, although a handful of these groups may have fascist leanings, most are more Nazi or racial supremacists.
The issue of race has become a source of controversy and dispute within the LoS. LoS President Michael Hill has argued for the centrality of Christian white men in the movement: "But let us never deny (for the sake of pleasing the implacable Cultural Marxists) that we, the descendants of white, European Christians, are central to a movement to preserve and advance a particular civilization, cultural inheritance, and physical place." Hill has also advocated the ideology of kinism, and would outlaw racial intermarriage and non-white immigration, expel all “aliens” (including Jews and Arabs), limit the right to vote to white landowning males over the age of twenty-one, and re-institute black slavery. The Virginia LOS Board of Directors advocated kinism as part of its official ideology in 2001. Hill denies charges of racism, naming two black men "who have proven that they belong within our movement." (Copied and pasted from Wickopedia) Sounds kinda racist to me.
Explain what you mean by "Empowering White People is a good thing. The more powerful people the better, no matter who they are." Do you think the world would be a better place if only one race or ethnic group were in charge of everything?
Hopefully not misinterpreting, I think he was talking about personal empowerment as opposed to political empowerment.
Too bad that Hammerfest seems to be only about RAC and no national socialist black metal. I love me some NSBM, but RAC is just shit.
"Empowering White People" meant empowering people as individuals. People may be members of groups ("white", "mormon", "vegetarian", "homeowner"), but which groups they belong to should not determine whether or not they have power as individuals. While disagreeing with the OP (or my perception of their position) I wanted to do so by expanding on their slogan (OK, twisting it into the opposite meaning) rather than rejecting them entirely. As DM pointed out, pride in one's ancestry should lead those of us of European decent to more specificity than "white". (No, ancestral pride doesn't mean that I have to eat lutefisk.)
