Thousands of purveyors of neo-Nazi tunes just had their day ruined by a crew of enterprising Scandinavian anti-fascists.

Also, just to see if they have even the tiniest bit of plausible deniability, I checked out Midgard's shop. There's overtly white supremacist shit ALL OVER the place.

It's not like these people accidentally supported a band with reprehensible beliefs behind the scenes. It's not like a totally normal music shop turned out to be a front for white supremacists. There's note even any serious argument about "separating art from the artist." The leak includes what people bought, and you can tell when someone bought overtly white supremacist music. And even if they didn't, and the band or album name doesn't give anything away, what's it doing at the Nazi store? Why isn't it streaming, or on Bandcamp, or self-distributed? These customers still had to know there's an obscure Nazis music store, what it's called and where to find it, confirm that it's a Nazi store the moment they went there, and still give them money and their address to place a mail order. Oh, some of them aren't native English speakers? Then that just makes it even more damning that they did all this with a language barrier in place!

Plus, just look at the apologists in this thread. They're fucking cowards. They can't just come out with their beliefs, so they're just asking questions, deflecting from the topic. One is concern trolling for the fundamental humanity of literal Nazis, despite the fact that the main fucking problem with Nazis is that they considered marginalized groups subhuman. Where's the concern there? Why the focus on the people who oppose Nazis rather than the Nazis themselves? Another one could barely resist giving the game away by saying they've been called a Nazi before because of their anti-immigrant positions.

The people defending this shop and its customers aren't serious people. They're dishonest, cowardly, and stupid.
