“The Democratic party has gone so far to the left that people just can’t relate to it anymore and the Republican party is trying to go totally to the right.” — Glenn Danzig

As much as I love their music. Glen Danzig has never been one of the world's great thinkers.

He had a black sun on one of his latest tour t-shirts so...

A lot of people in my friend group were very disappointed that he even managed to go below his very own extra low bar.. this was the last straw

I don;t know about your friends but I had the glum task of removing a Misfits patch from my battle jacket when I found that out :(

For anyone, like me, who doesn't know about the meaning of the Black Sun

God damnit! In my teens I was pretty hard into a drum-n-bass band called "black sun empire". I feel violated now :(

The Anti-Defamation League notes that though the symbol is popular with white supremacists, imagery resembling the black sun features in many cultures, and that such imagery should always be analyzed in the context in which it appears, as it may not necessarily be intended to serve as a symbol of white supremacy or racism.

i just googled it. Apparently they're just really into star wars, and didn't realize about the Nazi symbol until it was too late.

And it's a damn shame too, because it's a very cool looking symbol. Stupid Nazis ruin everything. >:(

There needs to be some kind of push to take back a lot of symbols from them. There is no reason Norse symbols should still be associated with the worst people ever. There is no saving the swastika however.

Indian cultures would like a word about saving the swastika. I know a few folks who happily have it due to their 'claim of prior art' (or whatever the term is).

no saving it in the western world*
