A hugely popular right-wing Croatian singer and hundreds of thousands of his fans performed a pro-Nazi World War II salute at a massive concert in Zagreb, drawing criticism.

One of Marko Perkovic’s most popular songs, played in the late Saturday concert, starts with the dreaded “For the homeland — Ready!” salute, used by Croatia’s Nazi-era puppet Ustasha regime that ran concentration camps at the time.

Perkovic, whose stage name is Thompson after a U.S.-made machine gun, had previously said both the song and the salute focus on the 1991-95 ethnic war in Croatia, in which he fought using the American firearm, after the country declared independence from the former Yugoslavia. He says his controversial song is “a witness of an era.”

Hey, be wary of a ban in case you dehumanize Nazis in some Lemmy communities.

How is a "pro-Nazi salute" different from a "Nazi salute"?

It's an ustaše salute, they were buddies with Nazis.

Good point, but unless the ustashe independently invented it, I'd consider it a Nazi salute.

I've always wondered what the difference is between a "nazi sympathizer" and a nazi

[–] [email protected] 51 points 4 days ago

Maybe they're only a Nazi if they're a card-carrying member of the NSDAP, otherwise they're only a sparkling fascist.
