Heavy Metal apparently makes you a nazi

in blog •  7 years ago 

Anyone remember the '90s? Remember the religious fanatics always arguing that rock music and video games make mass murderers out of people? We might have thought that that kind of thinking was debunked with all the studies proving the opposite. But apparently classical religious zealotry has been replaced by far left zealotry.

Canadian Calgary police department put out some bullet points.

Let's see now, a teenager not interested in school? Who ever heard of such a thing? Surely they must be nazis. And they also make friends and stay up late? No way! They must be planning how to make and manage concentration camps, surely!
They're disobedient and sometimes hostile to parents? Oh, no! Who ever heard of a child rebelling against their parents! And doodling?! The horror! Obvious signs of being a nazi sympathiser! Graffiti is apparently nazi propaganda now.
And they also listen to heavy metal? Surely their fascists! Nevermind the fact that actual nazis loved Wagner. And kids changing their appearance? All those punks and emo kids are surely the new Hitler youth!

The image is from this aricle, if you wish to read it in its entirety. The only valid point is the one where they don't consider groups of people human. Otherwise this is just ridiculous. I'm no metal fan, but what the actual fuck? Listening to Metallica or changing your appearance (that's not vague at all) doesn't mean that that kid is some monster. Also, the iron cross is a symbol of german monarchy, not nazism. And military paraphernalia... so every soldier, active or retired, or the actors in theatres and cinemas in the world are apparently fascists now. This isn't, to use their words, stereotyping and scape-goating groups, such as metalheads, graffiti artists, and ... pretty much all teenagers at all.

What a load of shit.
Violence or secretive behavior, either or. Basically the same thing.
Rudeness, disobedience, hostility towards parents, changing behavior, interest in loud music, developing friends and staying out late, shockingly unconventional behaviors for a teenager.

I'll not give them credit for pointing out that if your kid is walking around wearing surplus nazi garb, heiling, and shouting slurs at minorities, they might have an issue beyond just being a dumbass teenager, might.

Absurd garbage written by either a complete idiot, or a fucking shill.

Precisely! Most of the behaviour there is just normal teenagers being normal teenagers. And even being fully racist and stuff is still generally normal, as all teenagers wanna be edgy. That generally means that it's just them acting out, not an actual belief they might hold.

What morons... as in really... this is not normal to worry all the parents in Canada that their kid might be a Nazy or a radical dude... people should remember the 60's, and chill some more...

Those bullet points are just retarded. They describe 99.99% of all teenagers.
