DANZIG’s New Merch Uses A Racist Symbol, Right Wing Extremists Are Thrilled

Danzig is at the moment taking part in a handful of West Coast exhibits and for no matter purpose, his merch line is kinda racist.

Quite a few Danzig followers have identified Danzig‘s use of the Sonnenrad – or Sunwheel, or Black Solar – on t-shirts and posters obtainable at his exhibits. To cite the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) concerning the image, it is “certainly one of a lot of historic European symbols appropriated by the Nazis of their try to invent an idealized ‘Aryan/Norse’ heritage.”

And yeah I do know, the Sunwheel pre-dates the Nazis and was appropriated for a shitty use. But it surely’s the identical factor as carrying a swastika and attempting to say it is really an historic spiritual image – everyone knows what you are attempting to do right here.

Danzig hasn’t commented on the difficulty but, and perhaps he did not know? Who is aware of who accredited this, however nonetheless – it is not precisely a very good look, and apparently the acute proper wing racists are already welcoming him as one of their own. So if Danzig really did not imply this, he would possibly wanna get on commenting concerning the state of affairs like… now. And if he really did imply it, then that is a complete separate article with some very stronly worded language.
