Resistance has been around for years. They used to send be demos in the mid-90s when I was reviewing material in my newsletter.
In the last 5-6 years, they’ve gotten a lot better at marketing. But as I always say, it’s easy to sell hate.
While the “softer” acts like Prussian Blue are disturbing, music is used to recruit people and spread beliefs all the time. I don’t see it as any different than Toby Keith or Carman.
I’m glad it exists and I’m glad it’s in the open like this because I think it’s a great way to bring up the issues behind it and deal with them. We can’t just pretend these things don’t exist.
