DANZIG’s New Merch Makes use of A Racist Image, Proper Wing Extremists Are Thrilled

Danzig is at the moment taking part in a handful of West Coast reveals and for no matter motive, 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 reveals. To cite the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in regards to the image, it is “considered one of quite a few historic European symbols appropriated by the Nazis of their try and invent an idealized ‘Aryan/Norse’ heritage.”

And yeah I do know, the Sunwheel pre-dates the Nazis and was appropriated for a shitty use. However it’s the identical factor as sporting a swastika and making an attempt to say it is really an historic non secular image – everyone knows what you are making an attempt to do right here.

Danzig hasn’t commented on the problem but, and perhaps he did not know? Who is aware of who accredited this, however nonetheless – it isn’t precisely a great look, and apparently the acute proper wing racists are already welcoming him as considered one of their very own. So if Danzig really did not imply this, he may wanna get on commenting in regards to the scenario like… now. And if he really did imply it, then that is an entire separate article with some very stronly worded language.
