And you claim Trump is a misogyinistic pig?

I never claimed that.

I would never vote for anyone either of you support.

Too late, you already did.

Fake progressives.

Wrong again.

Three for three. Well done madam.

Is there any limit to free speech? If someone made a song that was "Kill puppies, kill puppies, beat babies, kill kittens!!!" over and over.. is that an ok freedom of speech thing? Is there any level of common sense? I personally endorse free speech, but I don't think hate speech should be free speech.

You are silly enough to ACTUALLY think that makes any difference to well military trained head bangers?
WE use OUR tunes to torture BAD guys...TO US it's a concert,weak ass bad guys any way...

Neither Hellhammer nor Emperor (maybe one of their members did) burned churches. You're thinking of Mayhem, specifically Varg Vikernes.

While Mayhem and Varg are in that vein, there's actually a whole subgenre of specifically National Socialist Black Metal

en.wikipedia.org...

unironically, it's not very diverse - Wikipedia only lists 8 artists.

I don't know if he actually promotes his views through his music, but I've never listened to him.

So what exactly is being banned, what qualifies as neo nazi music exactly ?

Soon, all music that is not rap. All other music has too much whiteness. Even the R&B classics will be labeled as Uncle Toms who were playing for their white mastas.

Yes, this is an accurate account of George Soros' plan

I get that, still doesn't clear up what music is being banned.

According to Hitler, it was this persecution that made them stronger.

Strange, didn't have that effect with communists in the US. (or anarchist or socialist) Furthermore, no laws have been passed to ban neo-Nazi music — a privately owned music streaming service decided to exclude content.

Frankly, I'm surprised that neo-Nazi music was on Spotify to begin with. I'm sure they have some sort of decency standards. If there's such a thing as pedophile music, should Spotify be compelled to provide that for streaming lest they face specious allegations of facilitating pedophilia? How about if a serial killer makes songs out of the death gurgles of his victims? Or how about live recordings of rape?

Could it be that right-wingers simply don't see neo-Nazi rhetoric as indecent? "Kill Jews" is worth trotting out the histrionics over but "Rape all the kids" not so much?

I know I watched months of unhinged behavior at the mere SUGGESTION that pedophiles might be lurking in pizzerias but several hundred hostile, armed, neo-Nazis actually descended on a small town, beat up some locals and eventually killed one, and it's all, "everyone's equally at a fault here."

Funneling two belligerent groups into each other that are armed with blunt instruments must be the local Democrats way of avoiding conflict, either that or their tactics were ordered and carried out to ensure violence. Just like a bar fight there is always some percentage of hotheads who can't take a punch and either goes to his car for a gun or gets in and tries running down someone. It's not hard stuff, simple human psychology and the law of averages. Now when you factor in the local police actions, the political stance of the Mayor and police chief, we clearly see who the home team was in Charlottesville.

This is no different than the tactics of Democrat operatives outside of Trump rallies where they instigate physical violence and let nature take over from there, all manufactured for political gain and they were caught red handed doing it.

Whoever was the Left's political operatives in Charlottesville did a hell of a number there, bussing in the fighters, getting the local officials to funnel them into each other, standing off and letting the violence ebb and flow. They didn't know how it would happen but they knew how to get the odds in their favor of it happening. Then they struck political gold, a dead woman protesting Nazis. Man, did they run with it, no shame either. No demands for explaining policing procedures down to every minutia of detail like in Ferguson. The News never asked a thing just went straight into blame Trump, and he didn't even have anything to do with it.

I'm not going to list or post neo-nazi music. I just recently found out the stuff exists when I was learning who Richard Spencer is.

Mostly the modern music focuses on the concepts of "white genocide", European pride, the 14 words, all that garbage they like... I got the impression listening to most of it that it was made by the "groomed" racist types. People that grew up in families and areas where it was just what they thought was right, brainwashed young.

At least I hope that's what it is because if not, *shudders*... As someone with a broad range of musical tastes, abilities and appreciations, I found it pretty sad.

*Should be unnecessary note: I am not saying I support or do not support the removal of such music. I'm still working out my feelings on this one. I'm legitimately conflicted by the situation. They have the right to make their music. Art should not be suppressed. The site-owners also have the right to pull the content they want to pull. As has been mentioned, there are other outlets for their expression. I don't know...

So just for fun I thought i'd see what other kinds of music was available on spotify that violates their terms:

Someone earlier mentioned the Misfits. Their music is fairly violent.

Bad Religion: incites violence against religion

NWA: pretty sure they violate all spotify's te terms

Johnny Ringo: reggae artist with a catchy tune about burning and stoning lesbians

Echo Minott: has a song encouraging domestic violence saying the police can do nothing to stop it.

Pretty much any dancehall reggae artist on spotify from the 80's-90's has at least some homophobic lyrics and a lot of reggae in general is fairly sexist.

Cypress Hill: inciting violence, homophobia

These were just a few I searched up off the top of my head. All this music is available on spotify and violates at least one of the terms of the agreement posted in the OP

How is Spotify removing Nazi music infringing their rights?

Christian book stores don't carry books on witchcraft. Is that infringing on my rights?

Wouldn't forcing Spotify to carry Nazi music be infringing on their rights?

Instead of defending Nazi music, why not defend your non-regulation stance and defend Spotify's rights as a private business?

I presume you also took the same stance when the private business the christian bakery was forced to accept that they had to make cakes for gay people or when the Christian B&B owners were told that they HAD to accept gay people staying at their private business?

I presume you and everyone else using the "they're a private business and can deny anything to anyone they like for their own reasons" argument were also saying it was ok for the Christian businesses to refuse services to the gay community?

Just checking for consistency...

Spotify aren't banning white supremacists from being customers they are stopping buying white supremacists music.

They are also not basing this on who they are but on what they promote.

Finally if you think there is a moral equivalence between being gay and being a white supremacist then your moral compass is beyond repair.
