They didn't realize that most of the metal scene has connection with the punk scene, and the punk scene is full of anarchists and anti-fascists. It's weird how much success they had with the country music scene.
Who would have thought that country music, which originated in the South, would be so receptive to white nationalism??
Pre-9/11 and Toby Keith a lot of country music was anti-establishment and anti-fascist.
Some, but for every Phil Ochs there was a Marty Robbins.
Or even outright anarchist.
I was gonna say, I don't think metal has a higher rate of nazis. You look at country and you basically have to accept they're all MAGAts (another reason to just avoid country). I think most people in metal are pretty progressive, that's why they're in metal. Honestly Dero Goi is a great example: he jumped down a conservative rabbit hole and left metal.
If anything, it's just that the nazis are always a vocal minority and when they're into metal it's some confirmation bias for close minded people who don't like metal.
