Is that some kind of white supremacist music group?

Eddy, do you really believe that CUM Quesa would watch something like that, and, if he did, would suddenly be turned into an anti-Semite? Do you believe that white supremacism is that persuasive?

We all know Eddy's life is a constant struggle to resist his white supremacist urges, as it is for every Scots-Irish oh god I can't even finish this idiocy.

Not everyone shares my inhibitions toward watching right wing media, and the ZBB (and the world more generally) does have a lot of right wingers on it. Sure, I imagined that CUM was joking, but it would not have surprised me at all if he were watching a fascist music video. Nor would it surprise me to hear about yet another far right band.

Here's a thought: bands/singers who don't have a political persuasion.

... rusanov, pthug and you come to mind?
okay, pthug hasn't shown any rightwing sentiment, just quite a bit of anti-left sentiment... same for you, methinks...
I dunno, the whole "right" vs "left" thing is just... it basically means if you're a socialdemocrat proglib or a conservative who hates commies. and that's a terrible dychoromy to use to describe the politics of people.

pthag is very much in the right-wing (remember the ZBB three-dimensional political compasses you analyzed?), but I don't think it extends to more than pthag, Nort, rusanov and äreo (and äreo doesn't even talk politics here, but gets channeled through Nort on the IRC). I'm not sure patiku is that much of a political person at all. (This doesn't rule out, of course, that four right wingers are too many for Eddy, even in a sea of otherwise liberals and socialists.)

Nort is more centrist IMO, in his place I'd put Bristel. Saturday, Patiku, and maybe Chagen could also fit (all defy categorization, however).

There should be a limit on how many quotes an individual can post per month.
