Yes. I would like to think he was a product of the toxic masculinity culture, especially due to his time in the prison. It is a shame that while he was being radical on one front, he managed to dehumanize people who should have been his allies.

Haha. I tend to mix time in my head sometimes. My age is showing!

Most punk like Bad Religion, Dead Kennedys, Anti Flag, Black Flag, The Clash, Dropkick Murphys has been very political from the start.

I know they are older now but Dead Prez, Foo Fighters, Rise Against and System of a Down are still active. Then there is the much older Roger Waters who has been very political throughout his career. And let’s not forget the legendary Los Tigres Del Norte.

But coming back to younger artists

• Killer Mike
• Kendrik Lamar
• Childish Gambino
• Anderson.Paak
• Bambu
• Andrew Jackson Jihad
• Feminazgul
• Lowkey (British rapper)

That guy is a Hardcore Zionist. He released a song with his band last year called October in Europe where they had texts like:

Since 07.10. I no longer want to seek the conversation
Surprise: Even Greta hates Jews
Back then, the perpetrators were gone in no time
Today, the greatest anti-Semites are
All anti-racists, against hate and for peace
…
It was supposed to be “Never again powerlessness”
October is coming to Europe

To add to the discussion, watch out for bands getting banned all the time. The British rapper Lowkey, for example, has some hard-hitting lyrics and beautiful melodies. Very political, too!

You’re right, but being afraid of radicalization is not the same as being xenophobic/racist. The fact that this guy supported the AfD is a key piece of information in my opinion.

Since the article does not mention it at all, the person in question was following and sharing racist rhetoric online - posts from AfD and Elon Musk, for example. He feared an “Islamization” of Germany and seemed to be very angry about it.

It is an important observation to report on, especially because people would assume him to be a racial stereotype that he is not. It is also responsible to include the details given that so much about him has already been shared online.

Zuletzt klingen seine Postings, von denen er zahlreiche jeden Tag absetzt, immer wütender. Er befürchtet eine Islamisierung Deutschlands und teilt unter anderem Inhalte von rechtsideologischen Accounts – darunter AfD-Chefin Alice Weidel und X-Besitzer Elon Musk.
