For a right cack, please see the official PYL response to the NDT article on their website.
Apparently it is I who is the “racist fascist”.
Strange, you’ll notice in their headlining article they have a link to Counter Culture Music, a neo-Nazi record label and distributor. You’ll also notice this prediction:
Soon the Newcastle foreshore will be packed with lowered utes with chrome rims and awesome stereos pumping out Fortress.
Who are Fortress? Why, they’re only Australia’s most prominent neo-Nazi skinhead band. See for yourself.
Oh, but the PYL isn’t racist, nor are they neo-Nazis, they just can’t wait for the Newcastle foreshore to be packed with lowered utes pumping out music by the band you see above.
Update
Hahahaha! There has been a very amusing “whoopsy-daisy” moment over at the official PYL site. They have just removed all references to neo-Nazi band Fortress. Apparently the “sneaky and clever opposition to freedom [ie, Fight dem back!] have become aware of some Australian bands fascination with neo-Nazism in the past.”
It’s not like I suddenly became aware of Fortress. Anyone who keeps an eye on the activities of the lunar right is up to speed on who the main players are. Hell, I played footy with a guy who went on to be their drummer for a while (he was weak as piss and couldn’t tackle). The only reason I left it alone for so long is because I was happy to watch the PYL deny the fact that they are a neo-Nazi organisation whilst they openly endorsed a neo-Nazi band on their site.
And what do they mean by “in the past”? Check out the latest Fortress release. Looks like the standard “Die Jew, Die Nigger” stuff that they’re famous for.
Removing any references to neo-Nazi bands from their site is pointless. here is the google cache where it will live for a while longer, and there are other copies around the traps.
Time for an interactive element
I am holding a design competition. All you HTML and Photoshop geeks get cracking on a link button for the PYL that will trace back to the Google cache version of their site. Maybe a dual button with links to that swastika-laden picture of Fortress as well. The idea being to make the connection between the PYL and neo-Nazism blatantly obvious. Well, it’s bleedingly obvious to anyone who has spent five minutes researching them online, but let’s try and save people that valuable five minutes huh?
