My guess is no…but that article was way too long and boring to find out for sure.

That's a worse offense, IMO.

Cannot really speak on much of this but tying a Death in June tattoo to Nazism is stupid.
Yeah he has used Nazi imagery in music/visual art but has also used imagery from everywhere else.

And let's be real…the Nazi Party had the very best graphic artists of any regime ever.  Period.

The Burzum buttons are more damning though.

Basically says that imagery is not reason enough to argue that someone is ideologically tied to something.

I tend to mostly agree. Still, they are meh.
Well the last record was OK but they sounded horrible live on WFMU which was my only live experience with them.

Not familiar with Absurd. More damning than a Death in June tattoo, though. Still, not anywhere near enough to come to conclusions the guy who wrote that first piece did.
