    Neonazis love Sabaton, despite Sabaton doing multiple press releases that say “fuck you Nazi scum aren’t welcome”. Same with Rammstein, people hear things about Germany and assume you’re on the side of the genocidal fascists.

      A fool once told me that Sabaton is a Nazi band because of their song “The Final Solution”

      Ever since it started
      On Kristallnacht '38
      When liberty died
      And truth was denied

      They said only Nazis call it Kristallnacht, because it sounds too poetic

        It’s a fallacy called cherry picking, picking something specific and ignoring context. One could easily cherry pick parts of other Sabaton songs as “defense” for nazis (Ghost Division) or even the soviets (Attero Dominatus)

        Now that I think about it, the history book I had during my high school called it Crystal Night, I guess because it sounds more memorable than “Pogrom Night”
