Agree. Upvoted for accurate and reasonable criticism of my statement. It doesn’t mean he was a nazi, and it has nothing to do with the fact that he was an amazing musician and performer, and from all accounts I have read, was active in engaging minorities in rock music. It’s just unusual for people who aren’t anthropologists or historians working with a preservation society to have a personal collection of artifacts from such a vile group. I worry that people who don’t know all the good Lemmy did will conclude that he was celebrating the nazis, and unfortunately there is not a lot of objective data left to confirm that he wasn’t glorifying them, and I think that sucks.

This is why I’m highly suspicious of anyone who is too interested in the American Civil War.

“Trick question, dickhead, Lemmy is God.”
We are the road crew!

No… Actually okay sure, said Constantine, moving the capital way over here to be closer to his Main Rival
Still… the guy had an entire room in his place dedicated to Nazi memorabilia 😬.
