    the audacity

    The journalist customer also argued that these are “legal CDs” ordered legally from a registered music publisher. According to him, if a crime were committed, it was by those who hacked into Midgård’s database and then, “with a stigmatizing intent,” compiled a searchable list of customers with names, addresses and phone numbers. “To list people openly, threateningly, on the basis of their supposed political views is no longer a matter of taste, and, in fact, to me, this seems to be fascism,” the avid customer of Nazi music added.

      In case anyone needs the clarification, facism is not about exposing who thinks what. Facism is about extermination of the opposition, and minorities. And, one huge point against facism is that they can stop being bigots. Meanwhile, minorities that would suffer from a facist regime have no real option to stop having a skin color, religion, or sexual orientation.

      That’s the whole point about exposing these “customers”. To make them feel shame (or threatened, if that works) so they disengage any political actions. It’s about disjointing fascist activities and the danger they pose to society.

        this works because nazis worship power, and when shown to be weak they tend to have doubts or otherwise fail sometimes in hilarious ways

      …so in effect, he should be all for it? I see no problem here.

      I feel you, that site was the most annoying way to present an article.

      Use the reader view of your browser, it makes for a much nicer experience.

        I wish it had been more obvious that there was real text underneath the annoying swaying, so that read mode would have been a logical choice from the beginning.
