I edited this for precision - his language is much too passive. NS = National Socialist. This is why I hate so called black metal along with the fact that it all sounds exactly the same. So I guess he has the same opinion if you replace "NS" with "Child rapist" or "wife beater" or whatever depraved smallminded bully shit the depraved "artists'" come up with. He has no morals or ethics at all. People think they are edgy or something listening to their "black metal", its a fucking nostalgia trip folks, death metal/black metal was done to death 20 years ago. Judd does not want to offend his customer base.
Nazi's are fucking religious filth that should be wiped off the map.
I don't understand Thurston's interest in this genre - maybe he is not quite the progressive we thought. Usually I don't bug him at shows but this is something I would actually like to hear from him. Why, T, why?

Today it seems like there’s less of a connection, at least for me and my label. We don’t oppose people’s right to be ‘NAZI’ or whatever—that’s a personal choice, and if you live in the USA, you have the right to that opinion. Even though I personally, my band(s) and my label have absolutely no interest in being a part of that scene, I will ALWAYS take their side when it comes to their freedom of speech being imposed upon.”
