I think this is what's known as "whataboutery". It's good that The Black Dog have taken a principled stand against fascist influences seeping into techno and electronic music. Perhaps they could do more to criticise other things, but it's a breath of fresh air seeing someone criticise something in that scene rather than being backslappy or aloof.
That wasn't my point though mate.
It's as if there's some kind of stepping stone where we're like, oops, an artist has gone too far. And thats what distresses me, because you can be a Randian libertarian and not get any shit for it, but as soon as you're fash, the liberals start hunting you down like they've just discovered marxism for the very first time.
Can you see why as a person of colour and an ostracised communist to boot I'm less concerned about this on an individual level than some others may be?
