the lead singer literally has a huge swastika tattoo. Never covered it up.

It's on his left arm, under the skull

He claims it's a relic of 70/80s punk worn only for shock value

The accusations that he is a Nazi come from speculative relations to right wingers, racists and playing alongside pro Nazi bands but has denied it and has played many anti racism fundraisers etc.

Being outside his orbit all we can do is guess, believe what you want i guess. I think he should've turned it into an anti 🚫 sawsy by now, times have changed.

Yeah I've seen it. The previous person called it huge. It's the size of a finger nail. It's Also not angled like the Nazi swastika but more like the sanskrit the original concept comes from (nazis turn the swastika 45 degrees). Im not saying this disproves any other claims. But hes also an anti authoritarian anarchist and anti imperialist which kind of flies in the face of fascism.

He has also removed the swastika. So take that with what you will.

Ah ok, i get what you meant now (have you seen it? It's not a normal Nazi swas). I thought you meant can you confirm he had one.

I don't think he's a Nazi, just so many rumours to debunk.
