* It was mysterious in the late ’80s – in 2017 a translation is a quick google search away. Also learned that the “I want to tell you my side of the case” sample from some Policy of Truth remixes is Nixon.

Depeche Mode as a right-wing fascist band? What sort of definition are they using for that, here? “Anything not overtly Communist or praising Communism is fascist and right-wing…”?

Swear to God, every time I start to think these people aren’t nuts, there comes along something that just doubles, or in this case, quadruples down on the previous stupidity. All the years I listened to Depeche Mode, and read about them, and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of something so outlandish as this. They are, as far as I know, just a pop band. A good one, but still… Just a band. Fascist? Right-wing? WTF? Are they going to be re-interpreting ABBA as a bunch of neo-Nazis, next? There is that whole “Waterloo” thing–They must be imperialists, obviously…

Dear God, but these people are f**king insane.
