Antifa’s heart may be in the right place, sort of, but they’re definitely not doing the left any favors right now. First, they shut down a concert in Canada via means of non-peaceful protest, rendering black the pot and the kettle alike. Now Nergal from Behemoth has come under attack from the group… for what is really the dumbest possible reason. As Nergal himself notes…

Well, well, well… I have a tendency to bash right winged idiots for being… idiots… but this is BEYOND stupid. I see there’s plenty of brainless people on the left side of the barricade as well😘 And now kids… WHY a musician is wearing an SS uniform? Investigate and be surprised😜 A photo posted by Adam Nergal Darski (@nergal69) on Dec 2, 2016 at 6:46am PST

This photo, in case you’ve forgotten, was taken while Nergal was playing a Nazi in a 2013 German film called AmbaSSada (EmbaSSy). So he had, y’know, a really good reason to be wearing that uniform. I dunno if Antifa is poorly informed or against the portrayal of fascists in media altogether, but I guess we’ll find out if they start protesting Christoph Waltz’s Oscar win for playing Hans Landa in Inglorious Basterds.
