This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Maybe a "Death in June" band shirt. Which makes things ... well... I dunno. Probably not better.

was not familiar with them....

from their wiki - had performed at rallies for The Right to Work, Rock Against Racism, and the Anti-Nazi League. -

holy shit this is a ride

"The Totenkopf-6 is a slightly grinning skull, framed by a circle and a small 6 in the lower right corner. Death in June has, since at least the State Laughter / Holy Water 7″, used variations of the Prussian Totenkopf or "Death's Head" symbol. Indeed, there is another explanation that has been given by Pearce, he has also stated that it symbolises "total commitment" to the group, akin to the total commitment of soldiers of the SS"

ah... getting to the shit that matters -

"The Southern Poverty Law Center considers Death in June to be white power music harboring neo-Nazi sympathies."

yeeeaah this all fits

I was a goth in my youth and they were among the more controversial bands. They could be just edge lords or Nazis. The guys that listened to them turned out to be Nazis, so there's that.

They could be just edge lords or Nazis.

I refuse to make a distinction anymore. If you "joke" about being a Nazi, you're a Nazi.

I used to think the nazi edgelord stuff was kind of funny, because I found it absurd.
The idea that anyone acting like a nazi was 'actually' a nazi never crossed my mind, because I genuinely thought we as a species had collectively agreed that being a nazi is the closest thing to pure evil.
Oh how wrong I was.

I saw a clear separation between me and the idiot part of the demographic who enjoys the show at the Pickle Rick episode.

It wasn't funny. It wasn't even a good story or episode. It was just the writers deciding to come up with the most blatantly random thing for the sole sake of randomness.

I hate that I'm writing this because I'm gonna sound like the *"to be fair * copy pasta but, the fact that it's so lame and stupid is kind of the whole point of the bit.

He gives his big "I'm pickle Riiiiick!" presentation like it's supposed to be some big huge awesome thing, and it's presented like a punchline that you're supposed to laugh at and find funny... Then it's a hard cut to Morty's disappointed, slightly concerned face for a solid 10 seconds. Morty is you, the viewer, painfully unimpressed by what is presented as, well, "the funniest shit ever".

Remember in an earlier episode when Rick makes a reference to the non-existent Redgren Grumblholdt, and the kids laugh because they think it's supposed to be funny and just want to fit in? Those are the people that the "funniest shit ever" meme is about. People that are fed an intentionally bad joke, don't understand the irony behind the bad joke, but sees that everyone else is laughing at the bad joke, so they pretend the joke is funny. Two people laughing at the same thing for entirely different reasons.

The whole Pickle Rick plotline is just background events anyways. The meat and potatoes of the episode is with Dr Wong.

When this pickle rick stuff went down, I felt like I was taking crazy pills.
