Burzum in Bnei Brak?
Well, not exactly, but close enough.
(Some details have been changed to protect the guilty and to promote cohesive storytelling from two separate events)
I was in a supermarket today frequented by charedim. There was a nice lad there who happened to be wearing a Burzum t-shirt.
Of course, I went over to him. We shared amusement at the fact that all of these shoppers except me had no idea this T-shirt endorsed frontman and convicted murderer Varg Vikernes (yimach shmo), an open Nazi who would happily place everyone there (including said fan) in ovens and turn up the heat.
Then, of course, I gave it to him over the head a bit.
He basically told me that he doesn’t support Burzum’s ideals but since it’s good music he’ll wear the T-shirt. Then some lady asked him to do a mitzvah for her in bad American Hebrew (not much worse than mine)- so the conversation was over.
So I want to know what you guys think.
Do you think it’s OK to like a band and be into their music if, well basically, they want to kill you, or hate you for your religion/race/whatever? To what degree?
Ben Gurion listened to Wagner, and it doesnt get much worse than that…

Varg Vikernes is not a Nazi, he just want a better world without all of YOU!!!

It is not ok. Burzum is a nazi band. So if you buy heir merhandise, you are unintentinally suporting their ideas.

I saw one of the comments Burzum isn’t a band… you can’t call a band when there is only one member… but anyway to the point, Burzum makes great music , and i think he’s very talented musician, and hell yeah i will wear he’s T- Shirt, and by the way , some israeli radio station interviewd him after get got out of jail, and they asked about hatered and all this shit and he said he never hated Jewish people , its just rummors and he dont have anything agaisnt us, soo you can judge a person by he’s looks or maybe by he’s art but untill you will hear it from the person it sellf you wil never belive it!
