Music isn’t anti-Semitic.

Wagner was a real jerk personally but GMAFB. He was long dead before the Nazis ever even existed.

Richard Wagner: A Composer Forever Associated with Hitler

Wernher von Braun is a rocket engineer forever associated with Hitler.

Germany is a country forever associated with Hitler.

Reminds me of a note I once saw in a restroom where someone had written on a piece of paper, “If toilet is running, wiggle handel”.
Someone else wrote under that, “If I wiggle handel will he wiggle Bach?”.

Saw one of the early cycle wagner operas. Thought it was a giant curse on the crowd. Felt like I needed a shower afterwards

Wagner was reverse engineered by Lord of the Rings into a giant blessing.

She’s sweet on Wagner
I think she’d die for Beethoven
She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune
And Verdi’s always creeping from her room

ELO - Rockaria

Wagner’s sick mind aside, I just don’t like his music. But German/Austrian compositions of the late romantic era (Wagner, R. Strauss, Mahler, Brahms, Bruckner, etc.) aren’t my cup of tea in general.

Not every German was a Nazi. There was once a sort of nobility associated with Germany that the Nazis forever destroyed. Will some socialist arise in the U.S. as well, doing the same to our American dream? If people like Obama and Clinton get their way.

By the way........exactly this kind of wallowing in the misery of the past.....this ridiculous pretense that all of modern German history since the Napoleonic wars was an inevitable prelude to Hitler....what I call the “all roads lead to Hitler” idea is exactly why Germany is such a self loathing, spineless, multi-Kulti mess today despite having a lot of things going for it.

It happened. It was hideously awful but....in the end it was 12 years. It was not all of German history. It was not the inevitable product of a uniquely sick culture. Having some pride in your heritage and some self respect does not make you a Nazi. Other countries *cough* Russia, France, etc *cough* have had brutal warlike tyrants too. They moved on from them without feeling some kind of sick need to chop their own balls off to atone. It’s long past time for Germany to get over it and start acting like a normal country........that absolutely means carrying its own weight militarily instead of freeloading off of others. It also means deporting the scum of the earth they imported to take the place of the kids they never had.

"Should we allow ourselves to listen to his works with pleasure, even though we know that he was an anti-Semite?"

Sure.

I imaging him spinning in his grave knowing that his music gives pleasure to this Jew.

I am a FANATICAL Wagner fan and when people find that out, that is the first thing they say “Wasn’t he a Nazi”? They are unaware that it was Hitler that adopted Wagner’s views. |
Wagner was a anti-semite asshole, but so was most of Europe at the time.
I hope this doesn’t offend anyone.
Flame away.

If you're going to blacklist the work of anyone perceived as "racist", "anti-Semitic", "sexist" or "homophobic" by today's PC standards, you're going to wind up blacklisting and banning pretty much everything of any value. Which is precisely what the politically correct Left wants to do.

In college, we had a bunch of funny names for all the composers, just because.

Johnny Batch
Freddy Handle
Ricky Wagner...

Nevertheless...in only a few years, a nation of culture was turned into one of modern barbarians.

Platonic collectivism, then Kant's assault on reality, reason, and man's happiness, then German idealists + romanticists, then Hegelian worship of statism, then the literature of Palmieri & Gentile, who upheld fascism on a Hegelian foundation, + theoretical racism of Wagner, Gobineau, Lapouge, and Chamberlain + Darwin's survival of the fittest = nazism

In America we celebrate some anti-semites like Farrakkan. And oddly, so many Jewish people support Dems who don't support Israel. What an odd world.
