The whole "antifa supporter" thing seems to come from the fact
Buzzfeed reported that some dude from Neckbeard Deathcamp aknowledged tweeted he was a previous band member, described him as anti fascist. Neckbeard Deathcamp do have an antifa sticker as their logo. Also
Snopes and
CNN has established he supported left wing causes and candidates.
This is a screenshot of the tweet from the article.
After deleting that tweet Neckbeard Deathcamp flat out
said he was never a member of their band.
What to make of all this? Despite Buzzfeeds interpretation all the first (deleted) tweet tells me is some that some rocker said "holy fuck, I know that dude", in a scene that's as small as grindcore is that's entirely possible without them jamming together. He also described him as "anti fascist", whether that means the same thing as "Antifa" depends on who you ask.
His twitter account said supportive things of antifa, spoke out against Nazis and-get this opposed gun violence. Regardless there's nothing stopping people on the left side of politics from being shitheads it would still make one anti fascist mass shooter as opposed to
16 far right mass shooters killing 175 in the past eight years whose killings were clearly linked to their ideology. It's not clear if Connor Betts's mass shooting, his rape list or his le edgy gonzo "pornogrind" band with it's rapey lyrics had fuck all to do with leftist or antifa ideologies. I can't even find any Stalinist Spartacist tankies, the sort who think Uncle Joe was great, who'd say rape is good or random mass shootings of innocent civilians are groovy.
As far as I can see he was a
violent misogynist mass killer in spite of his leftist leanings-not because of them. Yeah, I know Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot et al literally did mass killings but those guys did their killing with a clear 'ends justifies the means' rationale coached in a justification that it'd further the cause of communism. And yes those actions were objectively loathsome but their perpetrators put their justifications for all to see in black and white. Same with the doings of the Red Army Faction, Symbionese Liberation Army, FARC etc. I don't see that coming from Betts, correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see it.
