A Pop Band Tricked Americans Into Being Nazis

Do you remember Ace of Base? I should tell you something: Ace of Base was probably a bunch of Nazis.

This is a very interesting article about the 90s musical pop group "Ace of Base".

Actually, that they have ties to the neo-Nazi movement isn't in dispute, or at all a secret. A few years ago, Vice music editor Ben Shapiro wrote an article that revealed that Ace of Base founder Ulf Ekberg was once in a Nazi punk band called Commit Suiside.

Yah, I read 'Cracked Magazine' for the articles.

    I remember reading that article in 2015. I believe that guy actually claimed that he was no longer a white supremacist by the time he was in Ace of Base. Some of their lyrics definitely do sound very dog-whistley though.

        Yes, that's definitely the most indefensible part of it. It's possible they had no creative control over the music video, but it all comes off as very crypto-fascist.
