The funny thing is that's just things coming full circle. Back in the day punk bands, especially in England, would intentionally wear swastikas and dress as Nazis as counter culture and that's why you can find plenty of images of someone like Johnny Rotten (The one guy willing to be blacklisted for calling out Jimmy Savile back then) wearing themThese days, I see Hitler as more of a punk rock figure, but that's because the Establishment is so bent on making him absolutely evil. I don't care for any of them really, but it's always sus when one side demonizes another side.
It's kind of hilarious how the people who think they're the counter culture today would view the counter culture of the past in the same light that they view places like this. I don't know how the media pulled it off, but they essentially buried all the satanic panic of the left, but preserved it from the right. It's kind of weird looking back at something like the old shitty comics from the guy who made Loss, and seeing him openly talking about how Hillary Clinton was in bed with the lawyer who wanted to ban violent video games, but everything like that has been memory holed.
