I am disgruntled.
Last few days, it has become trendy on American TikTok to show opposition to the rise of fascism in America by using a short musical phrase in German language that I assume is or was a stadium chant. We were told it means "every Nazi is a son of a bitch" but the operative word is "hurensohn" or whore's son.
Awesome. Great. Way to practice intersectionality! Show your distaste for nazis by shitting on sex workers! Hoorah!

I edit-updated this post with the MP3 of the TikTok sound in question, which is not something I previously knew how to do. But TikTok at this point must be considered ephemeral, so.
Here's the link, which also lets you see a list of TikToks that have used the sound. https://www.tiktok.com/music/Originalton-7239769145163287322

@aurochs Well, let's not make too much out of my moment of disgruntlement. I'm not saying "whoops, let's pause the campaign against the rise of fascism and focus instead on restructuring the linguistics of Europe to lessen the anti-sexwork bias built into its cultural bones." 😃 I'm just expressing regret that a fun and wholesome-looking cross-cultural antifa meme turns out (on careful inspection) not to be something I can sing in good conscience.

@ErosBlog That is true, but "son of a whore" is an insult so embedded in so many languages (in spanish, for instance) that it is hard to take away. At this point I am glad that there's still people calling out nazis. But you are right, it is not nice for sex workers.

@aurochs I think we have to worry about not stepping on each other's faces during the struggle, honestly.
Aurochs
@ErosBlog I think we will have to take what we can get.

Sorry, but no.
Excusing demeaning and dehumanizing sex workers who are as much the target of fascists and Nazis as everyone else in the name of fighting Nazism is simply not acceptable to me, especially with sex workers already being stigmatized and erased far too much by some sectors of the Left. Being the "son (or daughter) of a whore" beats being a Nazi racist any day of the week.
Aurochs
@ErosBlog Yeah, that's definitely a safe way to go. And so much fun!

@aurochs Sometimes it seems like scatology is the only safe realm of cussing! Shit-eating shitheads, the lot of them.
Aurochs
@ErosBlog I also don't like calling them "sons of bitches" because that makes them puppies. (badum tsss!!!)
Aurochs
@ErosBlog Spot on.
AnthonyJK-Admin
Yeah, but whores are far better than Nazis, and so are their offspring. Unless, they become actual Nazis, that is.
Aurochs
@AnthonyJK @ErosBlog I don't think that beats a nazi-racist because nazis will also call you "son of a whore", and on top of that they are nazis.
Aurochs
@AnthonyJK @ErosBlog Ill take any offspring of any sex worker before a nazi. That's for sure.
