In 1976, speaking as The Thin White Duke, Bowie's persona at the time, and "at least partially tongue-in-cheek", he made statements that expressed support for fascism and perceived admiration for Adolf Hitler in interviews with Playboy, NME, and a Swedish publication. Bowie was quoted as saying: "Britain is ready for a fascist leader... I think Britain could benefit from a fascist leader. After all, fascism is really nationalism... I believe very strongly in fascism, people have always responded with greater efficiency under a regimental leadership." He was also quoted as saying: "Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars" and "You've got to have an extreme right front come up and sweep everything off its feet and tidy everything up."

what did Bowie mean by this?

The amount of stuff that got pushed under a rug at that time. Like Warhol hiding Nico's racism.

Nico is a woman

"Those comments probably sounded better in his head"
Well he was deranged on drugs. Well, that's what he says.


"but nico i'm a jew"

"not you"
That quote makes me laugh every time. I shouldn't though, she stabbed a black woman in the eye.

"Nico is a woman"
Yes. Indeed she is. Well, was.

She didn't stab a black person in the eye. She said "I hate black people" and stabbed a mixed person in the eye.

I would let Nico stab me in the eye tbh.

Clarification for both of these cases, for the former we could argue the dude was fucked up out of his mind and bought into the whole Aryan gimmick with the Thin White Duke. Note how he was eager to forget that era at any chance he could, specifically outing L.A. should be "wiped off the fucking Earth." Cocaine psychosis is a bitch.



as for Nico, she was born in WWII Germany and lived during that era. To say she held beliefs in line with someone indoctrinated by that regime is hardly a surprise.

"L.A. should be "wiped off the fucking Earth.""
Based.
