Rare people

  • The video of Rammstein’s new song, “Deutschland”, has brought controversy. Or, rather, the announcement of the video of the new song is the one that unleashed the chaparron. Over 35 seconds, four members of the group look uniform in the concentration camp, with a birch collar in the neck, waiting for the execution order. You hear nothing more than a melancholic melodia. A CSU politician has invited the team to visit Dachau, to whom the federal government’s anti-Semitic affairs officer accuses of “bad taste for artistic freedom.” More humbly, others have insisted that the Holocaust should not be used as a commercial bait.

That, a mere hook, because it was nothing more than an announcement: after the video was published on 28 March, it became clear that a passage of celestial concentration is nothing more than a long review of the black holes in German history. A post-modern review, passed through the screening of film images and loaded with horrors extracted from the imagination of Rammstein members. No one, however, has found any trace of a possible sympathy for Nazism.

Rammstein’s members were born in the 1960s, the youngest in 1971, in East Germany. However, they knew that wearing the uniform of the Jews – without making any gesture, without making any mockery of the victims – would be provocation, which would arouse the curiosity of their followers. In particular, they are accused of this perverse use. However, the press – FAZ, Der Spiegel, Die Zeit – has been able to criticise the group’s intention and to analyze and value what is seen in the video. Some have applauded the ironic vision of the problem of identity at a time when “identity policies are hardening”. No one has asked for it to be banned. Nobody's going to jail.

People are weird outside Spain.
