The indie rock musician Ariel Pink has been under fire since photos surface of him in Washington, DC during the pro-Trump riots that stormed the Capitol building. Don’t worry, there was some good news this week too as Killer Mike points out, flipping Georgia will have a lot more long-lasting effects. 

Though Pink maintains that he was in DC but not part of the violent mob writing in a Tweet: “i was in dc to peacefully show my support for the president. i attended the rally on the white house lawn and went back to hotel and took a nap. case closed,” the idea that he was supporting President Trump was too much for some people he’s affiliated with to stomach. His label, Mexican Summer, wrote on Twitter today that they have severed their working relationship with Pink. “Due to recent events, Mexican Summer and its staff have decided to end our working relationship with Ariel Rosenberg AKA Ariel Pink moving forward,” the label wrote.

Whether or not Pink was part of the mob, his stance on Trump has been clear for a while now, as he’s tweeted about it twice before the riots took place. Either way, he’s no longer affiliated with Mexican Summer.

Lyrics:
i don’t always wake up in the mornin’
pour myself a strong one
aw, but when i get lonely i do
your memory gets to burnin’
lean back on the bourbon
sure as hell can’t keep leanin’ on you

looks like i’m learnin’ the hard way again
it’s all my fault, yeah, i dropped the ball
you’re gone and i’m gone three sheets to the wind
thinkin’ bout all…i’ve

wasted on you
all of this time
and all of this money
all of these sorrys i don’t owe you honey
all of these miles on this chevy
and prayers in a pew, all them days i spent wasted on you
wasted on you

yeah, i swore this one’d be different
my heart wouldn’t listen
to my head in these boots on my feet
looks like i’m learnin’ the hard way again,
that’s why i’ve been…

wasted on you
all of this time
and all of this money
all of these sorrys i don’t owe you honey
all of these miles on this chevy
and prayers in a pew, all them days i spent wasted on you
wasted on you

like this pile of your stuff that’s packed up in the back
right down to the flame of this match
wasted on you, wasted on you, wasted on you, wasted on you

wasted on you
all of this time
and all of this money
all of these sorrys i don’t owe you honey
all of these miles on this chevy
and prayers in a pew, all them days i spent wasted on you
wasted on you, wasted on you
wasted on you

Jan. 6, 2021 started out as a relatively normal day for many of us (a particularly good day, even!). Maybe you had the news on in the background as Congress began certifying the Electoral College votes from the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Obviously, though, the day took a turn as a mob of Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol building, causing chaos.

Article continues below advertisement

In the days following the violent event, there have been reports that some of the members of the mob were wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase “6MWE.” Naturally, people have wondered what the alphanumeric phrase means. As you can probably guess by the people who are typically seen wearing it, it’s not good. (Note: This article includes anti-Semitic imagery which some readers may find disturbing.)

What does “6MWE” mean?

In short, “6MWE” stands for “6 Million Wasn’t Enough” — a glaringly anti-Semitic and hateful message that refers to the 6 million Jewish people who were murdered during the Holocaust (and implies that the number should be higher). The slogan has become particularly popular among the Proud Boys, a hate group (as classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center) with members who are often involved in violent events such as the ones that took place at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Often, T-shirts that feature the phrase “6MWE” also include an illustration of an eagle, which also has ties to anti-Semitism and fascism. The eagle logo comes from the coat of arms used by the Italian Social Republic, the short-lived Italian Fascist state led by Benito Mussolini that functioned as a Nazi puppet state during World War II.

The “6MWE” T-shirts seen at the Capitol on Jan. 6 (and at other pro-Trump events) are overt symbols of anti-Semitism. And it probably won’t surprise you to learn that they’re not the only ones members of the violent mob were reportedly wearing that day.

What does “Camp Auschwitz” mean?

There are also reports of some of the pro-Trump protestors wearing sweatshirts that said “Camp Auschwitz” on the front and the word “STAFF” on the back. The sweatshirt also features a skull and crossbones and the words “work brings freedom.”

Article continues below advertisement

It’s not as though “6MWE” is a wholly inscrutable secret code, but anyone wearing a “Camp Auschwitz” sweater is not making any attempt to camouflage their anti-Semitism. The sweater is an overt reference to the death camps in Nazi Germany-occupied Poland. The slogan “Arbeit macht frei” (German for “work brings freedom”) was placed at the entrances of several Nazi concentration camps. There is no room for interpretation or nuance: The “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirts are symbols of anti-Semitism.

While many in the U.S. and throughout the world are reeling from the violent events that took place at the Capitol (and, indeed, which have taken place throughout U.S. history) it’s easy for a lot of the smaller details to be swept aside or not fully understood. While it’s undoubtedly an ugly side of the history we’re currently living through, it’s also important that we all understand the meaning behind these hateful symbols and call them out for what they are.

Donald Trump was permanently banned from Twitter on Friday, and if he’s looking for a social media alternative he may be running out of luck with MAGA-friendly Parler. The social media site, deemed a safe space for violent rhetoric without fear of censorship, may be in trouble with Apple after Trump helped fan flames of a riot that was encouraged in part on social media platforms by Trump supporters. 

Buzzfeed reported Friday that Apple has threatened to ban Parler from its app store unless it provides some sort of content moderation to remove hate speech and other threats of violence, some screenshots of which have been widely shared on other social media sites in the wake of Wednesday’s MAGA riot in Washington that killed five people.

“We have received numerous complaints regarding objectionable content in your Parler service, accusations that the Parler app was used to plan, coordinate, and facilitate the illegal activities in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021 that led (among other things) to loss of life, numerous injuries, and the destruction of property,” Apple wrote to Parler. “The app also appears to continue to be used to plan and facilitate yet further illegal and dangerous activities.”

Apple said that “to ensure there is no interruption of the availability of your app on the App Store,” Parler was required to submit an update and a “requested moderation improvement plan within 24 hours of the date of the message,” which was sent on Friday morning. Apple said if it did not receive an update from the company within that time frame, the app would be removed from the App store.

On other social media accounts, Apple and Google were seeing pressure to ban Parler and essentially deplatform those who have fled Twitter and Facebook in recent weeks over cries of conservative censorship.

And is often the case when conservatives grapple with the constitutionally-protected freedom of speech, well, it doesn’t really apply here. While everyone has the ability to say things that they want, companies distributing those thoughts on platforms that are allowed by a company like Apple may be liable if violence results from it. And it’s well within their right to protect themselves by removing apps that violate their terms of service.

That doesn’t necessarily mean Parler would go away forever, just lose an extremely popular way applications are downloaded onto phones. Although Friday did bring word that Parler itself was down for a time, especially in the wake of Trump getting banned from Twitter.

It’s impossible to know whether Parler can actually institute those changes in time to avoid removal from the app store, and like that phone you still have Flappy Bird on, it may be able to survive without a presence in the largest mobile marketplace in existence. But it’s certainly bad news for those who like Parler as it is, and part of a day that’s changing the very face of social media in an enormous way.

Don’t keep me waiting
I’ve been waiting all night to get closer
And you already know I got it for ya
You know the vibes, know the vibes

Baby, this far from mediocre no

Imagining things we could do
Won’t tell no lies, no lies to you

Newly-emerging details from Wednesday’s U.S. Capitol riot in Washington, D.C. that left five people dead included a cruelly ironic one—a woman who died in a crowd stampeding to enter the Capitol was carrying a “Don’t Tread on Me” flag.
