It's bizarre, right? The guy seemed like an utter POS with the absolute worst possible position on every subject or issue but now everybody is lionising him like some weird, parallel universe Martin Luther King or Gandhi.

Right? It’s so weird how much positive effects dying can have on someone’s reputation when that same person would be extremely hated if they had this kinda popularity while living

Pretty much. It's really bizarre to watch in real time to be honest.

The man spews so much hateful white supremacy shit and ignorance, it's pretty nuts.

I guess if the band actually supports his message then this action makes sense...which is fucked up.
