JAKARTA -aku menanggapi kritik online yang menyebutnya sebagai 'Nazi'.

The alternative pop singer and former Elon Musk pair fought online accusations, and shared that he was frustrated to face backlashes as he was proud to white culture.

He responded to the criticism by visiting the X social media platform previously known as Twitter on New Year's Eve, December 31.

I'm called Nazi because I'm proud of white culture, the post started.

But every day I remember the brown king Cyrus Agung who discovered the first kingdom, and the Japanese icon Murasaki Shikibu who wrote the first novel. What if humans love each other? History teaches us that we've all been, and will always be great.

The post caused a wave of responses from other users, some of whom accused him of being a adherent of white supremacy. Responding to one of these allegations, the singer whose real name is Claire Boucher denied the allegations.

I am a human suprematist man is extraordinary, he wrote.

"It's crazy for me if people try to justify the abolition of people's achievements for modern divisions. I refuse to comply," he added in a series of other responses.

[People] feel they can't be proud, so I want to emphasize other people's extraordinary achievements and integrate them into Western education while also giving pride on the achievements of white people," he continued.

I believe there has been a massive elimination of non-European and historical achievements that must be taught more comprehensively.

In response to other users criticizing him for being proud' to white culture without referring to any kind of violence historically linked to him, he said that is a racist act to pretend that white people are always in power because all humans contribute to our worst and best.

Elsewhere, he retaliated to a fan who urged him to delete the initial post.

"I don't care. I will always drive for the beauty and death of all humans. Only those who refuse to see history who think anyone is taller or lower and I will die happily on this hill," he said.

I'm called a Nazi because I happily am proud of white culture. But every day I think fondly of the brown king Cyrus the Great who invented the first ever empire, and the Japanese icon Murasaki Shikibu who wrote the first novel ever. What if humans just loved each other?…

This isn't the first time Myo has been in the spotlight for his views. Last year, the singer was in the spotlight for hanging out with far-right and neo-Nazi figures online and liking right-wing memes on Twitter/X as documented on subReddit.
