The only place I’ve ever seen talk about the groypers attempting to use it was hexbear, their impact with it was non-existent. They would never successfully coopt this there is absolutely no chance the european left ever relinquishes a song so important here. The fascists in europe despise it, it boils their piss.
Feasibility of coopting something. You can’t do it if you can’t get a critical mass of your fash buds to do it too, and you can’t do it if you can’t get the other side to step back from it. If your fash friends feel visceral disgust from the song you’ve got a problem in getting enough of them together to coopt it, let alone when you’re trying to coopt something that’s played at literally every single leftist event. You may as well be trying to coopt the Internationale.
American leftists are the other side to them and Americans don’t have any near as much of an attachment to the song. Europeans might as well be on mars for groypers. I’m not saying that they have coopted, or even that they’ve tried to, my point is that Europeans are entirely irrelevant when talking about groypers.
I think you’d be surprised how many groypers are european nazis. These terminally online crowds are extremely international. And these online meme driven activities are highly reliant on getting the largest number of participants possible which relies on being nation-less, which in a sense white supremacy on the internet tries to be. They are the “white nation” in the online space and its what bolsters numbers as opposed to specific niche geographical groups of nationalists that hate each other.

The hearts of iron playlist with Bella ciao people are talking about had 30 saves on Spotify. I highly doubt it was seen by Robinson.
I don’t see why groypers would care at all how something is perceived in Europe.
