I can’t believe this hasnt been taken down. This site is chock full of pussies who think this is advocating violence and you should just tolerate Nazi freedom of speech and try to win them over in the “marketplace of ideas.”
Those same people get real salty about “tankies” who they think= anyone left of Biden and not a pacifist.
This is why every anti-nazi protest needs to have everyone armed. Those bastards won’t show their faces around people who can and will fight back.
Protests in general should be heavily armed and (more importantly) well organized. Whether it’s the Nazis or the cops (insert ‘same picture’ meme here), they’re scared of an actual fight
Everyone is scared of a fight at this point it seems. Only reasoning how it could get this bad before change.
Yeah but the cops have been scared of a real fight forever. They’re cowards who like to attack people who can’t or won’t fight back, but shy away from anything where they might meet organized resistance; the Black Panthers proved it, long before I was even born
I still find it hard to not automatically assume a bald guy dressed in typical punk attire isn’t a neo-nazi skinhead, since almost every dude I’ve met that looks like that has been one.
Your assumptiom would most likely be wrong. The vast majority of punks in general are anti-racist and would gladly punch a Nazi. The ones that are most likely to actually deliver the punch are the bald guys in typical punk attire.
The original skinhead movement was very progressive, anti-racist, and there are plenty of skinhead punks still representing it in the exact same way. All of the skinhead punks in my area identify as SHARPS or Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice, and I don’t live in a super progressive place or anything.
Nazi skinhead punks aren’t seen in public much, nowadays, mostly thanks to the guaranteed violence from the people mentioned above. If they are brave enough to be in public, they will make it known with some sort of asshole patch, asshole tattoo, or doc marten boots with white laces, but I’ve never seen one at a normal punk show.

I don’t really keep track of fashion for punks, (it feels like there’s a hole where fashion knowledge would go-i just can’t be arsed to pretend to care) but as an almost entirely bald guy (very short buzz) now I’ll have another paranoia to think about.
It won’t make any sense (hence why I call it that) since I almost always just wear cargo shorts and a plain solid color tee, but now that annoying part of the brain will have this to latch onto.
I’ve gone pretty bald so these days I buzz or shave my head. It sucks. People think I’m a Nazi or a cop or military. I guess being mistaken for military isn’t that bad but I’m the opposite of a fucking Nazi and looking like a cop makes it hard to buy drugs.
Oh yeah, and punk is my favorite. I used to keep my mohawk up with spray paint.
Yeah, appearance is a form of communication whether we like it or not.
In my case, I’m a big white guy with a beard living in a 3/4 red area. So things like red hats, mirrored sunglasses, and camo/punisher/tacticool clothes or accessories aren’t allowed anywhere near me, lol. I stick with thick framed glasses too.
Surveillance states and mobile recording devices in everyone’s pocket, plus a media machine that portrays any violence done as barbarism means that the people delivering haymakers to skinhead fucks are no longer safe themselves
Mm, yes, great idea, I’ll totally go punch the lights out of people with the legal ability to shoot me for it.
Sometimes violence is the answer.
