Comment on Little miracles
yeather@lemmy.ca 3 weeks agoAccording to Reddit comments he wasn’t a Nazi, but a biker. Biker gangs have a complicated history with the iconography, to the point where even the non-white groups use the symbols.
?
No. Bikers do not have a “complicated history” with Nazi iconography. Maybe some WWII veterans could have an excuse because there killing Nazis and were displaying their captures, no one today has any excuse.
You know what you call a non-white person wearing Nazi symbols? A Nazi.
The comment had a link to a documentary, the original biker gangs used captured nazi iconography since they were all veterans. It then morphed with the next generation and continued to change until biker today do not recognize the symbols as nazi and associated them with club founders.
I guarantee you they know what the symbols mean. Why would you wear a shirt with a symbol you didn’t understand? Let alone getting them as tattoos.
I have a shirt that’s a portrait of three huskeys. I don’t understand it, but I wear it.
“Complicated history” of bikers aside–and we CAN toss it aside because this is today–TODAY, wearing such iconography is inexcusable. This guy 100% knows what that SS symbol represents TODAY, and chose to wear it where he did. Stop making excuses for Nazis.
Guess they better grow up then
I think that you should have done your due diligence before stepping up to defend a nazi (potential or otherwise)

Here is a link to the video: yahoo.com/…/man-wearing-nazi-t-shirt-201221275.ht…
The guy has SS runes on his T-Shirt. If you wear SS runes, you’re a nazi (or insanely unexucated and stupid), and it doesn’t matter if you’re also a biker.
