    Best video of a a justified ass kicking I’ve seen lately. Security wasn’t extremely interested in protecting him.

      Not at all. They totally allowed that face shot. But I’m glad he got that shot to the face because otherwise I don’t think he would have received the message. And I’ll just say, I’m glad he could end up walking away. He is allowed to reconsider his bad decisions.

    Always funny when Nazis think punk venues are a solid place for them to hang

      Punk Rock Bowling used to be a thing where people from the punk scene would meetup at a bowling alley. It’s grown. Now it’s a concert.

      Probably Brooklyn Bowl. It’s a combo bowling alley / mid-sized music venue in Brooklyn NY that opened a second location in Vegas a while back, because Brooklyn-branded things are apparently a big attraction for foreign tourists in the US.

    Remember that infamous nazi Lemmy user that defended elon musk’s nazi salute?

    I bet that user would be saying something like:
    “Maybe it was just a guy that loves lightning bolts!”

      Same reason why MAGA loves to go and ruin Pride festivals, to harass them. They believe that everyone else is sufferring from delusion and are waiting for someone like these MAGA or Nazi scumbags to “save” them.

      Those Nazi bitches love walking around with targets on their back. They’re masochistic. I’ve punched more than a handful of them in the late 90’s / early 2000’s in FL.

      There are people who didn’t know Rage Against the Machine were political until reading a Tom Morello tweet.

      My teacher was a punk back his day and fondly told us about how him and his friends would beat the crap out of Nazi punks when they would show up at the spots. He was born in Germany and his parents lived through the tiny mustache man period, so I am sure it was an act of German and family pride to address them appropriately. He would get a twinkle in his eye, as if recalling a fond memory that brought him joy.

      Best damn teacher anyone could hope for.

      Sadly, it has been going on for pretty much as long as punk has been around, and it doesn’t really have a single contributing factor.

      In the US 80s hardcore was made up mainly of white angry teens and young adults. Most weren’t racist but some were. And the low entry of musicianship needed to get into punk made it easy to start a band, so some Nazi bands started forming. The fans of these band thought they would be welcome at other punk shows, but were wrong. That’s why the Dead Kennedy’s wrote the song “Nazi Punk Fuck Off”.

      In England skinheads have been around since the 60s but where not the racist skinheads you think of today. It was more of a working class subculture. Oi punk evolved from this subculture, so as fascist started adopting skinhead culture the music came with it. It also doesn’t help that some early punks would wear Nazi symbols to be provocative, even if they didn’t believe in the ideology.

      Even in the 90s, when I was a teen and active in the local punk community Nazi’s would show up to a show every now and then. It always ended up with them getting drug outside and getting the shit kicked out of them. Even if they weren’t at the show if there was a sighting of Nazi’s nearby people would go running to kick the shit out of them. Yet, every few months it’s like they expected something else to happen when and would show up again.

      My only thought on why this shit is still happening 30-40 years later, is that you have to be a fucking moron to be a Nazi, so it’s not like they would have the best judgement when it comes to where they are welcome.

        You still think swastikas look cool
        The real Nazis run your schools

        I feel like I’m missing context behind some of the lyrics but that line is still JUST as fitting. 👏

          The song is actually a lot deeper than the chorus makes it seem. He actually trying to reason with the Nazi and say, “hey we’re both anti-authoritarian, you’re just a fucking idiot for thinking Nazism is the best way to go about it.”

          Punk ain’t no religious cult
          Punk means thinkin’ for yourself
          You ain’t hardcore, 'cause you spike your hair
          When a jock still lives inside your head

          This is saying you can’t just dress like a punk and be punk. Punk is an ethos not a uniform.

          If you’ve come to fight, get outta here
          You ain’t no better than the bouncers

          Some people see punks and mosh pits and think punks are all violent. But that’s not the case, so don’t come around if you just want to fight.

          We ain’t tryin’ to be police
          When you ape the cops, it ain’t anarchy

          But with that said, they aren’t trying to be the police. They want to dismantle control, not recreate it.

          Ten guys jump one, what a man
          You fight each other, the police state wins
          Stab your backs when you trash our halls
          Trash a bank if you’ve got real balls

          This section is basically saying don’t take your anger and aggression out on people. It is the system that got you down, not the other people. Take your rage out on institutions of real power, unless you are too much of a pussy.

          You still think swastikas look cool
          The real Nazis run your schools
          They’re coaches, businessmen and cops
          In a real fourth Reich, you’ll be the first to go

          As you noted this is pretty straight forward, those you hold up actually hate you. Scary how accurate that still is today.

          You’ll be the first to go, you’ll be the first to go
          You’ll be the first to go, unless you think

          Use your fucking brain, don’t be a Nazi.

          This is all just my interpretation after listening to this song for 30+ years. I’m sure there are other ways of looking at it.

      Johnny Ramone was very hard right. Even praised Regan and Bush during the Ramones Rock & Roll Hall in fame speech. The Ramones song “The KKK Took My Baby Away” was Joey Ramone taking a dig at Johnny for stealing Linda Ramone from him.

    Normally I would ask: What was he thinking?!

    But he’s a Nazi. So, yeah. Probably nothing much.
