It’s important to take it back. Skinhead culture started as poor London kids who loved Jamaican dub music who also loved the preppy collegiate look of americans in the 60s and they also hated the hippie, mod and beatleboi look
I remember the good ol’ days with the people who somehow fucked up graffiting a swastika on a wall or a fat southern kid covered in poorly done stick and poke iron crosses

SHARPs getting involved piques my interest.
1 pizzashill 2018-06-17
Well ok then.
1 Wraith_GraveSpell 2018-06-17
You never heard of SHARPs? Skinheads weren't always just a bunch of angry racist white dudes.
1 pizzashill 2018-06-17
Sure, but the term "skinhead" has certain connotations and I'm not sure why anyone would want to identify as one.
1 BasicallyADoctor 2018-06-17
They were the original skinheads
1 grungebot5000 2018-06-17

the first white ones

And you can reclaim the swastika while you're at it. It's a Buddhist symbol
1 ArtisanalCollabo 2018-06-17
Well it has been for the cultures that hold its original use sacred
1 Bigwooddeck 2018-06-17
And yet you rarely see Buddhists in the West publically displaying swastikas.
1 ArtisanalCollabo 2018-06-17
I see a lot of Indians with it. Some hotel I stayed at run by an Indian family had a giant swastika ting with the four dots behind the reception desk
1 Bigwooddeck 2018-06-17
Huh. I've never seen it myself but I believe you.
1 grungebot5000 2018-06-17
sure but it wasn’t a HUGE deal for them anyway
Jains tho, they’re still all about it
1 TrueBlue98 2018-06-17
Well no, but you in east Asia all the time
1 muck4doo 2018-06-17
So does "pizzashill", but nobody really believes you are the great Chuck E. Cheese.
1 OnionBits 2018-06-17
Does "pizzashill" reference pizzagate?
1 grungebot5000 2018-06-17
it’s different in the UK

I remember when that sub was actually about white supremacists, instead of insisting anyone who voted Republican was a klansman.
1 TheRealTrueDarkLord 2018-06-17
That's what happens when you let Chapotards invade your sub.
1 moondoggy101 2018-06-17
Watching the Chapo users radicalize themelves in real time is pretty funny.
1 TheRealTrueDarkLord 2018-06-17
And they can't even contain themselves.
/r/JustNeckbeardThings, /r/niceguys, /r/science, /r/pics, /r/murderedbywords, etc. is just more the same "le drumph bad" content over and over and over again. It gets annoying. If things keep going like this, Reddit will become Tumblr 2.0.
1 grungebot5000 2018-06-17
is that really chapo? seems more like Gen XD to me
1 jubbergun 2018-06-17
I'd say we should build a wall and make the CTH kids pay for it, but I think we all know that commies and hippies don't pay for anything.

3/4 of the post there seem against their rules. Coincidently the same amount of commenters who are dicks
1 ImagineAllTheGenders 2018-06-17
Punk was better when it was about beating up hippies
1 grungebot5000 2018-06-17
depends, is it an election or a culture war
