Skinhead with red shoelaces meant something totally different than Nazi back in the days.
TIL
A skinhead with red shoelaces is often associated with being a RASH (Red and Anarchist Skinheads) member or sympathizer. RASH is a subculture within the skinhead movement that emerged in the 1990s, primarily in the United States and Europe.
RASH skinheads are characterized by their anti-racist and anti-fascist views, as well as their anarchist or left-wing politics. They often wear red shoelaces as a symbol of their affiliation and to distinguish themselves from other skinhead groups, particularly those with racist or neo-Nazi ideologies.
Thanks for posting the background. I'm just so tired that facts don't matter these days, I don't even proof my point anymore.
In the 80s/90s, hardcore Street-Nazis wore "Springerstiefel", the german standard army boots. But you know who also loved these kinds of shoes, because they match perfectly with Nazi ass? Punks. I mean 80s Punks. Not 21century Punks...And they sported the red shoelaces, because Nazsi were actually wearing white shoelaces. It mixes with the whole football/hooligan subculture, but it gets a bit fuzzy from there.
I guess it's regional. When I was in highschool red laces meant they had or were willing to shed blood for their cause. Yellow laces indicated anti-racism. I actually just put yellow laces on my boots a few days ago for just that reason, not that anyone these days will know what it means.
I've got purple laces π
For gay pride?

Once I was traveling along Lake Superior visiting beaches I hadn't stopped at before and I came upon a local woman fishing with a little boy who I assume was her son. He came over while I was taking pics and started chatting in a friendly manner like kids do, mainly about fishing and hunting. Then he proudly describes that someday he will get his dad's big knife, his "Mexican killing knife". Now first off I'm like WTF, why are you so chipper about stabbing Mexicans? Second, the population up there is super low and like 90+% white, and I doubt that kid has met a legit Mexican person in his life. Third, his mother(?) didn't react at all to this bizarre declaration so obviously it wasn't abnormal for her to hear. I think about him when I see videos of bigot rallies.
My sibling watches a bunch of far right stuff and listens to racist white people rap music. One of their kids is half Malaysian, talks about all lives matter, and sings from memory the racist songs. They're too young to realize and it's shocking how innocently they'll parrot stuff that is targeting themselves
I doubt that kid has met a legit Mexican
Which is why it is so easy for him to "hate".

My body is not physically capable of producing the amount of vomit this picture makes me want to expell.
Edit: Holy shit. Zoom in over the left side of skinheads shoulder. There's a black woman using her body language to nonverbally communicate what we all said upon seeing this....
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK???!!!"

I grew up in Indiana and live here once again. I wish I could say that. I really do. All I could do was shake my head.
Poor kid. :(
The adult nazi was the "poor kid" once...
Looks like a preview of trumpβs inauguration crowd.
Sure are a bunch of punching bags just out in the middle of the street.
When you have nothing to be proud of, the only thing you can say is you like being white at the expense of exterminating all others.
Every picture of the "master race" I've ever seen has the most haggard looking people in it.
Minor detail but combining the current/Weimar republic colors with Nazi shit on the right there really shows how fucking stupid they are.
I never expect a nazi to be smart, but I wouldn't expect them to be that fucking stupid.
I guess one of the dangers of being uneducated is that you can end up building your identity around two diametrically opposed ideologies. We literally fought a war against the Nazis and won. They would know that if they had stayed in school. Poor, dumb, fools.
If they're the "Master Race", then why are they all so fat except for the guy with the weird haircut who is holding the flag?
Not only that but, remember when America was so Anti Russia (CCCR), they started wars over it instead of holding hands with their leader behind our backs? What happened, y'all turned into a bunch of commie lovers now? /s
No need for the "/s". They're traitors. They have no ideals. They'll do whatever they're told by other, more powerful traitors.

Such a loving family photo! You can see how much Dad loves his lil tyke! Just look at how he's dragging him along by the forearm like luggage. Truly, father of the year material, here before our very eyes.
He seems to need an encounter with a SHARP object
Where is this? And itβs recently?
"Cskinhead?"
Cskin is short for cockskin. He's a self proclaimed dickhead.
even "skinhead" is debatable. He's bald he's not shaving his head to look hard lol
when you misspell "shithead"
M'great Aryan genes need protected.
So we can find a way to identify that guy and call CPS, right?
This kid is probably in his 20s by now
