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.
Nazi punks FUCK OFF!!!
Would’ve been better if it stopped at shirt.
Would have been a better story if they’d stomped him into an unrecognizable puddle of pink goo.
Good food.
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!”I can’t think of a group more likely to kick your ass for this shit haha.
That guy must have been suicidal.
He looks honestly surprised on the video.
As if he came from the Nazi-verse whoever everyone is a Nazi and was like, “Oh boy let’s check out this punk show”.
Bowling concert…?
They making music out of balls rolling down the alley and hitting the pins? 🤔
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.
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.
Out of all music genres to pick, why would you wear it to the farthest left one?
There are people who didn’t know Rage Against the Machine were political until reading a Tom Morello tweet.
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.
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 schoolsI 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 headThis 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 bouncersSome 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 anarchyBut 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 ballsThis 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 goAs 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 thinkUse 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.
wow that’s a great explanation. Thanks for typing it all out!
this song is definitely going in my saved songs now :)
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.
Well, you just interested me in their biography.

TIL
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.
“Nazi Punk” exists, the skinhead as a Nazi thing is then co-opting culture
Fuckviolence Nazis of all flavorsYou’re supposed to take the skinheads bowling though.
They tend to have a hard time getting through the ball return.
we don’t want them to have an easy time do we
The Green Room movie is based around this
What a great movie. Patrick Stewart should play more villains.
Indeed and Macon Blair and Jeremy Saulnier need to do more movies together, check out their movie Blue Ruin if you liked Green Room
I’ve seen both of these and they’re great. Got any other recommendations?
You mean other movies by these people or like in general?
I’ve seen it, it’s fantastic.
What was the shirt?
I figured by now everyone has seen the video.
Nope, been working twelve hour days. But thank you for the pic. That’s some bullshit.
Giant SS logo on the back. Unmistakeable.
Somewhat related- there’s a brand called Simply Southern that’s had some pretty big popularity among a certain demographic. My sister in law came over once with a tie dyed shirt from them on and I was like let me take a look at that. On the back it said Simply Southern, but in between the words was a slanted SS. Crypto Nazi shit. She didn’t even know it was there.
Fuck Reddit.
And, Nazis.
Some if the comments on this video are wild. People are actually trying to defend him by saying the shirt is from a motorcycle club (which it is) - one that just happened to use that exact symbology/logo. Totally an accident in their part, I’m sure.
I didn’t watch the video. Was it the iron cross symbol?
I used to go to this hole-in-the-wall punk club in Atlanta in the late nineties but I looked like a little hippy kid. My friends had to tell me when it was time to leave since folks might think I was there as a joke in order to fight for fun. I mean, not the same thing at all, but still. Showed me how strongly punk culture has a sense of justice and identity, however spectrumed. Good folks. Strong ethics from my experience.
Fuck a nazi right in the teeth.
It was the SS logo.
Oh yeah motorcycle clubs, the bastion of progressive, kind hearted people
You love to see it.
I’m actually glad how this is going down over on Redshit. People are openly commenting about doing this, and worse, to all Nazi pieces of shit and the comments aren’t generally being removed. My original 13 year old Redshit account was banned without warning for saying “It’s OK to punch Nazis”. So it’s great seeing the same sentiment being so overwhelming right now that the mods are basically throwing their hands up and allowing it.
I love seeing Redshit squirm under the weight of its users.
The dudes in my town would not allow a black truck breaking a three foot swatika on it to park. Driver exclaimed that it was a free country and jumped out. Our three dudes freely gave him an ass kicking. Ambulance took him to hospital. Cops did not arrest the dudes.
Unexpected overwhelm is definitely one of the ways that censorship has been overcome in the past. (eg. Berlin wall, velvet rev)
