We need to go back in time and tell Zhukov to ignore orders and continue advancing until his socks get wet.

[-] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 37 points 1 week ago

Honestly just go show this to Stalin and he will issue new orders.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 50 points 1 week ago

Here I was thinking it might be subtle...

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago

I guess the totenkopf was taken.

[-] AmericaDeserved711@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

nazi insignia aside, why would anyone want to wear this? it's fucking hideous

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 week ago

It looks so bad, like why isn't the eagle higher up on the shirt, why is it touching the "O" but not like, grabbing onto it or something?

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Because they just slapped Nazi clipart into a Canva project and decided that was enough

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 week ago

That would require artistic skills and there's a strong correlation between the wish to destroy all the arts and producing shit art.

Yeah I saw an actual store years ago somewhere on the east coast that had a huge fucking Reich eagle on the storefront with the BOY under it.

I was wide-eyed as fuck going "what the fuck is this"

Apparently it's English. Company literally called "Boy London" https://www.boy-london.com/collections/t-shirts-24

Of course someone on reddit noticing it a decade ago with my same reaction. https://old.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/2f8use/this_boy_london_logo_is_literally_a_nazi_symbol/?rdt=52214 and of course all the comments are all "Oops all Nazis" dead-dove-1 dead-dove-2 dead-dove-3 i-am-adolf-hitler

Honestly whoever came up with the idea to brand their shirts the nazi party's eagle should have it glued to their body and go for a tour in one of those small medieval torture cages on the back of a flatbed and have whatever shit people got on hand thrown at them

It's not Nazi heraldry unless it comes from the National Socialist region of Bavaria!

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 26 points 1 week ago

Just sparkling fascism!

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

That's every region of Bavaria!

"Ironic" nazi imagery used to be popular in certain parts of the 70s punk scene in London, which is where the brand originates from.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Same with Fred Perry shirts, Lonsdale clothing and Ben Sherman jackets. Used to be the uniform for anti-racist, working class skinheads, rude boys and other kinds of cool people in London in the 70s. Now it's been co-opted by a bunch of nazi assholes or English geezers with the worst opinions you've ever heard.

[-] DickFuckarelli@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago

I still rock all those because boneheads and proud boys can all fuck right off. And I find delight when one tries to sidle up to me and I get to tell them to fuck off to their face.

SHARPs/RASH stay winning

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

That makes some kind of sense. Iirc the purpose was to piss off people who thought of themselves as being not-Nazis who were definitely de-facto Nazis.

But like it's 2024 now, WWII and the OG Nazis are not within easy living memory, this doesn't work anymore.

Obligatory Aldo Raine reference riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight here.

Posted for your amusement:

BOY is a powerful message of hedonism, a rebel yell, a crusading anarchic flag of true rebellion – a radical, fearless, and apolitical attitude to life.

BOY is not about gender but the freedom to be anything, Society changes, music changes, fashion changes, ideas change, people change, emotions change - but BOY is constant.

Born in 1976 on London’s Kings Road, BOY was part of the birth of punk. Billy Idol worked in the store, Sid Vicious and Jonny Rotten would hang out, Bob Geldof, The Stones – customers would take a deep breath as they walked into BOY, never knowing what or who they might encounter.

BOY became a cult name that swept around the world drawing crowds that caused chaos on the street outside so big that doormen had to hold them back. From Punk to New Romantic, Blitz, Goth, New Wave and Acid House – BOY has been a social barometer over five decades, with a legacy in fashion history as a visual account of counter-cultural style through time. From the Kings Road to Covent Garden and Soho, BOY has been a hub for the vanguard, the avant-garde, and the artistic rebels. The world keeps spinning, but BOY lives on.

Hugo Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime
That's why I punch nazis on company time

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

I always felt iffy about it, but I thought it was some different eagle or something. Still gives me the creeps.

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

It's the exact same eagle.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah I see that now... Before I would just see some 18 year old with a BOY hoodie and not look at it hard enough to recognize the nazi eagle. I would just kind of get bad vibes from it.

Thanks for that. I'm going to get this made

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Juesus, there's like 100 better looking eagles from European history and like 10 of them aren't even co-opted by chuds, why not use them? Why not a nice Albanian eagle to wear in your :bunkerbunker
