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.
ERiiiIjeno
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???!!!”
So we can find a way to identify that guy and call CPS, right?
Looks like a preview of trump’s inauguration crowd.
