    As badly as I want this shirt, I could never wear it. Live in rural Oklahoma and it would cause nothing but fights. Sigh, oh to live anywhere but here

      I live in Ohio and wear it regularly, though I’m getting more nervous about it as the days go on.

      But fuck it.

        Living in Florida with two youngins, I can’t risk it. Some unpermitted asshat will blow me away without so much as a word. My wife has a banned books shirt and an Alt NPS shirt, and I worry. I have some science shirts and a Reading Rainbow (unofficial) books shirt, and I’m just waiting for a confrontation. It’s as far as I can risk.

          Get armed, it’ll make the inevitable confrontation that much more of a teachable moment.

            There would be no teachable moment for an aggressor in this confrontation.

            You never show a gun until you are in a situation where you have no choice but to employ it. Never brandish. This isnt the movies.

    I bought the “Doom x John Brown” shirt from their site last year and, as a lifelong Doom fan and anti-confederate, really savor wearing it when I go out.

    Self defense. Violent views that would not tolerate your very existence don’t qualify for tolerance.

      Tolerance requires a mutual respect for each others’ coexistence. It’s kind of right on the label. You don’t have a meeting of the minds with someone whose premise begins and ends with denying that.

      The klansman mask is on purpose because it hides the face. If you went out in public with an explicit image of a guy with a Nazi buzzcut getting his brains blown out, it would probably trigger some local law about public graphic images. This probably skirts the line, but is a ‘cartoon caricature’ so is still ok to wear out.

      IANAL

        Not really.

        Nazis would kill them too although there was some kind of KKK that joined the nazi party.

        Given enough time nazis would exterminate christians too and the KKK is supposed to be some protestant anti-catholic group (but I guess that something all neo-nazis have in common, they think they would be allowed in the nazi party but they wouldn’t)

        Edit. Apparently nazis didn’t know what to do exactly with black people they considered them inferior but weren’t prosecuted like the did with other minorities.

      The election is over, grandpa. We got new things to worry about.

      Also, what is up with your comment history? For every 6 comments in the negatives you got one controversial one at best. Not a single unquestionably positive comment with you.

        Just trolling. Gotta do something while I’m on the toilet. None of my comments on here are serious.

        Not a grandpa yet. That would send me into overdrive with these over the top comments

    Imagine wearing this to public gatherings. It would probably ruin some relationships but the chaos it would cause would be so sweet.

      I’m not against violence at all.

      Violence solves many problems.

      I AM against authoritarian violence against the unprivileged.

          The message is clear, and people trying to defend the KKK and/or Nazis are the very same who need to see that message.

          It’s a play on the “paradox of tolerance”. TLDR: If you tolerate intolerant people, the intolerant eventually work their way into power and authority.

            See this is where you go off the rails. I support your idea and message but wearing a shirt of anyone getting their brains blown out is pretty hectic, divisive and inflammatory.

              What part of the KKK and Nazis gave you the idea that they weren’t already hectic, divisive, and inflammatory? I would go as far as saying that it’s the whole point of the KKK and Nazis.

              You cannot reason these people into acceptance of others who aren’t like them. The only way you can deal with a violent and intentionally cruel group is by meeting them with their own methods. They have no issues committing genocide, so why should I take the high road with them when they clearly have every intention of going low and taking cheap shots wherever they can?

              People wearing shirts like this in public will absolutely stir the pot, but it will also cause some to think twice before committing acts of violence against marginalized groups, which is an improvement.

              Those who react negatively to this imagery in defense of the KKK/Nazis are the ones you need to be worried about.

                That is a wild statement and my entire point. That’s your thoughts, some people dislike violence full stop, regardless of who is committing and who is suffering the violence. I’m honestly struggling to think of a single socially acceptable place to wear the t-shirt outside of a protest. Even then, it’s like you’re hoping the protest turns into a riot.

                Edit: and further, who the fuck said the KKK isn’t inflammatory etc? You guys really need to sit the fuck down and have a think about the shit you are spewing.

    FC St. Pauli has better anti-Fascists shirts and I do not want to stoop to the level of a shit neo-Nazi MAGAt.
