    Thanks for the explanation.

    It’s a shame that is what ended up sticking then, and that the terminology couldn’t have been associated with something better. In my mind, it’s impossible to think of them in any other context. That is the default definition that I have.

      It’s what fascist racists do. They co-opt and appropriate everything. The Nazis pretended to be socialist, the Klu Klux Klan just copy pasted bits and pieces of various different European cultures, heck even country had some edge and humanity to it, until it got homogenised by yee olde nationalism.

      Skinheads need to come back if you ask me. Same clothes, same haircut, same culture, just as a “fuck you” to whatever status quo you live by. People pretending they’re so different, when really everybody is the same.

      That was the point to begin with.
