Going to a punk concert as a Nazi is one of the dumbest thing you can do.
Yet....

Similar level.
Don't kink shame.
Out of all music genres to pick, why would you wear it to the farthest left one?
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 schools
I 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 head
This 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 bouncers
Some 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 anarchy
But 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 balls
This 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 go
As 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 think
Use 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.
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 them co-opting culture
Fuck violence Nazis of all flavors
The Green Room movie is based around this
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.

TIL
Normally I would ask: What was he thinking?!
But he’s a Nazi. So, yeah. Probably nothing much.
Probably wanted to get footage of getting his ass beat to recruit others
Every group of white supremacists should film themselves being pummeled in order to change recruitment numbers. Any sane mind would appreciate them having that strategy nationwide.
So one thing here. Did you all see the size of the guys pushing him out. If you're a leftist and you're a guy, eat steak, lift weights, then you too can push all the Nazis you want around. If you're not training to lift your purple haired big boobed former Goth girlfriend over your shoulders are you really anti fascist
Outing myself as a vegan here, but w/e.
Don't eat meat, eat protein and work out 3 days a week or more (if you can)! And specially if you're vegetarian or vegan, don't hesitate to consume 5g creatine monohydrate per day with a shake (or however else you like to drink it).
Edit: I forgot to write it, but obviously, if you're a woman or anything in between, you should also work out. We all should be strengthening our bodies and minds.
What is a good source of protein for vegans? I am flexitarian just to diminish my impact. But my main source is from cottage cheese / yoghurt and the alike.
Not a vegan, but plant proteins are highly abundant in anything like lentils, beans, rice, nuts, the thing is they aren’t complete proteins, for the most part, so you need to make sure whatever your eating is paired with a complementary amino acid profile. Generally if you’re eating beans or legumes then pair them with a grain or rice. Seitan is a great source of protein if you pair it with the right things because the only amino acid it’s not providing is lysine.
To be honest, I am vegan for over 12 years and my main source of protein at the moment is Tofu (I airfry a whole diced package, 20g protein per 200g), or eat soy chunks, soaked in hot water and pan fried (from the local indian store, 19g protein per 40g dry chunks). Also nice is gluten powder (also called seitan), which is wheat protein isolate and is excellent to be transformed into your own meat substitute (also sausages). That has 24g protein per 30g of dry mass, but for consistency I'd recommend mixing it with something like crushed beans or chickpeas, otherwise it'll be very elastic.
Otherwise I love the taste of the Orgain plant based protein, and of course, as mentioned by other people, eating a variety of lentils, beans, nuts or chickpeas helps to get the extra you need (the first paragraph is to fill up in the evening if you didn't have enough during the day)
Always funny when Nazis think punk venues are a solid place for them to hang
Edit spelling
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.
Oh yeah motorcycle clubs, the bastion of progressive, kind hearted people
That guy must have been suicidal.
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.
Unexpected overwhelm is definitely one of the ways that censorship has been overcome in the past. (eg. Berlin wall, velvet rev)
Bowling concert....?
They making music out of balls rolling down the alley and hitting the pins? 🤔
