haha here's what happened in thornbury on 15/9/23 haha, shots out to Melb SHARPs shots out to GummoSUPPORT ANTIFASCIST RESEARCH: https://chuffed.org/project/...
The skin heads started as an anti fascist movement in Germany I believe going round beating nazis. Then the aesthetics and vibe were co-opted by racists in London which lead to two distinct ideological groups with identical presentations that’s proliferated wider since is apparantly what my friends older brother skin head said.
He would get into regular fights with racists when we were kids and would tell us about how “the nazi c**ts stole our culture”.
But I mean I honestly don’t actually know in hindsight but I can absolutely promise it started as an antifascist style first before being co-opted.
