From the article:
“A lot of bikers, you know, its freedom thing. A lot of bikers want to be free and voice their opinion and I like to cater to what they want. It doesn’t mean that I necessarily believe in everything but, you know, I like to please everybody,” said one vendor, Jenny Alonso.
Alonso said the history behind bikers and swastikas goes back to World War II when US soldiers would bring back Nazi memorabilia they won in the war to hang on their bikes.
“So, we’re kind of honoring that not necessarily that, you know, we believe in Nazis and Hitler, but it’s just kind of a special thing that the US military was able to go and win the war and bring things back as souvenirs and they would put them on their bike,” said Alonso.
Yeah cool please face the wall now. :fash-bash:
if you're wearing nazi paraphernalia and you're not acting in a movie, then you can explain at the hospital (via writing because your jaw is wired shut)
but, you know, I like to please everybody
Says the woman selling Nazi gear
It's not a thing that, to my knowledge, exists yet. I just want one to counter all the car balls I see everywhere. I'm surprised you're the only person to question it.
"The attack was an awful shock to those who had seen the Hell's Angels as pioneers of the human spirit, but to anyone who knew them it was entirely logical. The Angels' collective viewpoint has always been fascistic. They insist and seem to believe that their swastika fetish is no more than an anti-social joke, a guaranteed gimmick to bug the squares, the taxpayers--all those they spitefully refer to as 'citizens.' . . . If they wanted to be artful about bugging the squares they would drop the swastika and decorate their bikes with the hammer and sickle. That would really raise hell on the freeways. . . hundreds of Communist thugs roaming the countryside on big motorcycles, looking for trouble."
I'm about to read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I should see if my Dad has his copy of Hell's Angels
How long do you think that would last before the FBI squashed them, tho?
These guys persist by silently appealing to other Fascist Americans. The only way they could get away with a Commie Biker Gang would be if they were driving around towns sympathetic to Communism.
Bikers, as I mean like Hell's Angels, and what not, are for sure on the take from the government and work with law enforcement. They specifically attack antifa and terrorize portland and shit. They're fascists, just like the rest of the cops and troops out there.
I’m speaking from my personal knowledge here.
:brow: you know them? Don't doxx yourself though.
So what about all those bikers for trump? Are they not real biker gangs?
Yeah, but "my grandpa took war trophies from Nazis, so now I want to wear swastikas to honor him" is deranged.
If you want to honor his memory go kill your own Nazis and take their shit.
Man Bikers fuckin suck, every time they come through my town they come to the bar and start fights, or hit on women less than half their age and make everyone uncomfortable
Wolfenstein somehow being utopian by showing Nazi/KKK solidarity wtf :sicko-laser:
Running a biker wearing a swastika off the highway at 70mph is self defense.
It was pretty funny how for about a decade everything biker related in media had to have a line somewhere to let the viewer know whether the biker is a nazi or not before they seemed to give up on the whole thing. The Easy Rider image got killed off completely.
On the one hand I do want a motorcycle because they look cool, are fuel efficient, and would probably be useful for urban settings. On the other hand, I don't want to be associated with bikers, and I refuse to drive
Fuel efficient, but worse on emissions per mile than a car for several not-CO2 compounds. If you're in an urban setting, just get a bike. They are very cool, though, and honestly that's gonna be worth a lot when the actually meaningful contributors to climate disaster have opened the fifth seal.
That’s part of the plot of the game days gone. Must of the cars are all junk and everyone uses motorcycles to get around
That's good to know, thanks comrade. Guess I'll just keep walking places until it is literally too hot to do so.
I mean, if you want a motorcycle, definitely get one. It literally does not matter at this stage. ☺️
A lot of other things would have to happen first, but I'll keep that in mind.
