If it's just a hobby, I don't mind it.

Here's the thing: The Nazis lost. They were losers. Really awful losers. They only really had power for a little over a decade and only existed for a little over two and a half. Compared to other losers throughout history, they were super-losers.

If you're gonna dress up as a historical loser, at least dress up as someone who actually won for a few centuries. I recommend Romans or Vikings.

But it's just a hobby. Why begrudge it to them?

If you dress up as a Roman Legionnaire after Marius' reforms, but before the use of mercenaries, you're dressing up as a historical winner. :p

While I don't listen to WP music, I do think the SS uniforms are straight badass. I personally don't dress like them or anything, but I have been looking into getting replica uniforms, they're just so damn expensive. ($200 for a blouse D:)

And yet no one complains about people dressing up as pirates who, for their time, were nasty butchers. The amount of emotional nazi-hating I see...well, I can't help but find it a little bit hypocritical to get all bent out of shape for making a joke or collecting a few bits of memorabilia. The Nazis weren't the only butchers in history, and yet they're really the only guys that are demonized to the level they are.

They are expensive and i'm still looking for a fitting hat and better jackboots. My aim is also to get a full Desert Korps uniform, preferbly an officer one like Rommels.
Also when it comes to WP music i'll have to say that some is just outright awful.

Quite debatable, as the main source for that idea (The Black Book of Communism, iirc) counts the Soviet losses in WW2 as "victims of communism".
Anyway I don't "act" as a commie.

, get real it is just listening to angry music, wearing a outfit I like and offend people for the sake of it, if they ask me to stop when they are around I stop becasue i'm not a whiny prick. It is offensive also to eat pork as there are muslims in the area, should I stop that as well?

1.It's NOT offensive to eat pork if muslims are nearby. I never heard a muslim complaining about me strolling nearby with a ham sandwich.
2.If you like to offend people for the sake of it, your business. Of course, don't be surprised if people consider you rude.

Oooh Berlusconi the fascist, my bet is that you are a stone hard politically correct socialist.

Quite not.
1.Being socialist isn't politically correct. At least not in Europe, where the majority is centre-right.
2.I'm not socialist. Socialists are way too centrist.

When would you even use a replica Nazi uniform? I know you don't all live in Chicago... :p

Anyway, the hobby, if it's only a hobby or an ironic thing or whatever, doesn't bother me. Strange, but that's their business.

I feel sorry for them. If someone is still so colossally immature that they think the height of wit is seeing how much they can offend people, it's just...sad. Luckily, most people grow out of being teenage boys eventually.

Oh please, the Soviet policies are responsible of outrageous crimes such as the "Holodomor" (wich have been recognized by the Ukrainians, European Parliment and several states of the UN as an act of genocide and a crime aginst humanity) the "Dekulakization", the Katyn massacre, mass-deportations and prosecutions of politcal enemies and several minorities and the "victims" dying on the battlefield in WW2 are just a small protion of communist crimes.

But what if they do find it offensive? Should you just obey and stop because it is offensive?

If you think socialists are too "center" for you, then i'll just rate you as a bafoon, like those who deny the holocaust.
On the Lega Nord subject, I like all parties who support nationalist conservative democratic ideas. Therefor I also support "Vlaams Belang", "Dansk Folkeparti", "Prawo i Sprawiedliwość" and similar.

Depends on the situation, I might not want to offend my boss, but I might like to offend leftists.

Most WP songs are awful, as they are often high pitched screaming death metal. There's a few songs I don't mind, but they are the rare few.

I know those, they truly suck but those who keep a more old school punk attitude I'm the most interested in.

No. That's why I'm not a Nazi or fascist.


I believe in letting Nazis and fascists having their say as part of freedom of speech. Partly because I believe that they fall down on their face and lose all credibility by the things they stand for and say.

German soldiers, yes.


Nazis, and their crimes? No. That's not to be honoured. It's not deserving. It's depraved and an insult to their victims.
