    “Hammerskins” sounds like a bunch of guys who hang around smashing each other’s genitals with hammers

      The stupidest thing about it is that the name is based on some imagery from the film for The Wall by Pink Floyd which very much made the point of “Fascism bad”

        Sometimes satire is too good and just looks like how it is for the people who believe what you’re satirizing.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Germany has outlawed Hammerskins, a neo-Nazi group known for its role in organising far-right concerts and selling racist music.

    The German authorities described the ban as “a hard blow against organised right-wing extremism” and said it was putting an end to “the inhumane actions of an internationally active neo-Nazi association”.

    The group has, for example, been linked to a venue called Hate Bar in the western German state of Saarland, where police made arrests for the showcasing of banned symbols during far-right concerts as recently as April this year.

    The German domestic intelligence agency previously said the group had also set up Germany’s biggest far-right martial arts event, called Fight of the Nibelungs, which has been banned since 2019.

    Blood and Honour had close contacts to members of a neo-Nazi group that carried out 10 racially motivated murders in Germany.

    Germany’s domestic intelligence agency estimates there are 38,800 people in the country’s right-wing extremist scene, with more than a third of them considered “potentially violent”.

    organising

    That would require a minimum of functional cell brains, something that’s lacking in that whole group.

      The current political climate would suggest far right groups are actually pretty good at organizing and it’s the left who needs to get their shit together and mobilize.

          Who said anything about Biden?

          Putin invaded Ukraine by himself, and the rest of the civilized world is against it. Not really a surprise that the US is also against Russia’s constant land grabs.
