This one looks like it's from a fucking renaissance fair! What the fuck kind of political statement is it even making - that we should return to feudalism?

(By the way, you're referring to more than one nazi, which is nazis, not nazi's.)

Europeans always use chivalric costumes and symbols as national icons. And St. George's Cross is a well-established symbol of English nationalism. It doesn't have anything to do with 'returning to feudalism.'

I would assume it's a reference to the Crusades, or trying to be.

Lol no you don't. Trust me... It's depressing. There was a specific incident a few weeks bCk in portland that I remember. 59 antifa folks said they'd show up (I never said I'd show up, I showed up on a whim) and only 5 (including myself) showed up. It sucked terribly.

Sasha, 18th century costumes referencing the American Revolution and such hardly chivalric, no?

I'd be interested in the US Nazi "scene", especially how they step up, symbolism they use, clothing etc. Here in Germany, we got something called autonomous nationalists. They use things that used to be typically leftist/antifa, like black hoodies and sweaters, buttons, baseball caps etc, quite the contrary to these boondockers-baldheaded-cliche-nazis. They want to dissolve these cliches and want to make it more difficult at demonstrations for police to differentiate between leftists and them. And they're definitely more aggressive, this is what everyone told me. Some years ago, I was at a demonstration in Dresden, where plenty of them showed up and as usually, police didn't give a single fuck when they started destroying shops that had migrant owners. At one point, I got into some argument with two of them and wore a "good night white pride"-button. Later that day when I walked alone to my friend's house, they crossed my way and when they had passed me, they turned around, shouted "Sieg Heil leftist scum b.itch" and beat me up. They stopped when I fell to the ground, going to the hospital wasn't necessary and I guess I can even be "glad" they didn't continue beating the shit out of me. I reported them to the police, but surprise surprise, they weren't found.

Chivalric means relating to chivalry and the knightly class of Medieval Europe. 18th century Colonial outfits are not chivalric.
