According to Reddit comments he wasn’t a Nazi, but a biker. Biker gangs have a complicated history with the iconography, to the point where even the non-white groups use the symbols.
The guy has SS runes on his T-Shirt. If you wear SS runes, you’re a nazi (or insanely unexucated and stupid), and it doesn’t matter if you’re also a biker.
No. Bikers do not have a “complicated history” with Nazi iconography. Maybe some WWII veterans could have an excuse because they were killing Nazis and were displaying their captures, but no one today has any excuse.
You know what you call a non-white person wearing Nazi symbols? A Nazi.
The comment had a link to a documentary, the original biker gangs used captured nazi iconography since they were all veterans. It then morphed with the next generation and continued to change until biker today do not recognize the symbols as nazi and associated them with club founders.
“Complicated history” of bikers aside–and we CAN toss it aside because this is today–TODAY, wearing such iconography is inexcusable. This guy 100% knows what that SS symbol represents TODAY, and chose to wear it where he did. Stop making excuses for Nazis.

I guarantee you they know what the symbols mean. Why would you wear a shirt with a symbol you didn’t understand? Let alone getting them as tattoos.
I have a shirt that’s a portrait of three huskeys. I don’t understand it, but I wear it because it’s hilariously corny.
The key word in that comment was “symbols”. The Nazi SS aren’t esoteric knowledge.

Guess they better grow up then
I think that you should have done your due diligence before stepping up to defend a nazi (potential or otherwise)
