For anyone who has read my previous posts about racism in Germany and thinks that there isn't a problem should read this Fascist fashion.

Tönsberg, which defines its inventory as "urban street wear," moved into Rosa-Luxemburg-Strasse 18, an emblematic number for Adolf Hitler's initials (1=A, 8=H). The store also carries clothing by the brand Thor Steinar, a well-known label worn by followers of the rechtsextremismus (extreme right).
Is it possible that a country without Germany's relatively recent (in european terms) culture of anti-semitism would have anomalies like this?

Deja vu. Link to topic

I dunno. This is all news to me. But I checked out the company website http://www.thorsteinar.de/

It doesn't look to me any different than the "urban streeetwear" sold by any number of companies. You can find the same stuff anywhere in any German city. I mean if you go banning grey cargo pants, half the men in Offenbach will be walking around naked.

Somebody explain this one to me.

You need to read the page more carefully.

Guys link at top of page:

A Jewish friend of mine actually took his little brother into Tönsberg during his first-ever visit to Germany, after apparently exhausting the city's memorial circuit. In what can only be described as a symbolic "fuck you" to anti-Semite Neo-Nazis everywhere, the two marched in and browsed. They returned unscathed but with stories of a cashier who tried to incinerate them with her eyes and a resident baby pit bull bred to "eat Jews."
Apparently dogs can be Nazis as well.Bastards.

I did, and was instantly appalled.

Serious stuff.

Edit: parnell beat me to it.

I did a search for Thor Steinar and related topics before starting this thread. But at least (as far as I know) the link to this site hasn't been posted yet.

No, you need to actually make your points rather than simply directing people to a link.

You've been keydecked and it had nothing to do with search

I did make a point in my first post, but I was only really intending to start a discussion, not go off on a rant straight off the bat.

Thor Steinar is a bit different than people who shave their heads.

I'll summarize the research you could do if you were really interested in exonerating this exemplary German company. Their first logo was a poorly disguised swastika. There's a picture of it on the wikipedia article if you doubt this. The logo was outlawed in Berlin but, oddly, not Brandenburg. Their latest is the Norwegian flag, a move which has the Norwegian government suing them (it's illegal to use flags commercially). It's no secret that the Nazis were busy developing their own religion based on Norse gods and forwarded some Nordic, Aryan ideal for people.

Click around some of the Steinar pages and you'll run into plenty of Nordic superiority and a seeming love for black, red and white in the many faux logos on their clothes.

Unlike various other hooligan/supremacist appropriated brands, Thor Steinar's intent was never anything but malicious. I'm continually shocked at the level of naziism that's supported and tolerated by modern-day Germany but have yet to decide what that should mean for my life (and my two bi-national children).

Run for the hills! Hide! Close your eyes really, really tight and don't look outside!

Naziism was a religion and drew heavily on Nordic mythology. Not Norwegian mythology, Nordic, the same gods which were worshipped a couple thousand years ago here as well.
black, red and white
So you're neither a graphic artist nor a social or biological anthropologist or you'd know that the strongest colours are... red, white and black. You might want to read Robin Allott's 1974 Some Apparent Uniformities Between Languages in Colour-Naming. After black and white, the first colour humans tend to distinguish linguistically is red. You don't make words for things which don't interest you. There's a lot of psychology behind black, white and red.

woof.
