nazis and skateboarding are deeply rooted
still can be seen wherever you go
always just an accident
seems like those transition guys always happen to stumble upon the wrong clipart folders
funny part is america thinks they are the entire world and racism is black vs white vs east asian
when its fucking clear that facism has killed millions of jews and calls every middle eastern person a terrorist
but im pretty sure you can have a chill sess with them if youre black or east asian that likes beer
Pretty sure that "SS" is Stratosphere Skateboards chill
But the Nazi ss was first, and it’s an obvious derivative of that well-known usage. despite what you interpret it as.
Most people will automatically associate it with Nazi Germany, as almost no-one knows Stratosphere.
If Stratosphere is in fact the real meaning, why didn’t they pick a less controversial way of writing the S’s?
i knew it was stratosphere right away. is this a skate forum or a global history forum?
didnt know what stratosphere was, checked it out and yes the s in their logo is an OG cut out SS nazi logo.
even worse that they think its cool to do SS tags to make it clear it refers to nazi germany.
nothing more important than to know and teach history even when we as a collective are on a skate website.
if somebody knows them or the owner please tell them to stop. its not cool or edgy.
always felt weird when those anti hero dudes would roll up with eagle on their boards, fucking independent trucks with the iron cross on it and at worse are sponsored by stratosphere skateboards (looking at you grant).
it all CLEARLY refers to every single logo nazi germany has used.
