Which of course still shouldn’t have told them much since the skinhead movement from punk also included people that weren’t Neo-Nazis. Some of them were even activists that fought (including literally for some of them) against the “boneheads.” ---

Nazis totally ruined the tiny square black mustache, it was so happening, too. Now, everyone’s afraid to sport one. It’s hardly fair. ---

You know the second Prime Minister of Israel actually wore a Hitler mustache: [https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/find-a-grave-prod/photos/2008/316/31294909\_122650901947.jpg](https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/find-a-grave-prod/photos/2008/316/31294909_122650901947.jpg) So did Yitzbak Shamir, the seventh Prime Minister of Israel [http://overland.org.au/wp-content/Yitzhak-Shamir.jpg](http://overland.org.au/wp-content/Yitzhak-Shamir.jpg) ---

When I hear “fade haircut”, the first thing that comes to mind is Arsenio Hall, not neo-Nazis. ---

[QUOTE=aceplace57] How short do the sides need to be for a fade? It looks peeled on the sides in photos. I have always asked for a #3 guard on the side and #5 on top. I think it looks nice. Is that considered a fade? Does a real fade uses a #0 or #1 guard on the side? Or maybe no guard at all? [https://goo.gl/images/suhK6o](https://goo.gl/images/suhK6o) [/QUOTE] My partner’s a barber in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood and he does a lot of “skin fades” which as the name suggests, fades down to skin. ---

Damn. Beat me to it. Anyway, the only logical solution here is that Joshua Witt is a leftist actor who was paid by Soros to stab himself, then lie about it, and then purposefully get caught in said lie. Will the left stop at nothing? ---

I’ve got a book of poems by Rudyard Kipling that was printed early in the 20th century. It sports a couple big, gold embossed Swastikas on its spine. I keep it on a bookshelf next to my [Semana Santa poster.](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/d9/23/b0/d923b04471f02fa71c6db38bc7504379--vintage-travel-posters-poster-design.jpg) ---
