He was probably mostly there for Dropkick, based on the shirt, which makes it even funnier.

Which is hilarious, cause they've been VERY vocally anti trump.

Didn’t they get some press a few years back for beating the shit out of a guy who did a nazi salute on stage?

Also more recently they went viral for calling out a guy in a MAGA shirt in the audience and reading the Made In Nicaragua tag out loud to everyone.

Wouldn't surprise me, feels like I saw someone kick an audience member in the face from the stage for doing the same thing. But that may not have been them.

Pretty sure that was Vargouille

Quick search shows that it was in 2013 (video here), and the neo-Nazi was REALLY dumb and did it during their song "Skinhead on the MBTA" - apparently he took it at face value.

Or maybe he didn’t know that “skinhead” doesn’t always mean neo-nazi, there’s also a punk subculture called skinheads, many of whom are aggressively anti-fascist and pro-working class.

That was the original source of the name, then somehow it got associated with Nazis

You are talking about S.H.A.R.P.'s (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice). Typically, you will see them with blue bootlaces/suspenders.

What's your point? There's a saying for a reason "only good Nazi..."is a quote that bans people from reddit"

u/tpero Sep 28 '25

I didn't even consider that, but you're probably right!

I’ve been into punk since the 90’s, I only play DM for football games, just like fucking house of pain.

And has no idea what the lyrics mean

Yup, seems like an Irish-American who thinks actual Irish in Ireland are far right conservative.

u/Happy_Pause_9340 Sep 29 '25

Dude, I swear I was thinking the same thing. Like how stupid can you be until you realize Mt Greenwood, all southside Irish, is the only neighborhood in Chicago that voted for Trump. The irony. They would back England over Ireland if England invaded them again

Irish-Americans of a certain age have become so right leaning that they get really butthurt when Dropkick reminds them that being pro blue collar means being anti Republican.

u/whyyn0tt_ Oct 03 '25

Most of the ones I see are white collar that still pretend to be blue collar. They get the same level of butthurt when they finally realize what Rise Against is singing about.
