Does this haircut make me look like a Nazi?

[SYTFE]

The one's who do that little top knot thing are the worst.

Man bun. Fucking horrible.

We need to talk about a haircut. Also about identity, and hatred, and maybe about the total end of American civilization — but first about a haircut.

You have seen it. It is short on the sides and long on the top. It is clean and tidy, with a military sheen. It’s been popular among young people for several years. But now this haircut is making us ask ourselves, with seriousness that seems unthinkable in 2016: hipster or Nazi?

The same haircut. The exact same haircut.

In the 1930s, Nazis distinguished themselves by wearing swastikas, an easily identifiable marker that made their odious politics clear. The only defining look of today’s white nationalists — a movement that seeks to form a whites-only state — is the haircut, so popular that the leader of one nationalist group tweets under the handle “Fashy Haircut,” short for “fascist.” And there’s nothing inherently wrong with the haircut — as noted, lots of other guys are wearing it these days, too. But that’s what makes it scary.

For the past half-decade, the haircut, when worn by hipsters, has been known jokingly as the “Hitler Youth,” at least according to a 2011 New York Times fashion article, because of its resemblance to the style popular during Germany’s Third Reich. That off-color nickname, one assumes, started in a different political climate, when it seemed we could be a bit cavalier and ironic with such terminology. Back before we started seeing the haircut on literal white nationalists.

Promoters of white nationalism — or the “alt-right,” as some call it — are coming out of the woodwork now. They say they have been emboldened by Donald Trump’s various calls to ban Muslim immigration into this country and deport millions of undocumented Latin Americans. They have a leader in a man named Richard Spencer, who wears the haircut along with his three-piece Brooks Brothers suits. It’s Hitler Youth rebranded as Hitler Yuppie — an insidious way to blend in.

I gotta admit, ever since I read this article a few days ago, every time I see this haircut on people I immediately think "Hitler Youth" now.

Ahhhhh, so this is one of those fake news stories everyone just recently discovered? Good work exposing it!

“We call them ‘nipsters’ — neo-Nazi hipsters,” says Long Nguyen, the co-founder of style magazine Flaunt, using a term that became popular in a 2014 Rolling Stone article. “It’s really important for them to make inroads into young people’s culture, in order to expand their base. It’s a lot easier to do that when they’re stealing the look of a familiar hipster style.”

Nguyen says he first noticed this trend in Germany about a decade ago, when young white nationalists were dressing as hipsters, but also as metal heads and hip-hop aficionados. “It’s a little scary.”

Nah, I keep it looking natural. These aggressive haircuts showing a ton of skin on the sides with a fucking mop on the top look absolutely asinine.

Yes, but those tampons hanging out of your ears look pretty stupid too, princess.

Why don't you tell about how US healthcare rocks and shit.

Nah, i want to hear more about how shaved sides and long on top makes one a Nazi

Fucktard.

 

[norwegen]

Why yes, SYTFE, your haircut does make you look like a NAZI.

Yeah, you'd better stay on this thread, you got hammered on that other thing, best to just move on and not go back.

Hitler Youth haircut. Kind of interesting. No?

Yes. I agree.

There is no question that hairstyles reflect a shift in political attitude, such as the long-hair "hippie" style of the Liberal sixties.

God damn, I can't believe how fucking stupid that haircut is.

This is going to be looked upon like how we look at the mullet today in just a few years.

It's almost a reverse-mullet. Business on the sides...party on top?

No, but your cat is a nazi.

It's the goal of all cats to rule the world and to make humans their slaves.

How do you explain that half the Mexican kids in my city have the exact same haircut? Have you considered the wild possibility that haircuts are fashion and not political statements? Geez Looueez dude, get a grip.

I am not saying that the haircut is a political statement. Most dudes who have this haircut are probably totally unaware of the similarities of the German haircuts of the 20's and 30's. The article is only bringing attention to the similarity -- and conservatives are losing their goddamn minds over it, which is amusing.
