    Thank you! That is very sound advice, indeed! Fortunately, no such tattoos on me. Don’t even much like the Punisher, to be honest, always preferred the nerdier ones.

    As far as talking, completely agree, I can’t see how anyone would consider me a Fascist after getting to know me at least a bit. But gotta get over that first impression before that can happen, I guess…

      Yeah and I’ll also say, when I see a guy who looks like that, while my shields are up a bit, I know enough chill guys who look like that that I’m not assuming. And there’s also the fact that these assumptions do have a bit of classism to them. It’s just a normal look for blue collar men, meanwhile Nazis wore business casual at Charlottesville and its businesspeople who were majorly involved in the rise of modern fascism. Tucker Carlson isn’t a large bearded, bald guy covered in tattoos, but several anti fascists I’ve met have been.

        Thank you! You’re absolutely correct, things have changed. I remember Skinheads being a pretty big thing back in the day, so I guess I still have that image associated with the concept.

        Well, now you can sort of add another one to that list! Except tall, relatively lanky, and only one tattoo:))
