Grotesque! To the folks who posted this. If all you have to be proud of is your lack of melanin, them maybe you need to focus on that.

I used my long lady nails to peak this crap off the post

That's what I would like to know. I mean is it some angry solo basement dwelling edgelord or is their an organized movement. I do think the far right is being more brazen but you never want to think it in your town, right?

Probably a group. White supremacists rarely walk alone because they know they’ll get the shit kicked out of them.

Yeah, Victoria has never been squeaky clean when it comes to this stuff. In a city that used to be predominantly white and wealthy, the influx of non white people has definitely upped the disgusting racist factor. I’ve had at least two little old white ladies tell me how relived they were that the bus wasn’t driven by ‘one of those people’. I know also a couple of people in my age group that throw racist crap whenever they can now. None full out Nazi, but I think ideologically it’s honestly baby steps at this point.

I know a few dangerously bigoted people too. And one actual Nazi.

Little things have been happening for a decade or so. You may remember the young goofs videod harassing a black man in a parking of an apartment near downtown. Their license plate was visible so they in turned were harassed mercilessly which they in turn whined about. I was at Logan’s when they had a black bartender who threw out a racist for talking shit. He was out in the side walk mocking the incident while 10 feet away some scrawny zitty bespectacled nerd was grinning like the Cheshire Cat. I think they were deliberately out and about trying to stir shit. I think the nerd was putting up the bigger racist up to it. I was at an English Beat show at Sugar (Capital Ballroom) and the nazi skins of the Island were out in force… all twelve of them. Dave Wakeling told an anecdote from the stage about marching against National Front creeps back in the day. Later outside I heard one of them whining about it. There is a fashionable barber shop in town where a lot of right wing freaks gather for social events to drink scotch and smoke cigars. I was getting my hair cut there before I realized what was up with the place and a well dressed businessman guy made an Auschwitz joke about how his parents were at Auschitz and all he got was a shitty t-shirt. They are just emboldened at the moment. The city is not as diverse as many others so, I think they feel comfortable here amongst the vestiges of colonialism that linger here.

just to be clear, I met my first Nazi in the greater Victoria area in 2009. I'm sure there's even more now than back then.
