      I made this mistake too once. Skinhead ≠ Nazi. Skinheads were originally just working class kids with a particular aesthetic, generally ska fans.

      Nazi skinheads are a subsect that were/are disavowed, and actively fought, by the larger skinhead community. Far left, actively anti-fascist skinheads were/are definitely a thing.

        Maybe if you’re in Britain.

        In the US, skinhead always means Nazi.

            I guess I stand corrected.

              No worries. I’m not from there, but pretty into the (punk/skin) culture where I’m from.

              I have heard people call the racist/Nazi/whatever shitty thing they are skinheads, “boneheads” instead. Not too sure how common that is though.

              Do I feel comfortable calling myself a skinhead? Not really, because of the connotation many people associate with the term.

      I agree with the sentiment, but I also wish to avoid kidney failure.
