Came across this article by Alex Mell-Taylor who's some sort of trans activist if the photo on his article is anything to go by.
Anyway, it's about white supremacy online clothing stores. I had just started reading and I noticed a very snazzy hi-top red sneaker emblazoned with an Iron Cross on the ankle part of the shoe.
It just didn't look right so I zoomed in on the image and saw it was a photoshopped cross on the shoe.
I Google Lens(ed) the sneaker and it led me to a stock pair of red sneakers.
What's the deal with journalists and writers these days and lying and deceiving their audiences?
People actually pay to read these articles...
Don't fecking lie to them...

It's because demand for Nazism far outstrips supply. They have to fight the foe regardless of whether it is there or not.

A stupid idea to doctor a photo, but you're kinda wilfully missing the wood for the one very obviously photoshopped tree. For example, here are some quotes from the merch sites actually linked:

https://will2rise.com/elements/pages/about/
QuoteAt Will2Rise, we go out of our way to make sure all products and designs are created by those who share our values and identity.  All products are made in Eastern Europe, so not a single hand touches the production that is not of like mind.
QuoteAll items are made by people of European descent, meaning all money goes into the pockets of our own, in return, keeping our people employed and helping families.
QuoteWe work to bring you top quality nationalist apparel. ... For our people, made by our people!

Have a peruse here:

So, there's one image that's been doctored, but otherwise all the actual content of the article itself seems to be legit. I mean, yeah, who cares? Let people buy and wear whatever ridiculous slogan t-shirt they want; they won't look any more or less idiotic than folk wearing "I drink and I know things" t-shirts, but your critique is still fairly weak, and the "foe" identified demonstrably is there, even if it's probably not a foe actually worth identifying.

Using misinformation of any kind to further their point brings everything into question. Simple as. Christ.

Can't wait for my summer collection of t-shirts and caps to arrive  8)

I clicked that link too smart ballix. Either way the 'author' is a sly underhanded gobshite for putting the image there in the first place, and right at the start too.

Nah, the author just should have expected this reaction to the illustration from defenders of the faith.

Defenders of the faith? Another subconscious turn to the dark side there, Chris. JP is rubbing his hands in delight.

And it's yet another one that works perfectly as a J.Priest reference too! Not to be confused with J.Priestley, of course *swoon*

Your arguments are getting thinner than a trannys hairline lad.


"Defenders of the faith". That description is dripping in irony.

If you clicked on the image credit link provided by the author but only told us about your elaborate and pointless wild goose chase, was that being underhand or covering up a silly mistake? Personally, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt  ;)

Watson enters, stage right.

You're about as enlightening and funny as cancer.
