I just read about this, and it's amazing. Creative activism for the win!

"If your t-shirt can, so can you."

(With a link to a "help me get out of my neo-nazi group without getting killed or becoming homeless" organisation.)

I think this is awesome but...I thought Germany had strict laws against extreme right wing propaganda?

[theweaselking]

Against Nazi iconography, in fact. And Nazi slogans, etc etc etc.

The National Democratic Party, formerly the German Reich Party, formerly the National Socialist German Worker's Party, is a legal organisation, because while Nazi-specific speech and iconography is banned, being a white supremacist and claiming various Nazi party members as martyrs for the cause is not.

And the concert in question was NPD-sponsored, featuring white supremacist bands.

It's a cute idea if you agree with the sentiment, but I wonder if it will actually change any minds.

Think of it this way... with the "three-k" attitude* these guys** have, it's probably the reluctant spouse doing the laundry and seeing the message anyway.

-- Steve thinks it's excellent targeting for the message.

* can't remember the German off-hand, but the line about women only being important for children, kitchen, and bed thing

** gender of term intended

"Kinder, Küche, Kirche"

Of course, this assumes that neo-Nazis actually follow basic hygiene procedures.
