Where did it all start I really wonder? I know its use in black blocs. But where did the whole thing come from.

Ahh interesting didnt know the connection with the ftra. Quick question on the FTRA why the swastika symbolism?

Well I was aware that the symbol has been used as a religious symbol in many beliefs. But never about the movement meaning of it. Truly interesting thx.
 
i use the bandanna for when shits flying around everywhere on trains, for black blocs, and its amazing for wiping sweat off your face.

Bandannas have a million and one uses and everyone should carry one.


i almost got my ass kicked in montreal by some "Crip" cause my bandanna was black. guy walks up to me and is just like is that blue bandanna, ahaha I look down at it and look at him like hes crazy and Im like uhhhhh no. and he starts to go on about how hes a crip and bla bla hahaha. fuckin lamers.
 
mine's pink.

it's pink cuz pink is my favorite color. pink is pretty.

I got's a purple one too. and gray and black. none of it means anything to me.

I'm such a fuckin girl it hurts sometimes.
 
oh.. and native american's used the swastika to mean peace. it's also readily seen in ancient asain art. it usually always meant peace or good luck... but then hitler fliped it over and put in on a red flag and ruined it.
 
My bandanas black and well white. I dont really over all haha drift from those colors. Though a pink one does sound pretty awesoem.
 
I have a green one, eco-friendly I guess. I was under the impression that they were in use for keeping the shit out of your face on trains, but also cuz they fell in with the western motif of most folky trainkids. Bandit style.
 
i have had so many bandanas... i can't seem to carry one for longer than a week. or ill puke all over it and abandon it. i was eggscited about my first bandana, which i stole about a week after being on the road. But one fateful evening in the parking lot of the colorado red rocks theatre, someone i knew fucked up their hand all drunk and falling all over the place. i thought i wrapped it around his hand... but when he got back from the drunk tank it had vanished. i lost my love for banadas. they are indifferent to me.

dont have much use for a bandana as it is now, so i just wrap my last one around my dogs neck.
 
I have a blue one, it was $0.99 at the gas station.

Regarding FTRA and National Socialist symbols etc. I imagine that allot of them adopt such symbols for the same reason that members of the Hells Angles did back in the 60's. Some H.A.'s adopted NS symbols more as a big F you to society rather than any racial reasons. Face it nothing pisses off Joe Q public more than a big crome Swaz on the back of your Harley.
 
Bandannas are key for wiping your ass when you are in the desert and have one to spare.
 
eh alotta kids these days are comin up with the idea that color=experience, personally i only kick down black ones to cats whove been ridin fer a while.. but thats cuz i like black ones. hard to part with. i wear a black one round my neck, cuz my bro kicked it down in denver after my other one got cut off my neck a while ago, and its gonna stay there till it disentigrates off my neck
 
I work at a club where we don't allow our customers to wear bandanas inside because it's Jersey and there's lots of gangs here, so we don't need people flashing colors and starting brawls. As a result, I have about twenty black bandanas and lots of red ones too. I don't feel badly about having them, because I told each and every one of their owners they could bring them back to their cars or leave them with me, and not one did. Fucking lazy teenagers.

I think another meaning of the swastica was symbolized protection. I'm also pretty sure that's why Hitler used it as his emblem on EVERYTHING. The man was incredibly superstitious, and very into the occult. It can be found on many a Ouija board, which I know because I used to think they worked, and then I realized they were all made by Parker Brothers. Anyway, my two cents.
 
I have a few black bandana's. The are great for keeping your head, and neck warm..and to give the lazy bulls the thumbs up as you pass on the roll-by at 4 in the morn, and you know they are to cold and lazy to stop the train.
