I wonder why you would bother. It's not like there's a need to raise awareness about the Nazi problem; most people are pretty much on the same page with it already. If you have a personal problem with Nazism, such as a family member who was victimized by them, then there's probably a more constructive way to express it than by wearing a T-shirt.
Furthermore, the only people who ARE going to respond to your T-shirt are the ones who are offended by it; that is, those who actually are Nazis or something similar. This is not a group of people known for kindness and reason. Certainly we should not submit to such groups as the Nazi Party when we are threatened by them, but really, why tease the animals?
By wearing such a shirt, you would basically be pissing off any Nazi you might meet, and galvanizing them to take action. I guess I just don't see the point. [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]
