The company whose logo is seen alongside sports stars LeBron James and Gareth Bale sells far-right merch from China for cheap. With just a couple of taps you can buy neo-Nazi band T-shirts and White Pride pendants. If want some variance in your fascist dictatorships you can even get your own portrait of Mussolini (“150g high quality Kraft paper”!).

Here are just a few examples of what can be found on the Wish marketplace:

Skrewdriver band T-shirt with Celtic Cross

Skrewdriver is probably the most famous neo-Nazi punk band to come out of Britain, and as such is revered among ageing skinheads. You can show your support for this vile outfit by sporting a T-shirt from Wish, reduced down to the low price of £12 (plus shipping). If the shirt design is too subtle the Celtic Cross in the centre should make sure people know you’re proud of your race.

WW2 era Nazi propaganda for sale on the Wish app

One of the most brazen items sold on the app is a high-quality print of a disgusting anti-Semitic propaganda poster used by the Nazi’s during the World War 2. A caricature of a Jewish man peers from behind the flags of the allied powers with the caption “Hinter der Feinmachten: der Juden” — “Behind the enemy powers: the Jews”. Just £3!

A satisfied Wish customer

Amongst the listings are also items emblazoned with the Black Sun (this t-shirt and pendant), the Totenkopf (this flag and badge), and other such symbols. These emblems have been used by Nazi regiments throughout history but might not have the recognisability of the swastika, a prohibited symbol in some parts of the world. But if you do want to show your allegiance so boldly there’s always swastika ear studs to buy for cheap. It’s not known how many Buddhists are buying these.

All these racist stocking-fillers are listed alongside plastic fish slippers and cheap laser pens. It’s an app that has already been in trouble for listing explicit items like sketchy sex toys and stun guns next to innocent bits of tat.

Wish sponsoring UFC events

Their adverts have been prominent in sports since they started growing in popularity. From MMA to the NBA, their logo can be seen hovering by the heads of sports stars giving interviews or slapped on their uniforms.

Wish has enormous reach. The owners recently became billionaires from the company’s ridiculous valuation. Their low-cost Nazi merch is freely available to customers across the globe. The owners are already diving into their vats of money — do they really need to aim for the neo-Nazi market?
