Summary
319 MFG is a Shopify store selling hats, shirts, helmets, and vests with overt neo-Nazi slogans and white-supremacist symbolism. Product names include 'DE@TH 2 ZOG' (Death to Zionist Occupied Government), 'GOTT MIT UNS' (a Nazi military slogan), and multiple items referencing the known neo-Nazi brand Curb Stomp.
Unlike pattern-based enforcement cases that require interpretation of rhetoric, the violations here are product names listed directly on a public storefront. Each item is a discrete, sellable product in clear violation of Shopify's hate speech and acceptable use policies.
Evidence
DE@TH 2 ZOG
Reported / Critical
A t-shirt titled 'DE@TH 2 ZOG' — a classic neo-Nazi slogan calling for violence against the 'Zionist Occupied Government.'
GOTT MIT UNS
Reported / Critical
A t-shirt titled 'GOTT MIT UNS' (God with us) — a slogan used by the Nazi military, still adopted by neo-Nazi groups.
LEATHER CURB STOMP CLASSIC
Reported / Critical
A vest directly naming 'Curb Stomp,' a well-known neo-Nazi apparel brand. Multiple other products use 'CS' (Curb Stomp) branding.
EAGLE/IRONCROSS
Reported / High
A t-shirt featuring the iron cross, a symbol widely used by white-supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.
Analysis
This case is unusually straightforward. The violations are not coded, inferred, or contextual — they are the literal product names listed on a Shopify storefront with prices, add-to-cart buttons, and international shipping.
The 'DE@TH 2 ZOG' product alone is an unambiguous hate-speech violation: ZOG (Zionist Occupied Government) is a core white-supremacist conspiracy theory that explicitly targets Jewish people. Shopify's Acceptable Use Policy prohibits content that 'harasses, bullies, threatens, or intimidates individuals or groups.'
The store ships internationally, processes payments through Shopify Payments, and is registered to a physical address in Oakdale, California. Reported contact information includes a Gmail address and a Hawaiian area-code phone number, suggesting the operator may be obscuring their location.
Recommended Handling
- Preserve screenshots and product data for each violating item before any removal.
- Track Shopify's response to the report — if declined, escalate and publish the correspondence.
- Monitor whether the store migrates to a different ecommerce platform if removed from Shopify.
- Investigate whether this is a rebrand of earlier Curb Stomp Manufacturing storefronts that were removed from other platforms.
- Add the physical address and contact info to the target record for future enforcement actions.
