At least they left skinheadism for the most part, because it was a very easy identifier of political extremism. Most Hungarian skins at least became "football fans", and no longer use razor to shave their heads. Even heard of some of the remaining ones getting doxxed by more dapper-looking alt-righters, to keep the image of "moderation" they go for.

That's even worse. They infiltrated another subculture, and a much bigger one - football fans.
