If this guy was actually a Nazi he’d be fast-tracked in the Republican party instead of trying to play on hard mode rehabbing his image as a working class Democrat. You don’t even have to cover your tattoos up as a Republican, they just let you be secdef
Yeah it seems like that’s all they’ve got. There are 3-ish of these folks astroturfing up and down the entire thread.
Perhaps they’re on someone’s payroll, good to see no one’s buying it except themselves. They’re exceedingly good at wasting everyone’s time and energy (including their own) with this weak af reasoning.
I think you’re more of a Nazi than Platner. He got a pirate tattoo he later regretted. You’re branding people with lifelong Scarlet Letters for innocent acts, declaring people inhuman for the most mild of actions. I wouldn’t call you a Nazi, but you’re definitely displaying more Nazi tendencies than Platner is.
Yeah, it’s so bad faith it’s comical. It’s ridiculously transparent. You could create a police line up of various deaths head iconography, from pirate flags to black death symbolism to US military units, with a few Nazi ones thrown in. Then ask these mosquitos sliming about Platner if they can identify the Nazi ones. I imagine 90% of them would fail that test.
Frankly, unless they’re an anti-fascist activist or a historian, anyone with that level of encyclopedic knowledge of SS symbols is a little sus. If someone told me they had that level of knowledge of Nazi symbolism, I would ask them if they also have that level of knowledge of other famous military or authoritarian movements. Do they also have such knowledge of Soviet, Chinese, Roman, or ancient Egyptian military symbolism? Do they study military iconography of all sorts? Or just the SS stuff? Honestly, I think anyone with that level of SS knowledge is telling on themselves.
Maybe I’m crazy, but “guys I grew out of the murderous Nazi beliefs” just doesn’t cut it for me. Especially for someone running for office.
They might even be telling the truth. Don’t care, you were a fucking Nazi so I will never trust you with the levers of power.

It’s there any Nazi ideology you can quote? Or are we still talking about a covered up tattoo?

Plus they have an encyclopedic knowledge of Nazi symbology and expect everyone should as well
