That’s not nearly as good of evidence as promised.
The thread doesn’t actually provide any reference to what the totenkopf was besides being a skull. So unless he took the time to research it we’re still at square 1. Really his comment only reinforces the idea that he just believed it was a skull.
You framed it convincingly, but the source is not a blatant as you made it out to be.
The second article was a bit better though.
Honestly reflects a guy I knew that was in the Marines. They got confederate flag tattoos as a unit, because that’s what the unit did. Years later he regrets it and is honestly a great guy. Just made a dumb move at 20.
Franky many of the leftist I know IRL radicalized after their military service. Lot of young kids signed up after 9/11 and saw the shit first hand. They grew to hate it, but it was a process. So overall yeah I can believe a progressive dem went through a similar cycle.
If your main hang up is accountability wait until you hear about the competition
Also “the totenkopf on the dude on the left” shows up as a white blob in that picture. There is no way to make a connection from that shot to anything in real life.
Yeah that was a crazy read by that commentor, but the real point i was trying to make was that people have been saying “totenkopf is an obscure symbol, only WW2 buffs know about it” and then there’s platner active on WW2 history threads about the SS, talking about skulls and Nazi symbolism in the US military. He’s clearly more active in those circles than 99% of the population, which is why I dont give him the benefit of the doubt he didn’t know what it was. It’s not THAT obscure.
Whatever you say man. I just feel like leftists are giving this guy with massive red flags a ton of benefit of the doubt just because they like his (current) politics, and I think there’s a very good chance they’ll regret it.
