I'm not even sure that you have the right group.

Huh. Weird. It's exactly the same crossed axes though? Like, verbatim it is the same. And for both to have 1919? Seems like far too much coincidence.

I don't know man these situations are sus and I lean towards not taking risks with potential nazis tbh. I don't care whether I'm right or wrong it is worth rejecting people like this on the basis of suspicion alone. If you reject them you'll never get nazis, if you take risks sometimes you'll be wrong and they'll be nazis.

He's listed on this website as a 2002 and 2003 member.

The 2022 pdf does contain a link to the www.trailfixingcollective.com url, but I think it is a reformation group formed in 2021.

For clarity purposes, I am not endorsing or supporting Graham Platner. I only make posts about information that I think is interesting or topical. These are my own personal notes.

That settles that then, assuming that the org is legit and everything. Just an unfortunately coincidence that a dude with an already existing nazi tattoo also happens to have been a member of an org with a nazi number establishment year.

Honestly the dude is a mess and shouldn't be trusted anyway.

I know nothing about this guy, but I'm 100% convinced he's fash trying to blend in amongst the socdems. This is most certainly a dogwhistle, and people on the left are giving him wayyyyyyyyy to much benefit of the doubt for a dude with a fucking totemkopf on his chest.

data-laughing No but you see he doesn't have a totenkopf now, he has a celtic knot! See! Not a nazi!
