A lot of people have a lot to say about why the totenkopf is "not just" a nazi thing. Very niche opinion.
Its actually a ukrainian patriotic symbol <3
Okay but where's the fucking lie
That particular point has been driving me up a wall! It's the fucking SS Totenkopf not some obscure nazi dogwhistle?!
The Nazis just got the little badges for their hats at the surplus store, silly.
I think it is pretty obscure for just random, non-history-nerd people from places where the OG Nazi party never had a presence. I would be surprised if anyone I know in Australia would peg it as a specifically Nazi symbol (though probably at least some would recognise it as being a generically evil symbol because of its association with fictional Nazis). But Platner, a WWII nerd who got the tattoo in a country where Nazi symbols are illegal to display, was always very obviously extremely aware of what he was getting.
They should go down to a local tattoo parlor and ask for it then lol see how fast they get thrown out. Anyone who knows anything and isn’t acting in bad faith knows that.
I do believe the part about him getting it in Croatia lol. Your suggestion wouldn't work there.
It is however from what I can see illegal to display Nazi symbols in Croatia, presumably including the totemkopf... So he would in fact have to have specifically asked for it.
It's "illegal" like they tolerate it openly aside from big swastika flags
Ah, okay. Fair.
People saying it's punk as if punks haven't had to actively root out people who accidentally show up with fash symbols and that we haven't been doing this since forever.
It happened before this, but the 90s were a wild time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritage_Front
Like seriously. I have never been part of the punk scene but I at least know who the fucking Dead Kennedys are.
well yes, but they're right. the totenkopf is not just a nazi thing, it's also apparently an american socdem thing.
