I would simply not get a tattoo that is a nazi tattoo. If I wasnt aware of the fact, I still wouldnt get a dumb fucking skull tattoo.
Slop.

I like when they go, 'nobody has seen this weird obscure nazi symbol' and it's on the hat David Mitchell has in the 'Are we the baddies?' sketch which everyone has at least seen a still image of
The entire sketch is literally about that specific symbol lmao. They discuss it specifically.
It feels like a layer of insincerity how people sometimes name antisemitism as a necessary component of being a fascist. I don't think I've seen it so much before the Oct 7 genocide began.
Is it that hard for electoralists to find someone who didn't have a giant totenkopf on their chest to rally around? Its a totally unforced L to go out on a limb for this guy, but these Jacobin types really want to die on this hill lol
I recall he had quite a few comments that were basically celebrating killing brown people. Ugh.
Pretty sure Israel says that you're anti-semitic if you don't constantly wish for the death of all brown people.
Okay, he’s not a nazi. He just displayed the mental acuity to walk around for years with a Nazi tattoo without checking to see what the hell it meant, nice qualification for a senator.
I'm willing to believe that he's not a nazi, but only if they submit that he is consequently a huge fucking dipshit, something I consider equally unqualifying for holding public office.
Even if we believe he didn't actually know what his Totenkopf tattoo was in 2007 and nobody told him - it's a 100% certainty that in 2009 he did know. He couldn't reup in the Marines because of it.
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Weird how he also uses his long time in the military as a reason it couldn't have been a nazi symbol
i believe he is a nazi (cause he is a warcriminal), but he didn't know what tattoo meant (cause he is a dum-dum).
i also don't understand why on earth are socdems attaching to him in remora-like fashion, why would you want your voice of opposition to entity be nazi tattoo-ed blackwater mercenary. even if he wins, it wouldn't be good
(also among 40 replies only 1 mentions his military warcriminality, and these are the people self-selecting as reading ben burger, the voice of fedcobin)
gasp you mean people can lie about themselves online?
I don't know why people give a fuck about platner when despite all his shit the median democrat with a nice smile and suit is two thousand percent more evil than him. the totenkopf is just tattooed right on their heart where it can't be seen.
Isn’t that exactly what Dems say about republicans?
Those people aren't being framed as socialists. The problem with Platner is now people are rallying around a guy with a Nazi tattoo who loves the military and saying "this is how we build socialism." So it seems important for US leftists to say "hey, no, that ain't it"
Fair enough. Sometimes I do wonder who it is we're waiting for, though.
for people to vote for, I don't think we should be waiting for anyone. I think we should be explaining to people that building socialism is something we do now outside of bourgeois politics, in a way that is inherently antagonistic to bourgeois politics
