If Warren is endorsing someone instead of pulling a 
like she did with Bernie then you absolutely know he's 100% shit even if the nazi tattoo didn't convince you
Yeah I thought she didn’t endorse Bernie because he was so sexist. Maybe she hasn’t seen Platner’s Reddit
Fox News getting mad about Nazi tattoos is fake outrage. Pete Hegseth has as many Nazi tattoos as Graham Platner, if not more. I would be surprised if Kegsbreath was not mandating everyone in the US military to get Nazi tattoos.
I don't trust Platner. I read through many of his deleted reddit comments and he explained on his reddit account that he knew what Nazi tattoos are and defended other people in the military having them as well.
However, the idea that Fox News is outflanking anyone on being against Nazi tattoos is absurd. You might say the headline is 'bad faith'. They're only pretending to be against Nazi tattoos. If they actually hated Nazis tattoos, they would have criticized Pete Hegseth for it.
Unless I'm mistaken and forgetting one of Pete's... Pete has "Nazi" tattoos (the crosses and "infadel") whereas Platner had a NAZI tattoo like the SS would've had on their uniform.
Distinction without difference here maybe idk
Pete Hegseth has crusade tattoos to symbolize that he's a christian fascist who is religiously motivated to kill Muslims. He thinks that the tattoos represent a war against Muslims and he wants to kill Muslims.
I don't a see a distinction between American Christian Fascists and German Fascists.
The difference is like between weasels and stoats.
totes!
i don't know why i felt like playing an annoying lib. bad mood today I suppose.
It's that thing where conservatives are nazis and love nazis, but for some their American nationalism overrides all else so they can have their cake and eat it too by rhetorically condemning one very specific historical batch of nazis and their symbols, while advocating for all the same shit. Similar to "democrats are the real racists" while also being wildly, proudly racist.
Yeah, it’d be nice if I wasn’t being meta-dabbed by Fox News
oh to have a brain like a physics textbook frictionless sphere, so i could understand who is the target audience for this headline
It's obviously us
Ussy
It's for chuds that don't like when libs call them Nazis can now 
at libs "being the real Nazis"
Edit: which was your point, I suppose
This is an aspect I wanted to zoom in on. So Fox News, which has brain-broken your parents and grandparents into thinking there is no such thing as fascism and that's just a bad word that liberals call you, and libs are being hysterical when they call someone a Nazi, can actually recognize a Totenkopff when they see one?
The inconsistency is half the point. They don't really have beliefs. They have things they say to indicate that they are part of the in-group that should be protected but not bound by the law

I've def heard the "who this is for" demographic elaborate that point in a specific context without even realizing they were saying this or thinking that someone might not agree with the sentiment.
they are now aware of one specific totenkopf on one specific person, that specific totenkopf is bad. they will never engage with any other totenkopf in any other context until told to
you cannot underestimate this specific strain of boomer and that's not a warning, it's literally impossible
You're right on the mark here and it's important for me to keep this in mind now as I'm low key being expected to show up at an extended family function coming up and it's like, I don't know if that's going to happen familia :D
The average fox news viewer is a boomer who grew up on stories of heroic Americans defeating Nazis, they are seen essentially as cartoon villains who disappeared in 1945. This headline is just "look how comically evil Democrats are being"
No one here is realizing he was actually just about to get a red prohibition circle tattooed on top of it before you wokeazoids started cancelling him.
It's not a totenkopff It's a NOtenkopff
That headline is 
democrats staying outflanked at all times
YOU MUST VOTE FOR THE LITERAL, GENUINE NAZI TO DEFEAT TRUMP SO WE CAN GO BACK TO BRUNCH AND PRETENDING NOTHING IS WRONG IN THE WORLD
my detector screen just says overload
It's purity politics to preclude him from running for office, he only had a literal Nazi symbol on him for like 20 years
excluding literal blackwater mercenaries from your party is purity politics
You think she has a hexbear account?
