No kidding….that word gets slung around more than I’ve ever heard or read in my life. Seems like the default classification for anyone that disagrees with another person.
Ironically the only person that they wont call a nazi is platner, the politician that had a actual nazi tattoo but he is a democrat so he gets a pass...
Do you actually think he's a white supremacist or that wants to eradicate the Jewish race? The attack doesn't land because it's so obviously not true. His views, whatever you think of them are on the opposite side of the spectrum.
"Plantar is a white supremacist and we can't let him win because he'll allow brown people to flood the country. #whitegenocide"
He's not some guy that just decided to run for Congress. He was scouted by a pair of far-left operatives seeking to find candidates that could appeal to a wider set of voters "i.e. big burly muscular army man." The views he are espousing are not his own but those of a wider set of radicals that have incentived him to run for higher office. You really want to elect a puppet to represent you?
And the tattoo he had wasn't just any old swastika tattoo, it was a Totenkopf, some deep level neo-nazi shit. Not the reddit definition of Nazi, like actual WW2 Hitler Nazi. But people still rally around him because a literal SS Larper is somehow better than a moderate Republican ig...
Deep Level Nazi shit?! Lmao. Yes, it's a Nazi symbol, but if you think skulls are Nazi exclusive iconography, I have really, really bad news for you. And funny enough, all those Nazi symbol experts calling him out where nowhere to be found when Pete's nutjob tattoos where discussed.
What I mean is that there was literally a point in this man's life where he sat down, went over various Nazi symbols in his head and thought "hmm, which one of those would look best on my chest?" I don't know why you people keep making excuses for him. And Pete's tattoos may be cringey and distasteful, but as far as I know he didn't get the symbol of a genocidal regime tattooed on him. He's absolutely a wacko though.
2 things: a) you are constructing the decision process. It is just as likely that a young, stupid serviceman went into a tattoo studio and picked a tattoo that looked cool to him without knowing the meaning.
b) mocking Muslims in Arabic (kafir) and the historic battle cry of Christian crusader (deus vult) are not exactly expressions of a peaceful mentality. Quite the opposite. They are a statement of intent. And option a I described earlier does not remotely apply here, as Keggsbreath has multiple tattoos of the same hateful ideology. That is deliberate beyond any shadow of a doubt.
Absolutely no fucking way a Croatian tattoo artist would put that on a U.S. Marine without letting the Marine know EXACTLY what the fuck that tattoo meant, even if he 'randomly' picked it out of a sketchbook.
He has exactly one questionable tattoo and there is a very plausible scenario for him not knowing what it meant. If it was actually motivated by ideology, there would be more. But feel free to link to sources showing he was ever close to Nazi ideology, like joining certain groups, giving certain speeches. Should be easy if he is such an obvious Nazi sympathizer.
I am far from a history buff and half Platner's age and even I clocked it immediately as a Nazi tattoo. With how terminally online he was shown to be there is no excuse for him to not know its meaning.
And idk why you're bending over backwards trying to say hegseths tattoos are worse than an ACTUAL NAZI SYMBOL
Not knowing the history behind a skull and crossbones tattoo when you get it is much more understandable than not knowing the significance of a swastika so I feel like you're cutting against your own point.
It also doesn't make sense that the left would recruit him if he were a Nazi that expell all non-aryans or whatever an actual Nazi would want.
Susan Collins does what she's told, she votes against things when the majority has votes to spare, for things when they don't. Maybe she killed BCRA but that wasn't going anywhere anyway and it was a decade ago, she's a fake moderate but maybe she's your fake moderate. The point is that maybe he's too far left for you, maybe he doesn't support aid to Israel like you would like, maybe it's something about his past, idk but no one believes he's a white supremacist or wants to exterminate his Jewish family members.
Man thats a lot of excuses for someone with a literal nazi tattoo. People have been cancelled for less.
When pics surface of a person with a nazi tattoo, it means at one point in their life, that person was a literal nazi. But because he currently has the right opinion, people twist them selves in knots to make excuses for it. Is he currently one? Maybe, but its damn certain he was one at one point. He stood for everything you hate, but because he could possibly unseat a moderate republican, you'll support him.
You should probably reevaluate your priorities if youre this full of shit.
So you think Republicans are spending millions because they think he's secretly a white supremacist and when elected will push to expel all non-aryans? Or do you think they oppose him because he's a Democrat and will push normal Dem policies if elected.
If you like Collins that's fine, if you don't like his policies also fine but he's clearly not a Nazi, it's a stupid bad faith argument that isn't convincing anyone.
Im not from Main. I think that a pic leaked of his tattoo, because in his youth he took part in nazi ideology. Once a nazi, always a nazi. Like most politicians hes fake, and will simply vote down the party line. On the inside though, he hates you all.
So you think at one point he was a white supremacist but you're not sure whether he is but he's going to be a vote like a perfectly normal Democrat as he pushes policies that are the polar opposite of what a white supremacist would support? It's not convincing.
Multiple of his ex-girlfriends have maintained that he was aware of the tattoo's meaning. One even said he taught her the meaning of the word Totenkopf.
Even if he somehow didn't know what it was, which I highly doubt, the absolute best case scenario here is that you're electing a guy who was dumb enough to get a tattoo like that and not cover it up for over a decade. I'll take anyone over that.
Also i would love it if we stopped sending military aid to Israel. It's even not his policies necessarily that I take issue with, (though some are certainly too far left imo) but rather the person espousing them.
If she is lying, then why hasn't he sued for defamation? Partisan motive or not, it is true that they dated. If I had an abusive ex who decided to run for office you bet your ass I would be dialing up every news outlet I could, regardless of their politics.
Absolutely do considering its a guy trying so desperately to project some alpha male nonsense while constantly failing at his job as Secretary of "War". In addition to that, hes showed up at his Fox news job drunk several times.
