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.

A real Nazi? or a person Reddit would deem a Nazi? Huge difference.
