just like Biden Platner being in the Democrat party makes this acceptable
if Platner would have been a Republican headline would be all about his racist past
If he were republican he'd either openly admit to it and boast about it or he'd deflect and deny it. Elon did exactly that with his Nazi salute. He still hasn't admitted that was shitty. What you see from Platner is what so many right wing bigots couldn't bring themselves to do and likely drives them further into their ignorant hateful positions. He admitted it was a mistake and he took actions to rectify it. Everyone does dumb shit when they're younger. Owning the mistake and growing from it makes you a better person. Doubling down on it and denying it makes you shitty. Don't be shitty.
Sure, and you can't come back from some of it.
He had this tattoo for SEVENTEEN YEARS. How do you go that long without realizing it's a totenkopf?
Because most people don't discuss Nazi symbolism on a regular basis?
Hes a veteran who made lists of obscure battles for fun, if you believe he had no idea the meaning of it you're dillusional or a bot. He has in the past refered to it by the german name the Nazis gave it. And since Trumps first terms many many people have looked more into that imagery since it's becoming more common, so that's not even a strong claim, they do discuss it now more than any time since the war itself.
You're telling me this Marine never watched a WW2 documentary?
That's great and all, but you shouldn't elect Hitler shortly after he killed Hitler. It's a great first step, but treat it as such.
Jesus fucking Christ is nothing good enough for your purity tests!?
How common are SS tattoos in the USA that this is considered a purity test? I knew things are bad down there, but JFC
Observe our military, large parts of the south, northwest, and isolated rural corners of New England
No wonder the country is so fucked if you're at the "we can't judge, because who among us hasn't had a Nazi tattoo at one point?" stage.
Ever seen American History X?
Well maybe the Repubelicans shouldn't be doing Nazi things then if they don't want to be called Nazis.
Mama always says Nazi is as Nazi does.
Sure. That's why Pete Hegseth was chased out of public life in shame as soon as everyone found out about his Deus Vult tattoos.
Mainstream media isn't soft pedaling this because they like Democrats, they're doing it because they like Nazis. Nazis have already coopted the Republicans, and our billionaire overlords would like nothing more than to see them coopt the Democrats too.
Lol what?
