To be fair, I didn’t even know what a Totenkopf was before yesterday. Yes, I’m an American zoomer. This goes to show how shite our US history public education is.
And Platner said that he underwent multiple inspections by the military. Not one of those times did the military point out that his tattoo was a hate symbol. Should they have? Would they have? Clearly not.
Now that he knows the “truth”, whether you agree that this is his first time learning about the symbol or not, he needs to cover it up or have it removed. Post pictures on social media. Make it a big thing so the fascists and tankies don’t call you a communist and Nazi all at the same time.
If he doesn’t get it removed, well then I’m not sure if I want to back him.

He has to do more than get it removed.
