Feel this is a good accompanying piece for all the folk insisting on caping for a Blackwater merc wth a nazi tattoo because he said something they liked.

    Having good politics doesn’t mean someone is inherently virtuous. Except platner doesn’t even have that. He just showed up out of nowhere saying he had good politics.

    And, personally? I don’t consider Nazis to be “one of our own”. But apparently that doesn’t matter to “leftists”.

      Nothing about anything that he’s done suggests he’s actually a Nazi. Only this tattoo, a symbol most people don’t even know is a Nazi symbol. A tattoo he has a reasonable explanation for and immediately had covered up.

      Someone who is a Nazi will have other signs, which he doesn’t have.

      You want to believe he’s a Nazi and no amount of counter evidence will sway you.

        And now to editorialize

        A tattoo he has a reasonable explanation for that is now demonstrably a lie and immediately had covered up 20 years after getting it and 5 years after confirming he understood it was related to the SS totenkomp.

        But yeah. The problem is all of us who believe the guy with an SS tattoo who lied about knowing it had SS ties is a nazi.

          If he’s a Nazi, point to literally any other proof.

          Nazis tend to go around spouting Nazi propaganda. Show us some of that, please.

            What, an actual salient argument? You expect too much from these Schumer-bots.
