so, you decided to defend a blackwater Merc with a nazi tattoo by complaining about those who pointed it out. and you’re so making excuses for him, even after the rape allegations.
are you sure you want to be that kind of person?
Comment on Context is for people that read US news

PS. Yes, that’s how gaslighting works. The first to call it is being gaslighted. Not the person saying that words are meaningless and are equal to Elon’s imaginary words. gtfoh

Now, this is gaslighting. Bizarre you try it on a public forum with written record.

I am not defending a Blackwater Merc that run for politics with Nazi tattoos who has rape allegations.
The bar couldn’t be lower.
Now I know that if there is a Blue Trump idiots will vote for him

Dude.
Dude.
There are Celtic symbols that Nazis like to use that make you wonder if there person is a Nazi or just ignorant of what that symbol looks like.
This ain’t that.
This is a 100 percent Nazi tattoo. Don’t blame the world for your ignorance, or try and justify your ignorance by ascribing it to the world. This is your ignorance.

he had that tattoo for 18 years. Did he never see an SS uniform in a movie or something? Did he never see a picture of a concentration camp guard? Pretty sure I’d recognise my tattooes if I had any. Here is him commenting under one such picture undelete.pullpush.io/r/CombatFootage/…/ehbh3n6/?c…
This exact skull is what SS deaths head units are named for, you know, the ones that were working the concentration camps? It’s so well known that this is the skull the “are we the baddies” sketch is about. You can see it everywhere in pictures about the death camps. And this guy was frequenting military history subs.

I was that day years old when I learned what a totenkopf was. A basic picture would’ve made me say “Oh, nice pirate tattoo.” Even after he gets the tattoo, it wouldn’t come up in conversation much if it’s under his shirt, and not in his own field of vision.
I have watched movies about the holocaust and that particular symbol never comes up. I don’t know why people so readily assume it must be common knowledge.
“But you know now!” Yes! And so did Graham! So what’s the point?

I love how the main defense is “bro we all are so ignorant about history that we don’t know one of the most recognizable symbols of the nazis, but trust, we can definitely tell this guy isn’t one”
Count042@lemmy.ml 17 hours ago
Because it is.
You don’t know what a black sun is? Okay, I can get that.
You don’t know what a deaths head is? That’s on you.

To be clear, at this point you are not insulting Graham Platner on the idea that he’s a Nazi. You are directly insulting every single voter that doesn’t recognize all Nazi symbols offhand; because all of them were identifying with his excuse. I’m not a Mainer, but otherwise I was one of them.
