Katana314@lemmy.world 18 hours agoI 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?

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.

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”
