The nazi tattoo is like my biggest red flag and I can’t tell if I’ve just because of B.J. Blazkowicz

    He was in Blackwater and is a Nazi. And he did not apologize for his war crimes.

    How the hell are people falling for this

      So he’s talked about gassing people in private chats? Has he said he loves Hitler?

      Is there evidence of him using race or ethnicity as a bogeyman “other” to persecute and exile people?

      Has he advocated for violence or extreme “solutions” to perceived problems in the country?

      Frankly, nothing on his platform comes close to what is already happening in plain sight. Platner has stated he’s anti-billionaire and that’s clear enough a reason why all of this muck is getting raked. If you’re going to do their work for them, I hope you’re at least getting paid for it.

        He was a concentration camp guard at Abu Graib, has a Nazi tattoo and is still advocating for the mass murder of brown people abroad so yes to probably all of the above.

          Source?

          Also, the military vets in my life are some of the most disillusioned people with the establishment, because they’ve seen the effects of imperialist bullshit up close.

              proud to be a combat vet can easily just be marketing… imagine where you’d get in the US if you said you were ashamed of your military service… you’d get eviscerated

                  do you think the US military needs all the funding it has?

                  if you think it could do with less, then perhaps you and he agree: that there could be some places to make the US military reduce waste for example

                  making it “run better” doesn’t necessarily mean expanding it and giving it more

        If you have 2 nazi tattoos you are a nazi.

        You are here arguing in favor of supporting a nazi like it is a progressive thing to do.

        Snap out of it.

              Lol there are actual literal Nazis in power right now who aren’t using any tattoos or symbols to out themselves, just their actions and rhetoric. Until I see evidence of Nazi-ism in his policies, actions and platform then the blanket discounting of him sounds way more bottish and shillish to me.

                Regular people don’t get tattoos dedicated to white supremacy.

                This is a sign to get rid of your SS tattoo as well.

                  Feel so sorry for every actor who’s ever worn a Nazi uniform in a movie, guess they’re all Nazis now.

                  Again, waiting on the evidence of violent rhetoric, otherism, idolizing autocrats and authoritarianism in his platform and actions.

          He doesn’t have two. Now he doesn’t even have one. The one he had, he covered up. The other was related to the establishment of a trail crew, not even remotely nazi, people just jumped on shit without any understanding or real evidence. And then parroted it without looking into it like you are doing here.

            Lol love how you don’t need sources XD

            He doesn’t have two. Now he doesn’t even have one.

            This is actually delusional behavior. You can see the pictures of his tattoos. You can see the social media posts of his previous manager dropping him because of these controversies and the impact they said it would have on his campaign.

            You are deepthroating the propaganda

            You need to engage with observable reality. He has 2 tattoos intrinsically linked to white supremacist ideology.

            Get a grip

              Where did I say I don’t need sources? I’ve been providing sources in several comments. Like this one showing his tattoos. The one he had covered up. And the other that some fuckwits have been going on about without confirming before they parroted a false talking point.

              So here’s some “observable reality” for you since you obviously couldn’t be fucked to look the current status of the tattoos up.

                Cool, so why did he get 2 nazi tattoos to begin with? Two different white supremacist tattoos with different meanings that both support the same ideology.

                Give me an explanation that doesn’t require I pretend like I’m fucking stupid to have to beleive it.

                    I went to the link

                    The Nazi skull was covered up

                    The 1919 is still there

                    I’m hoping he won’t pivot to being a Nazi like every Nazi that lies to gain power does.

                    People don’t get white supremacist tattoos, become better people, and decide to keep supporting white supemacy.

                    If I wasn’t a Nazi but had a Nazi tattoo, I wouldn’t keep it for almost 20 years and then get rid of it after someone called me out.

                    Jesus fuck their old manager literally told him it would be controversial, he knew what the symbols meant.

      This is deliberate disinformation, he worked for Constellis, which is not Blackwater, and for only 6 months. If a skull and cross bones makes a person a Nazi than you are a fool. Besides that, he covered it for all you purity testing bots.
