And if my grandma had wheels she’d be a bicycle.

Seriously. I had never even heard of a totenkopf until it came out he had one. To me it just looks like a skull n bones variant. I might've gotten one myself in complete ignorance. If he'd gotten a swastika, that would be an entirely different matter.

Just consider though; he could have been driving a Volkswagen, using an IBM computer, wearing Chanel cologne, while draped in Hugo Boss. Imagine that. Why do esoteric symbols matter, while the corporations that participated in the genocide still get a pass?

Yeah, it's so bad faith it's comical. It's ridiculously transparent. You could create a police line up of various deaths head iconography, from pirate flags to black death symbolism to US military units, with a few Nazi ones thrown in. Then ask these mosquitos sliming about Platner if they can identify the Nazi ones. I imagine 90% of them would fail that test.

Frankly, unless they're an anti-fascist activist or a historian, anyone with that level of encyclopedic knowledge of SS symbols is a little sus. If someone told me they had that level of knowledge of Nazi symbolism, I would ask them if they also have that level of knowledge of other famous military or authoritarian movements. Do they also have such knowledge of Soviet, Chinese, Roman, or ancient Egyptian military symbolism? Do they study military iconography of all sorts? Or just the SS stuff? Honestly, I think anyone with that level of SS knowledge is telling on themselves.

I like voting for impulsive people with no foresight to research something they are permanently doing to themselves!

This the game you want to play?

Alright well I guess we will see. Also fuck Susan Collins. I’m glad she’s outta there.

“Four tours as an infantryman in the Marines and then Army, did both Iraq and Afghanistan. It's hard to explain how much I enjoyed combat. It is both physically and intellectually challenging, and incredibly exciting (especially the first few times). I was never a huge fan of killing, at least not for killings sake, but I did love winning and that required killing.”
