A greatcoat worn by the senior US border patrol official Gregory Bovino, who has spearheaded aggressive immigration operations across the country, has raised eyebrows in German media with some commentators saying it resembled a fascist aesthetic.

Bovino has been an increasingly recognisable figure during the raids in Minneapolis for the brass-buttoned, calf-length olive green coat, which is unlike the fatigues and body armor worn by many of the federal agents.

Along with his close-shorn haircut, the media organization Der Spiegel suggested in a video feature that Bovino’s look recalled that of a Nazi officer.

    He's been filmed flashing HH Nazi salutes to his goons on downtime from terrorizing innocent citizens. He IS a full blown Nazi.

    I mean, that's probably why he wears it. He very clearly likes the Nazi aesthetic and seems to enjoy looking like one.

    For comparison, here's a photo of Heinrich Himmler (Chief of the SS and Gestapo) and Richard Heydrich (Police chief):

    Always a good sign when the Germans think you dress like a Nazi, notwithstanding the current governments rhetoric and actions.

    That tiny little bitch of a man is 100% wanting to invoke a particular aesthetic.

    Nothing would please him more than to be compared to his heroes.

    There's no way that's standard issue, right? This guy is larping as a Nazi. What a sad little chucklefuck he is.

    Nope, nothing in common with the SS.

    Edit: This photo was published by CNN on Oct. 8th. It took the Germans only 3.5 months to realize he might be a Nazi.

    Was it not obvious? I feel like even if you're not German, you probably know what a little bitch cosplaying as a WWII Nazi looks like.

    He looks like the gym teacher from Beavis and Butthead. Coach Buzzcut

    "Hey every woman that ever rejected me, bet you're regretting it now. What am I up to? Just leading an illiterate army that targets and harms civilian women and children by order of a pedophile and convicted rapist. Look at my lil Nazi duster." 🥴

    We don't have to guess we know they are Nazis.

    The important thing to note here is that Germany, a country that has been cucked by America for over 50 years, is openly talking shit of the highest degree (non-racist Germans take their anti-Nazi stance very seriously, it's a big part of the culture). Living in the West in such interesting times is a bit concerning, lol.

    Dear Germany, how'd you get corporate money out of your government?

    It's simple actually. "Money donations" are not "freedom of expression" like in the US, there are very limited amounts that individuals may donate to political parties, anything above is corruption. This is the general rule across Europe. You don't want your democracy for sale, you don't allow it to be bought.

    They are carrying out fascist pogroms due to fascist beliefs, dressed like nazis. And the major media even in Germany can only muster saying "they look like nazis."

    Savage.

    No need to hate on the short kings out there, friend.

    (And before someone misinterprets this, I mean short kings in general. Not these ICE motherfuckers who can eat a dick.)
