    Hey, how about Graham Platner’s secret Nazi sympathies? We know he has them, because of the tattoo! I haven’t heard that one for a while.

        A new one! What makes you say that he worked in Abu Ghraib? I did a quick search, and all I can find is a YouTube video by “BadEmpanada.”

          an old one! what makes you think an empire’s jackboot with a nazi tattoo is not a fascist?

          all i can find is the nazi saying he is not a nazi.

                Because pretty much everything he’s advocating for is the exact opposite of fascism, and because we saw his Reddit comment history which he wasn’t expecting to have exposed and there’s no fascism in it and there is some anti-fascism. Some bad-faith mischaracterizations aside, there is literally no reason at all to think he’s a fascist in any way, and a few different reasons to think he is the opposite of that.

                Anyway, what makes you say that he worked in Abu Ghraib? Or is it no particular reason, just “it is known”?

                  his Reddit comment history which he wasn’t expecting to have exposed

                  my brother in christ, you mean the one where he acts like a homophobic fascist? and said he joined the fascist corps because he wanted to kill people?

                  look into the comments he made himself about abu ghraib. shit, take a long hard look at his statements about his time as a jackboot, and his reddit account.

                    Can you point me to those comments? I’ve looked at his comment history yes. Maybe I missed these parts. It’s pretty large so obviously everyone’s going to pick their favorite part to present, but what I saw was him calling himself a communist, yelling at people who were excusing war crimes and talking about some of the fucked up stuff he saw in the military and how it radicalized him.

                    look into the comments he made himself about abu ghraib.

                    Which comments were those?
