I suppose my stance is that there’s no way we get out of this intact if we do not take necessary risks or take unnecessary risks. The Nazi skull tattoo is an unnecessary risk.

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...

IHUFFPOSTI
"Basically, I'm just fed up with the fact that I'm cis-gendered, I'm a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side," said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. "And I get demonized if I don't accept certain things."

This white man does not, like, I'm not claiming to not be fucked up at all, but "no Nazi tattoos" is a bar that is quite easy to clear, and I am *appalled* by how few people are insisting it be cleared.

He's a self described "military history buff", which is *very commonly* the polite way of saying "I love me a lot of Nazis".

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

I can't believe this story is going to make me defend drinking and getting questionable tattoos but I drank for 20 years, I have more tattoos than I can count and I still managed to make sure each one wasn't a nazi thing. That guy has one tattoo to google and he couldn't find the time?

I've written a lot of political commentary in my career, and I never thought before that 'if you want to get ahead in the centre-left party, you need to have, at the least, lasered off the Nazi tattoo before running' would be a divisive bit of analysis.

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history

one thing about racism is the way people will ignore the most likely explanation for something like having a Nazi tattoo for 20 years.

the most simple and obvious explanation was that he knew what it was and kept it. his excusers need to stop the embarrassing mental gymnastics.

Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 14h

Jewish Insider just sent out an email with an article with more Platner info. And yeah, this guy is DONE done.

But according to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a Totenkopf, the “death’s head” symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II.

“He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. “He said it in a cutesy little way.”

some things are murky and complex. some of the antisemitism baked into our society is rooted so deep you don't see it until someone says "hey so here's the Grimm Brothers' whole deal" or "that goes back to medieval Catholicism" and you're like "oh shit!"

A NAZI TATTOO IS NOT IN THAT CATEGORY

Okay, I'm just going to call you a straight up Nazi now. I don't believe you, you absolutely know what it is and you absolutely understand that.

You're a Nazi. Bye-bye, Nazi fuck.

JTDC @jtdc.bsky.social · 10h

So, I need to explain something to you:

If you manage to accidentally get a Nazi tattoo, it is absolutely imperative that, as soon as you realize it's a Nazi tattoo, you get it covered up or removed. Like...immediately.

He's kept it for 20 fucking years, knowing damn well it's a Nazi tattoo.

the thing is that even if - through some absolutely absurd, farcical set of circumstances I can’t even conceive - an innocent person did accidentally end up with a tattoo they only learned later was a Nazi symbol, the only appropriate response is “holy shit get me to the laser removal clinic TODAY”
