panel meme with the doctor and Clara.

depends on the context…

the 1% holding most of the world’s wealth, yes

the 1% of women who were assigned male at birth, no

I feel like "don't vote for a nazi" is an easy line not to cross but the GOP has been proving me wrong for years so wtf do I know

A friend does not let you leave the house that way. They would at least tell you to wait until it is not weirdly red and inflamed.

When *I* was a kid, having a nazi tattoo was what you called a "dealbreaker." No one tried to nuance their way into "not ALL nazi tattoos" or some bullshit.
But then, there was also a general agreement that nazis were bad, and if you saw one, you called your mom or threw a punch or both.

Why is this a debate? Why is this an analysis? Why are we discussing his motivations or the reasoning behind why he has it or why he kept it? (These are all rhetorical questions.)

Nazi tattoo = you’re done.

It’s literally that simple. There’s no nuance or further conversation needed.

I need y’all to take five seconds and think about what it feels like to be a Jew whose family was massacred by people wearing this symbol and watch you analyze and debate this.

no one accidentally gets a nazi tattoo because they're super drunk. Certainly not this one.

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.”

Yeahhhh. I have known my husband since he was 18 and I am absolutely fuckin' sure he has never been a nazi. My brother is an asshole but has also never been a nazi. My dad? Never a nazi. I could go on.

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

The average American millennial man has been a neocon, a pacifist, a liberal, a libertarian, a communist, a nazi, and I believe now most of us are back around to liberal again. This isn't a defense of platner it's just weird how normal this shit is for guys that age.

If the Supreme Court comes down the wrong way on this case, veterans’ groups warn that corporations would be allowed to “act with impunity simply because their business operations were carried out on a U.S. military base.”

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.

Thread has the whole list.

Like a lot of such lists, you will probably find that even if you wanted to boycott all of these companies, for one reason or another, you won't be able to. Billionaires keep consolidating, capitalism sucks, etc. etc. Take a look and respond as you can.
