It’s completely rational when people such as yourself attempt to deny it’s a Nazi tattoo.

Your rationale is irrelevant, the only excuse that’s valid is “Platner didn’t know”, but then surrounding himself with Blackwater fascists doesn’t help that case.

If all your buddies have Nazi tattoos, I’m sure that seems normalized.

The point is, no, it’s not normal to sport a Nazi tattoo and nobody should be normalizing or excusing it.

It’s not about “the controversy”, it’s shooting down the bullshit statements of “Hurrr durrr, it’s not a hate symbol! It’s just like a pirate flag!”

Fact is, I LIKE what Platner is saying, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that dumbass got a Nazi tattoo.

You can say the right things and still be a moron, they aren’t mutually exclusive. 😉

Doesn’t matter, when it comes to identifying Nazis, the ADL is grade one, and have been since the Holocaust.

Sorry you can’t wrap your brain around that one.

The Totenkopf is a Nazi symbol.

It’s used by white supremacists and neo Nazis as a hate symbol.

Platner either stupidly or intentionally chose to have one placed on his chest.

You’re the one trying to argue a Nazi symbol is not REALLY a Nazi symbol because you don’t like the Jewish organization telling you it’s a Nazi symbol.

If you want to argue Platner was an idiot for permanently marking his body with a hate symbol he did not understand? Sure, I’d buy that, dumb people get tattoos they can’t read all the time.

Coupling that with working for Blackwater? Sus explanation.

But you cannot argue it’s not a Nazi symbol.

Doesn’t enter into it when they are calling an obvious Nazi symbol for what it is, an obvious Nazi symbol.

Again, if you want to apologize for Nazis, you will not find an audience here.

No, you stating it’s not a totenkopf despite the obvious evidence it’s a totenkopf just because you don’t like the agency telling you it’s a totenkopf is something I have an issue with. 😉

If you want to apologize for Nazis, this is not the group to do that.

When it comes to Nazi symbolism? Yeah, the ADL is a source…

I bet he’s great at parties, he’s been to so many places and met so many interesting people…

I learned how to cook out of self defense.

Mom never cooked. Dad struggled with toast and the only reason we had ice in the house is that the recipe had been passed down for generations.

So if I wanted to eat and didn’t want food poisoning, it was on me to take an interest.

My grandmother taught me how to make a generations old family soup, when she passed away, I inherited her 60 year old cook-pot and recipes and built up my own kitchen around that.

Not making excuses for anything, I’m flat out telling you Netanyahu is going to Netanyahu and it doesn’t matter who is running the United States or what they say.

He made a fool of Biden, he’s making a fool of Trump, and it will continue unless someone steps in militarily, arrests him, and hauls his ass before a tribunal in the Hague.

Nobody is willing to DO that because of AIPAC money.

AIPAC existed, but they didn’t have the influence. Citizens United changed all that.

Hard to tell without scale, but less than 2.

Ahhhh… the days before AIPAC!

“The single most notable funding source in Collins’ campaign is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. AIPAC bundled more than $538,000 from 315 individual donors in a recent filing period, according to the Bangor Daily News, and accounted for nearly 20 percent of all money Collins raised in 2025, per Zeteo. Cumulative AIPAC contributions to Collins over her career have been reported at approximately $647,000.”

Yup!
