I can’t believe a former US marine who joined specifically for Iraq would be violent towards women.

    every single person who supported him was a literal nazi supporter.

    at least you blue Nazis draw the line at raping white women. y’all didn’t give a fuck about him killing brown people for money.

      I been saying fuck him since day 1, but calling him or his supporters Nazi is flat-out ridiculous. He was an ex-Nazi at worst.

      Anyone can and should fix their ideology but nobody can undo their actions. Killing peoples for fun, and [very likely] sexually assaulting women can not be undone

        he kept his nazi tattoos until there was national pressure.

        every day he woke up with a nazi tattoo and decided to keep it. yhea, it’s a nazi.

        don’t gaslight me, “people can change”, then point to a blackwater merc with a nazi tattoo. yhea, they can, he didn’t.

        under that logic, you can’t be mean to Elon, because he can change.

        And even if he changed, I don’t want a Blackwater merc that had a nazi tattoo either.

          Nobody, including him, knew it was a nazi tattoo until the smear campaigns. Who associates cartoonish skulls with Nazis except nerds with a special interest in a specific German military unit in WW2?

          PS. Yes, that’s how gaslighting works. The first to call it is being gaslighted. Not the person saying that words are meaningless and are equal to Elon’s imaginary words. gtfoh

            Dude.

            Dude.

            There are Celtic symbols that Nazis like to use that make you wonder if the person is a Nazi or just ignorant of what that symbol looks like.

            This ain’t that.

            This is a 100 percent Nazi tattoo. Don’t blame the world for your ignorance, or try and justify your ignorance by ascribing it to the world. This is your ignorance.

            so, you decided to defend a blackwater Merc with a nazi tattoo by complaining about those who pointed it out. and you’re so making excuses for him, even after the rape allegations.

            are you sure you want to be that kind of person?

                I am not defending a Blackwater Merc that run for politics with Nazi tattoos who has rape allegations.

                The bar couldn’t be lower.

                Now I know that if there is a Blue Trump idiots will vote for him

            he had that tattoo for 18 years. Did he never see an SS uniform in a movie or something? Did he never see a picture of a concentration camp guard? Pretty sure I’d recognise my tattooes if I had any. Here is him commenting under one such picture https://undelete.pullpush.io/r/CombatFootage/comments/auy0bi/_/ehbh3n6/?context=4

            This exact skull is what SS deaths head units are named for, you know, the ones that were working the concentration camps? It’s so well known that this is the skull the “are we the baddies” sketch is about. You can see it everywhere in pictures about the death camps. And this guy was frequenting military history subs. Guess what’s on the cap of Heinrich Himmler? It’s not the “runes” it’s the totenkopf. The reason that sketch chose that skull is because of it’s prominence.

              I was that day years old when I learned what a totenkopf was. A basic picture would’ve made me say “Oh, nice pirate tattoo.” Even after he gets the tattoo, it wouldn’t come up in conversation much if it’s under his shirt, and not in his own field of vision.

              I have watched movies about the holocaust and that particular symbol never comes up. I don’t know why people so readily assume it must be common knowledge.

              “But you know now!” Yes! And so did Graham! So what’s the point?

                Because it is.

                You don’t know what a black sun is? Okay, I can get that.

                You don’t know what a deaths head is? That’s on you.
