And “well if I had a tattoo, I’d figure out its meaning”. It’s not an esoteric mystical design. Why would you ever think it had a special meaning? It’s a skull and crossbones.
All this tells us is that you have no regard for the importance of history. This is like the 3rd most popular nazi symbol behind the swastika and the double S. You should read more.
I did not know about this specific SS department. But I was well aware of a general fact that Nazis wore skulls like that on their uniforms since I was a teenager, and I’m surprised to hear anyone had never heard this.
I would think 95 people out of 100 could very easily pick a Nazi uniform skull out of a lineup of other skulls, and I am really surprised that you are so surprised.
How old are you, out of curiosity? Were you not around when everyone’s living grandfathers were WWII vets? Maybe the younger generations do not know this. But I assure you, it used to be very widespread knowledge.
I am closer to retirement than I am to college and my grandfather, who is literally my hero, killed Nazis in France and Germany. His father’s body carried shrapnel from the first time Germany got unruly. The shrapnel was too close to his spine to remove it.
When I sit here laughing in disgust at the slander thrown toward Platner, it’s not from a place of ignorance about the topic. I’m pissed because I understand what the Nazis were, and it dishonors the sacrifices, lives, and deaths of hundreds of millions of people to pretend Platner is one of them.
And none of that proves a 20-something kid had any idea what the fuck that was. Why would you? It’s not a Nazi emblem. It doesn’t look like anything out of a history book or a fucking Nazi documentary.
But by all means, continue to be a ridiculous pedant about shit that does not matter.
If you honestly are concerned about this, you’re a fucking ridiculous person and we don’t need to listen to you.
I strongly hope you one day examine your mindset that causes you to instantly shut down and close your mind in response to the “yellow peril” of China.
Except it isn’t a Nazi tattoo and you literally can’t cite anything that actually happened and actually means something.
You are literally parroting right-wing propaganda, ya fuckin potato.

You didn’t even know what that even was until a few months ago.
That’s how you know these “outraged” guys are full of shit.
Fuckers couldn’t have identified the problem tattoo out of a multiple choice exam, but they’re BIG MAD with their dumb fucking feelings about it now.

The US military and police force wears skulls. Skulls iconography is commonplace in military forces around the world.
Around the world, lol?
LOL get the fuck out of here.
You know damn well you wouldn’t have picked that tattoo out of a lineup, and now you’re pretending you’re some fucking expert on Nazi iconography?
Good lord. Go be a Republican if you’re going to be this way. We don’t need you.

That’s because you’re lying.

Really telling on yourself with this one. Do you morons not learn about Nazis in school?

Please learn how to comminicate without so much hostility when none was directed at you.
“Please be less hostile as I slander and libel a politician because years ago, he got a tattoo that even I wouldn’t have recognized as a problem”
I mean Christ, how about you stop slandering good people over shit you just learned was a problem like five minutes ago?
I didnt learn he was employed by blackwater 5 minutes ago.
“good people”
(In response to a high school student asking why people joined the marines; likely a target of the US military’s child grooming)
I’d rather have 100 of him over any of you lying, lazy bastards.
And I don’t really give a shit about the opinion of a literal Chinese propagandist. GTFO here with that.
