disregard purity testing I wouldn't want my senator to be a guy this bad at decision making. Like okay, you went to the army, propaganda works. Then you worked for blackwater. Also you got a drunk tattoo in Croatia and then in years upon years never got curious enough to see if what you pointed at to the wall maybe has meaning?

Even if this is unserious sarcasm lets not make jokes excusing people for being actual fascists. Non-fascist drunk decision making does not involve getting the totenkopf tattooed on your chest while in a country with several active fascist organizations after serving as a hired genocidal murderer who helped kill over a million people in Iraq and then Afghanistan. If he wasn't a fascist he would've quit the moment he processed what he was doing in Fallujah.

Between Croatia being like that and this guy receiving an american education before becoming a marine I'm actually fully willing to believe he just didn't know at the time. It's exactly why I've put in "and then not bothering to recheck that decision" for years upon years

Exactly, Croatia is a fascist stronghold and the tattoo shop was probably run by an open fascist with a few hakenkreuz on the wall. I'd say its very unlikely that he didn't know and even if he didn't, the fact that he didn't care about all the other stuff kind of tells on him. Plus he went there with his marine invader buddies after they helped america genocide the people of Iraq for 2 years so theres that too.

Yeah but if I'm willing to believe anyones "whoops, actually got a nazi-tattoo" story it'd be drunk US Marine in Croatia. I don't think this makes him fit for leadership for aforementioned reason but I have to say that tracks entirely

[–] SuperNovaCouchGuy2@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

One should be very skeptical for exactly those reasons. US marine who participated in a white-supremacist genocide for 2 years, as in like helping his country murder thousands of brown people and then went to vacation in little nazi germany says his totenkopf tattoo was "just the alcohol bro"? Sus af to say the least.

Hey hey hey, let's get it right! He's a Crayola crunching marine, not IED bait Army
