Look, everyone makes mistakes like choosing to go to war multiple times because they want to kill people and getting nazi tattoos. Even in this post, he says the experience was hell!

There's a lot of Reddit bots for the guy for an election that's in June 2026. And some of them seem conservative or worse at the same time. πŸ‘€

This post history for Platner is absolutely bizarre. Just non-stop Platner...

I've never seen profiles for a single thing like this before. I honestly hope these are bots or a paid team.

When I made this list a few days ago, basically all of them talked about Planter almost every day, or something like that, for the past 14 days. I noticed that some of them started posting more about other stuff after I first shared this list.

On the flip side while going down these threads, I feel like I found accounts in the opposite direction as well confirming dead internet theory. πŸ‘»

But it was like a 6:1 ratio. Bots/teams arguing with other bots/teams. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Sorry for the long comment but just I don't think this Platner stuff is organic. I don't know who would do this. Psyop or something idk.

I think Hasan Piker likes Janet Mills or something.

Method for anyone curious- Replace the username in this link, download the json file, drop it into chatgpt to do the analysis for you, or you can convert it into a csv file and DIY but I prefer AI doing the heavy-lifting. Faster that way but I'm not double-checking my work because I'm not a journalist, so take it with a grain of salt.

I posted this on Reddit but the DemSoc mod removed it as spam. Not really sure how to get more eyes on this super weird behavior.

Almost like he's an OP...

I think Hasan Piker likes Janet Mills or something.

I actually can't tell if he's being serious or ironic when he says this.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

hahaha what the fuck he's literally i-love-killing-people

And just like Trump supporters, β€˜he didn’t mean the thing he said!’

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Or the Harris supporters, who just actively ignore that she and Biden enthusiastically supported a genocide and state-engineered famine.

Or the Obama supporters, who were a-okay with 26,000 bombs in one year getting dropped on civilians or drone strikes killing American citizens abroad.

The hypocrisy here would be astounding if we weren't so used to it.

The guy said he joined the military to kill people. Stop defending him.

Mass murderer or not he was just going to be another electoral failure for the voters to not learn anything from

just use this a litmus test to see who's worth a damn in our circles and move on

Glad we finally have a democrat who is willing to get his hands dirty.

I highly recommend his interview with breaking points if you want to cut through the propaganda. Judge his authenticity as he addresses these topics.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I did. Very dissapointed in Ryan for not asking whether Platner has any regrets about killing brown people.

Or even if he saw any combat at Constellis, because the "I mostly carried stuff" is a huge cop out to not answer the question.

Platner was fake as everliving hell. Definitely a Fetterman. BP disappointed.
