PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — His U.S. Senate campaign under fire, Maine Democrat Graham Platner said Wednesday that a tattoo on his chest has been covered to no longer reflect an image widely recognized as a Nazi symbol.
The first-time political candidate said he got the skull and crossbones tattoo in 2007, when he was in his 20s and in the Marine Corps. It happened during a night of drinking while he was on leave in Croatia, he said, adding he was unaware until recently that the image has been associated with Nazi police.
You keep asking me to answer the same questions, I think I’ve made myself clear. I even linked you his book of articles defending the Iraq war. Why I call him a neocon: he made himself an accomplice to the full-scale invasion of Iraq, defending it publicly in major publications.
re: subtext, the reason I even mentioned Hitchens was because you asked me a diversionary question on an unrelated topic- something you just tried to posture as being outraged at me for doing. You’re clearly looking to provoke a response and certainly not interested in internalizing anything I’m saying.
You will spend endless energy defending white dudes with nazi tattoos complicit in invasions that slaughter millions of people as long as they’re white and appeal to your ‘democratic socialist’ sensibilities.
You linked me examples of my site admin purging content from a user who has demonstrated a willingness to defend literal nazis, if I were in dessalines position I would have banned that user entirely by now.
That community that you frequent is rife with these types of people. I wish I could say I was surprised that the user who can’t stop calling people degenerate roaches was back at it again after only a 7 day slap on the wrist.
You also seem pretty chummy with him, weird how the more I look around you the more fashy shit I see.
You just had a pretty public crashout getting banned for defending the dude who was saying that hexbear users should kill themselves and that they weren’t ‘really’ trans. You did a whole retaliation defed, it was a weird reaction to have when all that’s needed is some self-reflection.
Additionally you just sent me a whole rant about some other person who stopped talking to you in this thread, the topic coming up pretty much out of nowhere. You did link me to them making a reference to being in the military, but didn’t even link me where they claim to live in the same town. I’m not interested in a fishing expedition.
I’m sorry that they stopped talking to you, but I’m also done with giving you social advice at this point.
In fact, after digging up those links and revisiting your recent conduct, I’m questioning why I’m even continuing to talk to you at all.
