Let's do this one at a time
Has anyone here actually looked into what Planter believes? His campaign has been pretty good from a left wing perspective, including as mentioned opposing genocide in a state where anti-zionist rhetoric is not popular amongst the political establishment.
So he opposes one genocide that 80% of dem voters also oppose, wow.
His reddit history paints a picture of a dude who was radicalized to the far left. All of the evidence to me points to him being genuinely left wing.
His tattoo story of getting it while drunk in Croatia and not knowing the symbolism makes alot more sense than him being an actual Nazi. It just blows my mind that so many lefties fall for these media narratives that paint their own as bad guys.
I said it before, you could maybe make the argument that some dumb bastard in 2006 joining the corps was too stupid to know better and just liked the aesthetic, but if he genuinely had some sort of 'political awakening', and he still doesn't know what it means? Fascism is intertwined in history with basically all forms of left wing politics, how would he not know. And to keep it on?? If you don't treat it like a malignant growth after an 'awakening', you're either:
- Still a complete dumbass and not to be trusted
- A liar and DEFINITELY not to be trusted
If you have a Nazi logo tatted on you and you claim to be politically literate, YOU CANNOT BE TRUSTED. The circumstances of getting it do NOT matter, especially if it is still on you.
