Honestly, i've wanted to say this for a few days but didn't know where it would belong, but:

I don't even care about Platner himself. I'm not a yankee and a hitlerite will be in charge of Maine eitherway, and as far as i'm concerned, all empire troopers/US politicians are completely revolting and horrible.

What makes this guy and his election so unignorable and just disgusting, is the rabid and fanatic cult-like worshipping the so called American left do for him, a genuinely horrible human being in every single way possible, all for making vague statements about being pro-healthcare (and being opposed to "pointless wars", because it harms the poor smol bean troops and very innocent white americans ussr-cry. Of course, ignoring the fact that he supports funding the military more.) They also only laser-focus on the tattoo, because it's the only thing about him that can have an alternative explanation in general. They know every other thing he's done is fucking horrid and indefensible, but instead of reconsidering their beliefs, they just ignore it, implying they know what he did and can't even fucking defend it.

What i've learned from all this, never trust a western socialist anything less than being a communist and that wholly condemns US imperialism. And even then, I hate to say this but a lot of white communists are just in it for the treats and feeling better about themselves. Pretty much the only ones you can trust not to become a fascist the moment times get worse is just B/I/POC american socialists .

    Seriously. This is the type of minimization of this guys past imperialist wars crimes is getting from Western "anti-imperialists":

    Literally indistinguishable from libs who did the whole "but her emails" memes even though her emails painted a clear picture of what a sick imperialist she was, in addition to coordinating the piped piper strategy that gave Trump his rise to power.

    Its become so clear to me that Western "leftisim" is entirely about reform and just gaining enough of a piece of the pie that the imperial core slices from the rest of the world so that they continue living in relative comfort. No matter how much POC may cry out against the crimes of these Western "leftist" figures, their loyal supporters will still go to bat for them.
