Demonstrate its blatantless, then. I’m sure there must be PLENTY of examples of Platner espousing Nazi rhetoric, declaring his hatred of Jews, praising Hitler, and so on if it’s so evident what he believes in.
Alright, well, it’s a Reddit thread where someone posted a picture of some SS troops, and someone asks “Just out of curiosity - how do you know they’re SS? What gives them away? Is it the camo?”. Someone else replied “The totenkopf on the dude first on the left is a good clue.”
This leads to a back and forth discussion between a few posters about Totenkopfs and other skulls used by troops in combat. Platner (P-Hustle) weighs in:
"When I was in Ramadi in ‘06 as a Marine grunt, the SEAL platoon we worked closely with for the deployment all had the Punisher skull spray painted on their armor carriers.
There’s no question it’s far more prevalent on all the dumbass Grunt Style and Nine Line shirts these days, but the teams definitely adopted it for a while."
I agree that Platner is undoubtedly incredibly stupid, but I find it hard to believe that he’s so stupid that he’d confuse spray painting something onto body armor with getting a tattoo.
And if he IS that dumb he definitely doesn’t belong in office.
That’s how it’s working for me. It’s not a long exchange, so I’ll just repost it here. I’m changing the other posters names, just because it’s harder to C&P the names without getting a bunch of extra formatting. The quotes are nested in the original: each post is a direct response to the preceding post.
Poster A:
The totenkopf on the dude first on the left is a good clue.
Poster B: has literal human skulls on uniform
“Ignore that we’re the good guys”
Edit: just so everyone is fully aware it’s a joke
Poster C:
Many soldiers still use the skull as an emblem (see the Punisher skull for the SEALs) or regiment emblems all around the world. It’s a way of making others fear them and all.
Also I understand the reference btw.
NOT SAYING THE SS WERE GOOD GUYS DON’T GET ME WRONG
Poster D:
Punisher is a kind of unofficial emblem and it’s more something some individuals do. I’ve seen it more on civvy and moto stuff than on actual servicemen.
Platner:
When I was in Ramadi in ‘06 as a Marine grunt, the SEAL platoon we worked closely with for the deployment all had the Punisher skull spray painted on their armor carriers.
There’s no question it’s far more prevalent on all the dumbass Grunt Style and Nine Line shirts these days, but the teams definitely adopted it for a while.
I think the most damning evidence is his friend who told multiple media sources that Platner has been referring to his tattoo with the cutesy nickname “My Totenkopf” since 2012. But the last time I posted that link I got multiple complaints about how the original source that broke the story was a Jewish source, so…
