The only people with obsessive knowledge of SS iconography are WW2 buffs, neonazis, and neonazi WW2 buffs.
And those of us who are high enough on their lists to spend five minutes learning to identify common symbols that indicate danger.
I think you may be the actual Nazi here.
Seriously? This is the worst thing about y’all. You simply won’t allow for the possibility that criticism is even genuine, let alone legitimate. Every single time someone raises a potential concern, it’s always, “You’re the real Nazi!” or “You’re a DNC bot!” or whatnot. As if there isn’t a single person on the planet who gets worried when a guy with a Nazi tattoo and a history as a mercenary is running for office.
You can argue that Platner is a lesser evil or whatever, but this, “If you have a problem with a totenkopf tattoo, you’re the real Nazi” shit is just straight up cult behavior.

IF it’s that terrible a symbol, why aren’t pirate movies boycotted and picketed by Jewish rights groups?
Because, no matter how many times you repeat “it’s just a pirate symbol!!!” (how many times in this thread?) that’s doesn’t make it true:
It’s not just a “skull and crossbones,” it’s the specific design that was used by the Nazis and is known as a hate symbol.
