Feel this is a good accompanying piece for all the folk insisting on caping for a Blackwater merc wth a nazi tattoo because he said something they liked.

    That does all make sense. It’s just insane that someone would get a big chest tattoo, literally in the exact spot that Ed Norton had his giant swastika in American History X, and it would be specifically and famously the symbol of the elite Nazi SS group that ran the death camps, and he’d just be utterly clueless about it for years and years. It’s just so hard to believe that never in that guys life was he at a pool party or in the gym or whatever, and never once did someone call out his giant tattoo of what is arguably the 3rd most recognizable Nazi symbol behind the swastika and the bolts. I like the guy’s platform, and I could forgive getting some tattoo you don’t understand as part of a unit thing, it just boggles my mind who this guy’s close friends and family must be that they all thought this was perfectly cool as well until he wanted to get elected to something…

      I mean… he also apparently stripped down to his underpants in bars when drunk on the regular too (since that is where the footage came from).

      Which… okay, he probably actually IS a good candidate for Maine. Like… very large parts of that state are “the parts of upstate New York that still fly confederate flags” if you catch my drift. But there is still zero reason to settle for the nazi 13 months before the general.
