I was in the Army, and while I can attest that random barracks tattoos are not uncommon, that one in particular would have 100% gotten him chapter ed out if his leadership knew about it.

Yes it can. Being an opponent to something naturally allows for people to do things against it. It doesn't matter if hating something has any benefits or not. People are allowed to have opinions. Shocking, I know.

Either a bot, or the most dedicated rage baiter i've ever seen. Its beliefs and positions are determined by whatever Trump is talking about at the moment, probably an algorithm thing. When confronted about Trump's flip flopping and doing the opposite of those beliefs and what he said ( Epstein, foreign wars and intervention, etc.), it either pretends that any indication of changes or lying on the President's part is a conspiracy, or it just straight up acknowledges that it doesn't care that the president lied and did the opposite of what he said. If you've ever had a debate with chat GPT, that's exactly what it feels like, with less sources and links.

The politics of GMS appears to be determined by an AI that exclusively takes data from @realDonaldTrump posts, thus why it's incapable of logic or reflection.

GMS, I was just about to post to Bnei Noah, the post link, I posted too you of why I and my family are not worried about President Trump deporting me and my family.
Based Illinois, said, Either a bot, or the most dedicated rage baiter i've ever seen.

I feel like arguing with a wall tonight, so why not. viewtopic.php?f=20&t=572337&p=43158978#p43158978
GMS, I am tired of this since 2016 on NS, I post on Twitter, news sites and other political forum sites, I post on 10 such political sites and no one has any problems with my posts and views, other than they think differently on President Trump. No one has any problems with my posting style and English Not Very Good, lol :) :rofl:. No one has me on ignore because of my strong defense of President Trump, only on NS discord, this is not a coincidence. It only happens on NS and discord. Many of them strongly cricize President Trump, make fun of President Trump and insult President Trump everyday on NS and off NS since 2016. They are not Brick Walls to talk too, post to and argue with. They are not F Brick Walls to talk to, post to and argue with. Like x Number on NS have said about me. one guy who has me on ignore said GMS Posts Vomits, lol :) :rofl: Pro Trump Vomits. They think differently and there is nothing wrong with it. one guy who has me on ignore calls me a liar, it is about President Trump. But they will never admit it. I am not the only person on NS and off NS who supports President Trump on the policies I like and love and we like and love and you guys hate. From now on I am going to ignore these kinds of unnecessary, baseless comments against me and post to you and all NSers on the contexts of my political posts on the issues, with personal respect to you and all NSers like I always do.

Post 01 to you: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=572337&p=43159074#p43159074.

I said, just because any persons name might be or is on Epstines Friends list does not mean they are guilty of the P word or the R word. It is a non issue to me and those who think like me on NS and off NS.

Accept my answers on all issues my way, even if you dont like them, like I do with yours and all NSers, and counter argue as many times as you want too. This goes for all of you.

on the drug traffickers and Venezuela I said, I dont care if he lied on this one, because viewtopic.php?p=43160523#p43160523.

I can post more post links on this between me and you.

Peace over and out.

which is really another layer of maddening incompetence and stupidity from Platner and everyone around him.

it would have been one thing if he had one years and years ago, or even before he launched his campaign, and got it covered up before he launched his bid. you could spin that I think pretty effectively: a real journey from being on the right wing radicalizing pipeline and into the proverbial light.

but nobody thought to do *anything* about it until like a week ago when the story was set to launch. not a single person. not Platner, not any of his advisors, not *Bernie Sanders*. that in itself is fully disqualifying, on top of the Nazi tattoo. we don't need another lumbering oaf wandering around in the halls of power.

The Marines and State Department also apparently didn't have any comment about his tattoo from the "Are we the baddies?" meme, which is a different problem.

Because literally nobody in the military cares about this kind of shit. You're there to be a part of a job function which ultimately revolves around killing people. Nobody in the military is there to be politically correct.

Was. Was a Prussian thing. Its original meaning was consumed by the much more infamous Nazi use, much like the swastika. (It's a shitty tattoo regardless, what did he do it himself?)

Hahaha, no. Army 3rd Special Forces group was using that symbol as their official patch until it was banned in 2022. US Marine Scout snipers used the SS lighting logo until it became a scandal in 2012. And the general mood of the Corps over that scandal, wasn't that the snipers were in the wrong, but that the civilians making a stink were a bunch of whiney piss babys making a fuss over something that didn't concern them. Sorkin really hit the nail on the head with the Col Jessup speech, in capturing the prevailing view of the military and how the feel about civilian oversight.

Platner absolutely wouldn't have faced any repercussions because, 1. It's not a swastika, 2. It wasn't visible in PT gear. Unless it blew up in the media, nobody was going to give a shit.

I am an anarchist/libertarian socialist. Policies of my country roughly reflect my views IRL. Click below for more information on my political views, which are specifically about my views with relation to the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
FUCK ISRAEL! I support peace, therefore I stand with Palestine. I want a bi-national solution, a state in which Jews and Palestinians can coexist peacefully. The onus is on Israel to stop this - it can do it anytime by bringing a ceasefire and ending apartheid.

if you think about it, it does make America ""healthier"" again - by weeding out those foolish enough to not vaccinate. It is sad, because time and time again, those antivaxxers only realise it when they're on their death bed, and then ask for a vaccine... sorry buddy, you had the chance, but when you're already dying, the vaccine can't come in time enough to save you.

Canary in a coal mine moment: the economy is clearly going down, I just got a $250 haircut for 30 bucks. Went to Supercuts like a normal working class bloke, and they got actual stylists working there now. The equipment the guy who cut my hair was rocking, was probably worth more than all the regular barbers there combined. I had to actually explain what a medium fade was, and he kept laughing and shaking his head over normal barbershop stuff, like telling the walkins it's a 20 minute wait, or a customer rescheduling their appointment for later on the fly. You could just tell the dude felt like it was all beneath him.

But, he knocked it out. A normally 10 minute cut took 40 minutes of painstaking care, even showed me how to use a curling brush to get a little extra lift (I got fine hair). I respect as miserable as he was he didn't compromise on the craft.


The point of this is bit, the economy is clearly in a down and people aren't shelling out for the high priced cuts like they used to, and stylists used to making $300 a cut, are taking space just to make 1/10th that amount. Yikes.
“Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre
