        Did the former abu ghraib guard that was all about military history never see a picture of any concentration camp guard? Has he never seen a movie about a concentration camp? Because that’s what the SS deaths heads units were, the people that staffed the concentration camps and the totenkopf was what they wore on their caps and their uniforms. Guess what’s on the cap of Heinrich Himmler? It’s not the “runes” it’s the totenkopf. The reason that sketch chose that skull is because of it’s prominence.

        But yeah let’s have the blackwater merc with an SS totenkopf lead the antizionist yanks. Fucking bonkers.

        I think literally everyone else was and it was almost certainly pointed out to him extremely fucking quickly, yet he refused to change it until he was running for office. Besides, its not like the show elevated some obscure symbol: they picked an extremely well known nazi extermination unit symbol because the joke is ha ha, can you imagine anyone wearing this and not knowing they’re evil? And yet they did, how ridiculous!

        Why are you hellbent on giving the benefit of the doubt against all logic to a blackwater war criminal who joined the military to kill brown people?

          Why are you hellbent on slandering someone as a war criminal, even though there has never been a single allegation that he committed a single act that would count as a war crime? Your “war crimes” are just vibes. Were there war crimes committed at Abu Ghraib? Yes. Years before Platner even arrived there. You’re just doing guilt by association.

          Why do you libel a man a Nazi even though he’s never espoused Nazi ideology or policy, and in fact ran on a progressive ticket? What kind of leftist wants a progressive candidate to lose?

          And no, it is an obscure symbol, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise. You’re just a ingenuousness weasel.

          Like, seriously, were you just some weirdo who never had a pirate phase as a kid? Skull and crossbones means pirates to me, not Nazis.

          Hell, I could give you a quiz that asked you to identify Nazi deaths head symbols and actual historical pirate flags. You would fail that quiz horribly even now.

          You just want leftist candidates to lose.
