Concerns are mounting over Trump’s pick to lead the Pentagon, Fox News host and military veteran Pete Hegseth. CBS News reports that Hegseth was one of 12 National Guard members who were removed as guards for President Biden’s 2021 inauguration over possible extremist ties. Hegseth has tattoos associated with the white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements, including what’s known as a Jerusalem cross, a symbol used by Christian nationalists.
In related news, the government watchdog Accountable.US announced it’s launching a “Trump Accountability War Room” to monitor Trump’s appointments and executive actions as he takes up his second term.
Just keep calling everyone Nazi. See how much it helps. Backing people into a corner and forcing this label onto them is only going to make them adapt the label and become the very thing you hate.
76 million people voted for Trump. Calling them names is not going to move the needle. Like what do you expect you call them Nazi and then they beg for forgiveness and then go read a Bernie Sanders book?
They already are the thing I hate. They tattooed symbols of murder and genocide on themselves.
FYI you can call a Nazi a Nazi. It’s fine.
I’m not calling everyone a Nazi.
I’m saying the guy with tattoos on his chest of symbols that have been associated with Nazis since the late 1930s is 99.99999% likely to be a Nazi and not a long lost member of Prussian nobility.
Pretending that because there’s a .0000001% chance that his tattoos aren’t Nazi inspired just because Prussia existed, is purposeful pedantry, which IMO is worse than outright racism.
See, you’re not stupid. You’re the worst kind of person. Your not smart. But your not stupid. You have just enough trivia in your head that you can muddle any argument with pedantry just enough that stupid people might read it and think… “hmmm…maybe it WAS a Prussia tattoo.” even though you know damn well that a .0000001% chance is as good as 0%. It’s dishonest, it’s immoral, and it takes advantage of people who don’t have the critical thinking skills to call out your bullshit. You are worse than racists because at least racists are honest about it.
I just want everyone to focus on real policy issues instead of focusing on some stupid tattoo. This thread has not help inform the people about this guys most likely stupid and dangerous policies.
hahahah fucking spot on, where is this from ??

I think “Is this guy literally a Nazi” is a pretty important policy question…
It’s OK. Some guy with a name like “The4th” says he’s not a Nazi. The Fourth what now?
Of July?
Yeah, at this point in the game the Fascists have fully co-opted patriotism. If you’re proud of America right now, you’re a Nazi. 7/4 and 1776 are in the same category as 1488 these days. Patriotism is complacency in the face of violent Nationalism.
