    Fox News getting mad about Nazi tattoos is fake outrage. Pete Hegseth has as many Nazi tattoos as Graham Platner, if not more. I would be surprised if Kegsbreath was not mandating everyone in the US military to get Nazi tattoos.

    I don’t trust Platner. I read through many of his deleted reddit comments and he explained on his reddit account that he knew what Nazi tattoos are and defended other people in the military having them as well.

    However, the idea that Fox News is outflanking anyone on being against Nazi tattoos is absurd. You might say the headline is ‘bad faith’. They’re only pretending to be against Nazi tattoos. If they actually hated Nazis tattoos, they would have criticized Pete Hegseth for it.

      Unless I’m mistaken and forgetting one of Pete’s… Pete has “Nazi” tattoos (the crosses and “infadel”) whereas Platner had a NAZI tattoo like the SS would’ve had on their uniform.

      Distinction without difference here maybe idk

        Pete Hegseth has crusade tattoos to symbolize that he’s a christian fascist who is religiously motivated to kill Muslims. He thinks that the tattoos represent a war against Muslims and he wants to kill Muslims.

        I don’t a see a distinction between American Christian Fascists and German Fascists.

        It’s that thing where conservatives are nazis and love nazis, but for some their American nationalism overrides all else so they can have their cake and eat it too by rhetorically condemning one very specific historical batch of nazis and their symbols, while advocating for all the same shit. Similar to “democrats are the real racists” while also being wildly, proudly racist.

      Yeah, it’d be nice if I wasn’t being meta-dabbed by Fox News right now.

      This is like nazi inception, I don’t like the idiot with the Nazi tattoo so I’m being fed Nazi propaganda against the nazi idiot’s smolbean Nazi party

      great man everything has to suck, everything has to be one flavor of nazi or another. Like I have to like the Spanish now, i have to like fucker tarlson apparently, i have to get my anti nazi news from fox news, i have to pretend things are very normal at work, i have to listen
