The totenkopf might have been common among Nazi ranks and in its symbology, but the American education system failed to communicate that fact.
I know about the swastika, SS symbol, and iron cross, yet Graham Platner’s campaign was the first I’ve ever heard about the totenkopf.
But hey, Graham has never organized with Neonazi groups, and he covered up the tattoo once he learned the meaning. Case closed.
Why are we spending time on this and avoiding the part where Platner is Anti-Israel as compared to Susan Collins? Is the Gaza genocide not important to you??
True, I can forgive westerners for not recognizing these symbols for what they are, our education is a joke. I support him above any Republican who are essentially open fascists, I just don’t believe he is as authentic he says. It’s been shown he knew what it was long before he covered it up as well.
He might turn out to be an amazing senator and an actual progressive, I have just seen white men with this style for decades, and it’s like a black widow or a grizzly bear telling you they are changed and won’t cause any harm. Actions speak louder than words and the only actions definitively attributable to him is shooting and bombing people and a mild “sex scandal”.
Does he have a history of union organizing, charitable work or anything like that? I’m not automatically assuming he will be terrible, I do believe people can change, even if he was literally an avowed nazi. I just think it’s important people temper their expectations.
That sketch came out a year before he got the tattoo. You think a deployed early 20s marine was watching a lot of British comedy shows? You’re a buffoon.
If your best evidence of it being a widely known Nazi symbol was that it was on a sketch of the “Mitchell and Webb” show, you’ve got some pretty shit evidence
It’s not an obscure symbol, it is one of the most commonly used Nazi emblems, for example seen here:

I’d like to see the evidence for this.
BWAHAHAA!

If that’s the point you think they were making, I feel bad for the people in your life who have to suffer your presence.

It’s just to illustrate that it has been shown in media depictions for years, this isn’t the only example I could find, I just thought it was funny.
You mean the widely used meme that most people don’t know where it’s from but do know is a Nazi immediately when they see it?
And the one front and center on the hat?
Also doesn’t look the picture.
Sorry but you’re full of shit and you know it.
Sorry but you shouldn’t be allowed to drive with vision that poor. Good luck with your Nazi-murderer senator.
Good luck with your lying and slandering folks on behalf of Israel.
Hahaha! Death to Israel. Death to America.
