Surely this is another GOP psyop! I know some folks on here were sure the last one was, after all

    I recall Felix saying he didn’t think the guy was actually a Nazi, just a dumbass, based on his reddit posting history, and Matt saying that nobody would give a shit about his dumb sexting habit if he wasn’t critical of Israel. But they also say “the book Settlers was basically written for this guy” in reference to him bringing up his tour with the Marines in a debate. I don’t recall if any of them every actually endorsed voting for him.

      Will Menaker endorsed voting for him explicitly. He’s obviously a nazi, he had a croat nazi tattoo from a parlor that was full of SS bolts and swastikas (I know what croat tattoo parlors are like that offer totenkompfs to US Marines). That’s on top of him volunteering for private mercenary groups. Felix should know better than to downplay this shit.

      saying he didn’t think the guy was actually a Nazi, just a dumbass

      I’ve just been posting this everywhere:

      From Mein Kampf vol. 2, Chapter VII: The Struggle with the Red Front

      Never give nazis the benefit of the doubt. They say the wrong things on purpose. The nazis of today have disciplined themselves to “hide your power level.” Maybe some dumbass gets caught in the crossfire, not realizing what fascists do to infiltrate enemy organizations. But that’s exactly what a nazi would say to avoid getting punched in the face. Too fucking bad if you got the wrong tattoo by mistake.

        To be clear I never defended the guy. I had no idea who he was till the Nazi tattoo thing came out, and I was maybe inclined to give some slight benefit of the doubt then because of his anti-Zionism but the second I learned he was in Blackwater I quickly dropped that.
