    Very coincidental and not at all suspicious how some Blackwater dude with a Nazi tattoo would suddenly pop out of nowhere when Zionism has been thoroughly discredited among the general public with a void that could be filled with an anti-Zionist ideology.

      I’m also a bit conspiracy brained regarding Platner. Reminds me of the classic organized crime thing where they pay a fighter to go down in the nth round. He was obviously problematic from the start and now they conveniently have a scenario where a Zionist could step in and win with an anti-Zionist electorate.

      Yeah I’m increasingly convinced this dude is some kind of Op. The more I learn about him the more I can’t buy his claimed progressive politics are legit. I could buy a guy who joined up with the Marines and used to be a violent jarhead asshole could have a come to Jesus moment and try and become a progressive activist or politician, but if that was the case you’d think he’d be RUNNING on that, not denying or downplaying the shit from his past.

    I get not trusting Platner, but literally all the worst politicians, particularly zionists, want to cancel him and I don’t think that’s a coincidence, but I guess we’ll see.
