Their bio.
TIL going to Iraq and mass murdering civilians is not acting on Nazi ideas. I guess as long as they’re not white it’s alright
Being from america-lite(kkklanada) and getting weird looks when i speak matter-of-factly about how the USA is the most evil entity on the planet feels like being gaslit.
I grew up being told we hate Americans but then as an adult that really meant we like besting them at sports and saying they’re not smart or whatever.
Talking to Canadian libs about the US recently has to be one of the most infuriating things. Yes they are evil, but the tariffs and Trump has very little to do with it. We’ve been perfectly content being the lapdog of the Great Evil, and continue to reap the benefits of being in the imperial core.
My playbook is using the tariffs and Trump to softly warm liberals to China. Like framing it pragmatically and pointing out that China is the much more stable superpower and has no designs on annexing us.
Getting hung up on all this talk of annexation is so perplexing to me. Canada is an American state in all but name. The US owns like 90% of the Canadian economy, dictates our foreign policy and even domestic policy in certain cases. And you could be forgiven for thinking we were voting in the US elections given the amount of Trump and Harris/Biden signs and flags plastered all over neighborhoods and even some businesses.
People think annexation requires military force and direct occupation. When it doesn’t. Canada is for all intents and purposes simply a raw resource depot for the US.
Peoples identities are mixed up with nationality, and so the idea of having that identity altered with overt force feels violating. Canadians are absolutely resentful of Americans exercising power over them, especially overt power that they cant ignore or trivialize. People are still pissed about the Arrow program and still proud of not going to Iraq.
So, the US is like the homelander and Canada is The Deep.
Oh god…
My point is the Americans don’t need to exercise hard power over Canada because Canada is already part and parcel with American imperialism in the form of the Anglo-American empire. These little spats over tariffs matter little in the overall geopolitical scheme of things and are a.useful distraction for the masses. Also, Canada was very involved with Iraq. Canadians commanded naval flotillas in the Persian Gulf and Canadian special forces participated in various operations.
Sure, and that’s why it’s very stupid for Trump to talk about it, because it would be stupid and pointless to do. It would upset a lot of people despite practically changing very little
For us though, it’s useful propaganda. “Hey maybe the country that keeps talking about invading and annexing us actually isn’t our ally and we should consider them a threat” is pretty convincing
Amerikkkan sucdems/progressives don’t care how many poor brown folks are killed and enslaved as long as they get their free healthcare/college and rainbow coloured drone operators.
Social-Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism.
Between this Platner nonsense and Bernie’s latest ‘tough on the border’ shit, being a principled socialist is feeling pretty

What so Dems can’t find people to support who don’t have Nazi tattoos? Also how is having a Nazi tattoo not preaching Nazi ideas
Our noble veteran Nazis
Their dejectable white trash klansman
dejectable
detestable?
Perhaps, my phone likes to invent words sometimes
better not have meant delectable
I draw the line at cannibalism
Well, unless I get stuck in the Andes or something
Or if someone pretty wants to take a bite out of me… :hyperflush:
if you get stuck in the Andes just eat some of the yummy chocolate mints that are everywhere
I do be loving them mints
Digestible?
“If Republicans have terrible people why can’t we!?”
This is essentially what they’re saying, wild shit
I willing to forgive a lot, there is so much propaganda and brainwashing in America that I am willing to welcome almost anyone who pushes past it and betters themself. The best zealot is a convert and all. But a blackwater merc? With a nazi tattoo? Are you kidding me?
also are we supposed to pretend that the guy who is supposedly a leftist working in leftist spaces and being antifascist himself didnt know at some point that the tattoo was a fascist symbol???
The entire American “progressive” left supported Ukraine since the war started in 2022.
Why are people continue to be surprised they’re sympathetic actual Nazis at home? It’s like everyone has forgotten and pretends that the last 3.5 years of lionizing Nazis did not happen.
‘NOT acted or preached neo nazi ideas’
Sweaty even without mentioning his time as a soilder of the empire he was a Blackwater(Constellis) mercenary, he doesn’t even have the same ‘I was bombarded with the cool Knight fighting a Lava Deamon ad since I was young’ excuse for it
Well you see it doesn’t count because his victims weren’t white
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
“I’m so sick of leftists being unwilling to overlook even the slightest oopsie a candidate may have done! We need to get rid of all these purity tests! 
Well, except the one …”How do these absolute fucking dunderheads not realize that even from a from a soullessly pragmatic point of view this hands massive win to the republicans? They will forever be able to say “democrats ran a dude with nazi tattoos and have the nerve to say that we’re the fascists?”
You’re asking too much of the left libs, all logic has left the room for years. They managed to lose an election to Donald Trump twice. They’ve spent years calling everything they don’t like nazism. Except actual nazis of course, they seem to like those in Ukraine, and now this guy with his SS totenkopf tatoo.
Reminder that these are the same people who will tell you “punching a nazi makes you as bad as a nazi”
Huh? I don’t think the Republicans even have someone with an SS totenkopf tatoo in office. Sure they get fash tattoos, but from stuff like the Crusades (see Hegseth) for plausible deniability reasons. We’re not at that stage yet where elected officials are walking around with nazi SS tatoos on their chests. Even the Republicans aren’t stupid enough to put that out in public, hence the outrage over the young republicans group chat and swastika US flag.
Also deeply ironic for these left lib ideologues who call everything they don’t like nazis (including us far left “tankies”, we’re also nazis to them), to be supporting someone with an SS totenkopf tatoo on their chest. How do they square that circle? The cognitive dissonance is massive. They’ve spent years calling everyone to both their left and right nazis, only to support a guy with a nazi tattoo over his heart!
i mean, republicans never really have any values besides the accumulation of power and wealth, so their “forgiveness” is performative. they don’t really give a shit what any member of the party says or does so long as it does not jeopardize their organizational or fundraising power.
this isn’t really a thing with an equivalency for people trying to build a political project based on universal human rights and equality, unless you want to talk about how the party leadership and organizational gatekeepers ratfuck anyone any candidate to the left of center-right for threatening to reduce the influence of Finance, Insurance & Real Estate based capital formations on the DNC through fundraising by talking about inheritance taxes, capital gains/transaction taxes, universal healthcare and housing for all.
instead we just get candidates that wanna do all the wars and genocides and provide unlimited funds to cops and soldiers for civil unrest as a baseline before heavily debating the arrangement of the deckchairs on this sinking ship.

I tend to disagree, the successful revolutionary leaders made some choices along the way that permitted or resulted in “bad behavior” with the greater success of the revolution in mind. A successful revolutionary movement will be impure.
This does not apply to Platner in any way (he is not a part of a revolutionary movement to start with, so he doesn’t get any grace). I do think it’s a good" that liberals are learning this lesson, but I obviously wish they weren’t excusing a liberal with a Nazi tattoo etc etc.
thats the thing, the “forgiveable bad behavior” of a leftist would be like overzealous/overenthusiastic punishment of counter revolutionaries, the families of enemy classes, etc.
something that wouldn’t negate the project or betray reactionary sentiments. for example, i don’t think a left movement should forgive or tolerate someone who engaged in pograms entering leadership, because their leadership would threaten the legitimacy of a universal coalition.
its hair splitting in a theoretical world, but seeing this lib say “nah this type of shit isn’t a big deal” is unacceptable, because specifically this type of shit is the biggest deal. its strategically dangerous even if he’s honestly repentant.
if, instead, it was someone who had supported overly enthusiastic political violence against landlords, that would be the “tolerable” thing we on the left should be open to forgiving for entry into leadership.
We can’t afford to have a Hitler gap!
Are they asking why gop gets to be obviously evil but dems can’t?
Or upset people don’t trust someone who did multiple tours voluntarily and still wants to give our military more money?
I think it’s as simple as “healthcare pls
”There’s one guy running who’s saying “We should have healthcare, housing should be cheaper, and genocide is bar” so people are willing to overlook a lot for it.
And ngl as much as I personally think this is totally disqualifying I think it’s a good sign that the libs are now willing to overlook insane shit in hopes of getting good policy vs before when they were overlooking insane shit to ensure nothing good ever happened
“Yeah Platner has issues but at least he wants good policies” is way better than “Yeah Joe Biden has issues but he’s also absurdly old and super evil”
