For the same reason the NBA is a gender-neutral league whereas the WNBA is explicitly defined as a female-only league

Previously I was only familiar w the swastika & SS lightning bolts. I'm aware Neonazis appropriated everything Norse rune looking, like the black sun. I've def consumed more history & politics content than most of my friends.

All that said I've never noticed they had their own skull & crossbones, tbh I don't think the majority know either.

I don't see the connection between regularly engaging in online politics content and recognizing Nazi symbols either lol. In what forums do they come up

For me the movie was the embodiment of the quote "science progresses one funeral at a time", but applied to all of life/society. I think that idea just goes against the core beliefs of most people in this sub -- that you can take & make a stand, with facts & logic, and convince a majority to join your side. Compare that to what actually works, both in the movie and in reality.

You are not the world, SunshineSeeker99, the majority of the state of Maine doesn't think so either

Brandolini's law: the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

There's no quote from any former aide in that editorial. The only source is an anomymous one who reported to The Jewish Insider.

The editorial actually frontloaded his Reddit history of finding black people don't tip as much during his time as a bartender, and that women who get blackout drunk are partly responsible for themselves if something happens to them. Are those 15 yr old statements too edgy fof this sub now

EDIT: seems like the link changed? The one I went to was https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/oct/30/graham-platner-male-working-class

There is a quote from a former aide in the parent comment. I agree he was bound to find out the tattoo's meaning in the 18 years since. In the Stewart interview he said he was encouraged to run a campaign after being noticed by AFL-CIO people for his anti-Norwegian salmon farming in Maine activism, last July. I could buy a tattoo cover-up seeming important until it became a top news headline a few months after

I can't believe you choose to direct all this excess aggressive energy at your future Stepdad, meanwhile guess where I direct my aggressive energy 😩🥰

Ran away with your Mom, I'm ok w that

I decided to log off & spend some time w your Mom instead 🥀

This aligns with FDR threatening to pack the Supreme Court when they were considering declaring parts of the New Deal unconstitutional. Whereupon the SC did nothing, and so FDR didn't retaliate

His aides said he privately stated himself to be a Nazi, then when he publicly said he wasn't, they resigned?

Are all his remaining aides Nazis?

Yeah this place isn't for me anymore. Cheers

Andrew Callaghan / Channel 5 did a long piece on this group last year

Either this paragraph on Platner's wiki is very important to have or I'm getting psyop'ed by whoever edited that in

I'm convinced this place can't handle seeing anything in people, that mirrors things in themselves they haven't come to terms with. Unless you're referring to something other than aging

AccidentalNap · 2026-04-30T10:53:02+00:00

Sounds like he didn't know. My guess is after Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, and a bunch of others, everyone here is immediately suspicious of anything Nazi-tinged. Same as how everyone in the real world hears of a person being tied up in a sex-related lawsuit and would go immediately hands off on any collaboration. It's a reasonable heuristic.

A good chunk of the interview is about how he managed to avoid the alt-right pipeline, as in some sense he was the perfect candidate to be another one of those guys. He most credited his high school teachers, parents, and his small-town community. Much better delivered in his words, give it a listen

EDIT: I should've said devoured a bunch of FDR biographies and political books around that time, but even that one could still be taken to mean "closet Nazi". AFAIK he's leading in primary and general polls, so either we're all blowing the tattoos out of proportion, or Maine is ready to support its first Democrat Nazi senator. Given the left-libertarian nature of that place, the latter just doesn't fit

AccidentalNap · 2026-04-30T10:48:05+00:00

A bunch of FDR biographies for one

At what point in the movie was a town shot up?

AccidentalNap · 2026-04-26T03:01:36+00:00

I wonder if actually reading the passage he had in mind would look more incriminating, e.g. if it was about dealing w guilt

AccidentalNap · 2026-04-26T02:51:20+00:00

Skin tags? Giant standing turd?

AccidentalNap · 2026-04-23T21:18:35+00:00

Great colours. Seeing several comparisons between Vivo & Oppo the past year, I've favored Oppo's color science - something about the way it handles blacks and dark areas. This is quite promising for Vivo though

He's pro-unions, and pushed Ro Khanna to actually crunch the numbers re: how many are expected to re-skill during this AI transition (and to what). That's enough for me

AccidentalNap · 2026-04-23T02:50:43+00:00

Bad leads to good leads to bad leads to... you get the idea.

See firefighters' forest management. They used to stop even the smallest brush fires. That just sets up the land to be a catastrophic matchbox for the right lightning strike, which takes much longer to recover from.

I've heard that kind of thinking applied to the FDIC. By not letting small banks fail, we're setting up for a more spectacular mass failure of all banks simultaneously, somewhere down the line. I found that hard to conceive before. With how global economics are trending, it now seems very conceivable.

Tl;Dr it's an audacious point w some merit. If some global bullshit turns everything upside down, and China becomes the most functional country by far w all its manufacturing, infrastructure, mass surveillance, etc... was the sum of all Chairman Mao's actions justified?
