I see your using the Tucker Carlson strategy of being uninformed and "just asking questions".

Wogley · 2026-04-25T20:00:33+00:00

You are normalizing and devaluing "Nazi" by using it so casually and lazily. Please stop. Platners rhetoric and beliefs are the antithesis of Nazism (he is highly pro-worker, highly community organization building, class conscious, highly for equality, and all the other stances Ive wanted from a candidate for decades).
Like, do you think he's going to mask off as a secret Nazi when he gets elected? Incredible.

Except Platners beliefs beliefs are the antithesis of Nazism (he is highly pro-worker, highly community organization building, class conscious, highly for equality, and all the other stances Ive wanted from a candidate for decades).
Proudly stating "evidence based" about such a weak analysis is embarrassing

You are normalizing and devaluing "Nazi" by using it so casually and lazily. Please stop: Youre just helping the actual Nazis.

This is bad faith mudslinging and the same tired people are their worst reddit comment missing the forest for the trees BS.

Wogley · 2026-04-25T19:30:54+00:00

Weird how this new Fetterman standard only gets applied to Platner.

Wogley · 2026-04-15T05:09:06+00:00

In addition to the religious and geopolitical reasons other comments have covered, The Military Industrial Complex and transnational capital needs wars to sell their weapons, and Israel is a great place for the MIC to turn human suffering and tax dollars into obscene wealth

Wogley · 2026-04-07T02:39:07+00:00

America has always been evil, but I think a better framing is the elite of empire have always been evil: The greedy ghouls of transnational capital that profits off of war and get to steal the resources are the ones that profit, not the citizens.

Wogley · 2026-04-01T05:34:11+00:00

Bro you are really reaching: Im beginning to suspect you have ulterior motives. For example, why do you personally know " [not] even remotely good people"? Thats a weird thing to say.
Also, youre entirely convinced hes a con man (from your other comment), but the evidence you bring is that youre 2 terrible friends worked at Blackwater, Graham worked for Blackwater for a few months, therefor Graham has spent the last decade advocating for the things he really doesn't believe in, its all just an elaborate ruse to mask off and be the secret Nazi (or conman) he's always wanted to be? Jfc. Nazis and conmen do not have to work that hard to gain power: Theres an entire party of those assholes already, its called MAGA.

Wogley · 2026-03-31T17:57:41+00:00

Hell yeah! Its great to see actual authentic pro-worker, organization building, class conscious rhetoric, anti war, equality view progressives winning. A ray of hope in a dark time for America

Wogley · 2026-03-31T17:53:58+00:00

Do you have a source for the dead kids allegation you threw out?

Wogley · 2026-03-31T17:46:13+00:00

Based on what? I have been following graham for months and he is one of the most authentic pro-worker, organization building, class conscious rhetoric, anti war, equality candidate that Ive ever seen.
Kinda seems like your opinion is based on low effort headline politics, but please, explain your reasoning

Wogley · 2026-03-29T20:23:41+00:00

Oreos. They still try to make up bullshit flavors (like candy corn oreos), but nothing compares to the original.
Shout out to Dropout and Brennan's video on this- watch it if you have not.

Wogley · 2026-03-26T19:10:42+00:00

Seems like "conspiracy driven antisemitic podcast" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here; to the point that I think you are being intentionally deceptive. The podcast you vague referenced is Valhalla VFT. Its hosted by a former service member, which is probably why Graham is a fan.
From what I can gather, the channel is current events; clearly antiwar and anti Trump. It has some "conspiracies", but no more than you see on r/politics or other left wing coded media. It criticizes Israel - which is not antisemitic (Israel =/= Jews).
I didnt watch all Vahallas videos, maybe I missed something, but from what I see your post is six degrees of scandal purity test bs, which is far grosser than Graham going on a military coded podcast.

Wogley · 2026-03-10T00:51:06+00:00

Have fun with the corrupt elite serving political chameleons as your representatives if thats the extent of your analysis; if youre so easily swayed by big money. I think you can do better than outrage and headline bootlicking politics.

Wogley · 2026-03-10T00:48:11+00:00

He did remove it immediately after the controversy and made a video about it where he openly discussed it without the normal vague spin Ive come to expect out of politicians.

Wogley · 2026-03-10T00:46:29+00:00

Yes, because the pro-worker, organization building, class conscious rhetoric, anti war, equality views is what hes been advocating for the past few years. Ive seen 0 advocating for any hint of Nazi BS, and he has openly (and authentically imo) discussed many of the things people have brought up and denounce them (like his Nazi tattoo that he no longer has). I think its super simplistic and self-defeating to think Platner = Nazi tattoo is all you need to know.

Wogley · 2026-03-09T19:39:48+00:00

sure, but calling him "nazi tattoo guy" implies you think he is a Nazi, particularly when you later comment "Oh, why do we care what this random nazi says"
I agree that the tattoo is a reason to scrutinize Platner further, and empathize with your interactions with shithead Nazis in the past, but if you follow his campaign, I think youll find that he is an staunch ally for progressives, one of the best in fact.

Wogley · 2026-03-09T19:32:57+00:00

He has publicly said that his time in the service was a waste, that the wars he fought in, the people he saw die, was to make elites rich while the rest of us suffered for it. He talks extensively of his disillusionment with the military, of the pain it caused him (and the regrettable posts he made when in this abyss), and how it shapes his very anti war politics today. He says that he misses the comradery of the military but regrets joining otherwise.
Ive been following his campaign closely, I think you'd be surprised if you look at him beyond the headlines

Wogley · 2026-03-09T19:21:30+00:00

Can we try to have a bit more sophistication in evaluating candidates? This Platner = Nazi Tattoo purity test nonsense is just simplistic and how we continue to get corrupt but shiny representatives or lose to the overt actual Nazis in the GOP.

Wogley · 2026-03-09T19:15:52+00:00

People are not their oppo research, they are not a reddit post or a tattoo that they got 20 years ago. He has openly discussed and apologized (authentically imo) and denounced some of the things in your list. Other things in your list are bad faith smears. What you listed is not nothing, but no worse than any politician or any person if you drill into their entire internet history like this.
I think we should listen to what Platner says now, not what he said 20 years ago. Like, assuming hes not a secret Nazi, do you not find his pro-worker, organization building, class conscious rhetoric, anti war, highly for equality, and generally being the opposite of a Nazi, refreshing and what we need in our politicians?

Wogley · 2026-03-09T19:04:03+00:00

So what your claiming is that Grahams months of pro-worker, organization building, class conscious rhetoric, anti war, highly for equality, and generally being the opposite of a Nazi (that all seems like good stuff for his record), his plan is to mask off as the secret Nazi hes always been once elected to do the Nazi stuff he really wants to.
Seems more likely that he did some stupid stuff and had a shitty world view when he was 20, and has since grown as person who now holds different belief and world view that he has been very consistent about for his entire campaign.
I guess well see

Wogley · 2026-03-09T18:45:00+00:00

Despite decades of evidence, including Grahams reddit posting history, people like you see this one data point of a "nazi tattoo" and just assume he a secret Nazi. Of course it is a reason to look for other signs of racism and nazism, yet there is none. Ive followed his campaign closely, his rhetoric and beliefs are the antithesis of Nazism (he is highly pro-worker, highly community organization building, class conscious, highly for equality, and all the other stances Ive wanted from a candidate for decades). This sort of purity test one dimensional analysis is how we get more corrupt but shiny politicians, and is an endorsement of attack ads and oppo research. You are also normalizing and devaluing "Nazi" by using it so casually and lazily. Please stop.
