In October 2025, various news outlets reported on past Reddit posts by Platner between 2013 and 2021 in which he called himself a "communist", declared that "all" cops are "bastards", and agreed with a post describing White people as "racist and stupid".[36] In a 2013 Reddit discussion about anti-rape underwear, Platner commented that people worried about assault should "take some responsibility for themselves and not get so fucked up they wind up having sex with someone they don't mean to".[37] He also referenced political violence in multiple posts; in 2018, he wrote: "Fight until you get tired of fighting with words and then fight with signs, and fists, and guns if need be." Platner also said that "an armed working class is a requirement for economic justice" and urged readers to "Get Armed, Get Organized. The Other Side Sure As Hell Is

Depends - was the assault comment directed at assailants or victims?

I read that wrong. He was talking about victims. The comments are from 2013.

He also claims then 'he was at his lowest point in life after 4 tours of Iraq, dealing with PTSD and didn't know what the fuck he was talking about'.

Also, remember that this is cherry-picking the worst possible way of phrasing the worst possible excerpts they can pick out from over ten years of random shitposting. You have no idea what the context was for any of this stuff. You don't know if the part he "agreed" with was the same as the part of the whole other person's message that said white people were racist and stupid. And so on.
