I had not heard of the totemkof before this or knew that it was a Nazi symbol I think it's totally possible that he just thought the skull was cool. Like honestly as an American we are really dumb and uneducated as can be seen here since most people don't know what that is.

There are witnesses to him jokingly referring to it as his 'totenkopf' like 8 years ago when he worked at a bar. Anyone interested in military history should probably be aware of it as well.

Yeah I can believe being a stupid drunk soldier getting a skull tattoo not knowing what it was. But then not making the first possible appointment to cover the fucking Nazi symbol as soon as you realized this? Nah. I hate this shit.

I think it was more of a crazy story tattoo than a Nazi tattoo to him

This guy was listing wars he'd like to fight in, because they were against civilians. This guy does not see the world in a normal way set all

But hey, his positions are on point. I'm not going out on a limb for him, but maybe chud-coded progressives are a viable strategy

Do you have more info?

I can't find the original posts... Search engines are unusable these days

But the one that stood out to me was when he was saying his preferred wars to fight in would be ones like the Philippines or Afghanistan, so that he could get the rush of combat without the danger of actual opposition

Most of the posts people are freaking out about are ignorant shit I have no problem looking past... Casual bigotry is something you can grow out of easily with experience

But the dude has a thing with violence and war I find more concerning... But he does seem like a principled progressive, so I think it's worth giving him a shot
