I don't doubt that this is all true. In fact, I suspect it is. I don't trust platner at all. But the laser focus on the blackwater fridge magnet is weak.

I've worked for companies that I've hated that have given me sweatshirts and hats with their logo on it. I still wear them around the house because they are comfortable lol.

There is nothing to doubt. Platners stepbrother is an IDF propagandist it's proven.

Also Platner claimed not to work for Blackwater nor have ties with them (though he did). He didn't claim to 'not like them'.

A fridge magnet is something entirely different than a sweatshirt which has practical use.

Bruh I got the company I worked for 5 years ago's "save the date: 2017 company Christmas party" magnet on my fridge holding up my daughter's drawings. I would burn that place to the ground in a heart beat if I knew I'd get away with it. Fridge Magnets have a practical use. I'm not defending Platner, but the commentor you're responding to has a point.

why do you think it's a magnet? it looks like a sticker.

Except we can watch the video and see Platner collecting war crime insignia's for no other purpose than matching his Nazi tattoo.
