Why can't you believe the guy had a nazi tattoo until last week and volunteered to spent years murdering undesirables completely changed his mind in a very convenient, opportunitic moment.

If you think about it, the real Holocaust is not believing white supremacists

The "progressive wing" of the controlled opposition branch of the single-party US state, trying to push a literal former abu ghraib (the US torture camp in Iraq) prison guard as a candidate.

All these muslim-murderers should be in prison for their crimes.

Hey, you ever read about the annihilation - sorry, rehabilitation of Americans by the Euro settlers? The ones they called Indian because their complexion is similar to folk from a certain other, already colonised land? This screams 'you're uncivilised and savages if you don't look, talk and quack like us'

What can you expect
From filthy little heathens?
Their whole disgusting race is like a curse

Their skin's a hellish red
They're only good when dead
They're vermin as I said, and worse

They're savages, savages

Barely even human

Savages, savages

Drive them from our shore
They're not like you and me
Which means they must be evil
We must sound the drums of war

They're savages, savages
Dirty shrieking devils

Now we sound the drums of war

Oh wow can you show me those posts where he regrets killing subhuman brown people? Surely Jacobin isn't making it all up.

In that Twitter video he says he is incredibly proud of who he has become by massacring all those innocent Iraqi civilians.

Not hearing any regret

You gotta be trolling. I'm not responding to you at this point, but posting for anyone who reads that comment without watching the video.

In the video he appologizes multiple times, condemns both wars he fought in, and says he regrets what he said and did in the past. He says his journey made him who he is today, and he's proud of who he is today.

P.S. In the Jacobin article is a screenshot of a post where he explicity condemns mistreatment/violence against innocents and civilians by the military.

You can respond if you like. I'm disengaging and will not reply.

Edit: I'm not defending a dem. I don't like the liberals. I don't necessarily believe Platner is a good guy, but this comment is misinformation and purity politics at its worst.

What timestamp in the video? Mine is 3:50

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Plus we got all the shit he’s said about how he feels about his past here:

That article is about him distancing himself from overly left wing things he said, not sure time as a fascist storm trooper

Based on everything I have seen, he has remorse, as well as disgust for US foreign policy and his role in it.

I linked the video to provide more information for people to make up their own minds.

Can you quote these sentences

Look, if you want a monkey to dance for you, go to the zoo.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

Okay so you are lying and I wasted my time. Thanks for confirming.

[-] PearOfJudes@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

When did he say this?

[-] juche_fan@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

oh hey thats on the ghislaine maxwell subreddit

[-] AlexLost@lemmy.world -3 points 11 months ago

Have you lived their way of life? How can one have an opinion so firm for something they have never experienced? Bring a slave to capitalism is t all it's cracked up to be you know. They talk a good talk but rarely do they follow through on those promises.
