Yeah that’s why I’m skeptical of this guy actually being a Nazi lol

But then again the dude literally had a Nazi tattoo so that’s why this whole situation is so weird.

I guess I can personally see it being ignorance because I didn’t learn about 88 until the last couple years.

He got it in Croatia btw. To me, it’s plausible he didn’t know. He seems to have gotten progressively more disillusioned by his time in the military. Comments from 2018 like

If people “expect to fight fascism without a good semi-automatic rifle, they ought to do some reading of history,” he wrote in one since-deleted post. In another, he said that “an armed working class is a requirement for economic justice.”

don’t scream secret nazi to me. People comparing him to Fetterman is kinda silly to me considering Platner has called what’s going on in Gaza a genocide while Fetterman is a still supporter of Israel.

There’s a source out there, I guess, that claims they talked to Platner and he explicitly referred to his tattoo as “my totenkopf” but its an anonymous source who spoke to zionist publication Jewish Insider, so idk. Seems hit job-y to me.

Then again what the fuck do I know. The water is pretty muddy and its a terrible look regardless.

My socialism-hating uncle works at a “defense” company whose largest customer is…the United States. Isn’t that fuckin funny.

docker ps

I use navidrome to stream music from my desktop. Symphonium is my android client. It costs like 2 bucks but it’s real good. Lots of different UI options.

I haven’t done it myself since Im the only one using it…but I think in order to have somewhere your family can login and download music … That is a separate application from navidrome. Lidarr, Jackett, and somehow connect to qbittorent…I haven’t done it yet but I think that’s probably the route id go

Cool cool, yeah i was reading on the wikipedia that he fought in the war. Will probably pick that up next. Thanks!

I gotcha. I believe it. Have any book recs on the topic? Think this’ll probably be the my next lil history read after I’m done 100 Years War on Palestine

edit: topic being spanish civil war period

Thanks, I’ll read up on it.

But from what I’ve read so far, the violence wasn’t exclusively from anarchist groups and more of mass violence from all leftist groups during that time towards clerics and rightists?

Also who are these anarchists cleansing dissidents?

Thank you, Bo Burnham, for exposing me to the idea that

🎶Private property’s inherently theft, and neoliberal fascists are destroying the leeeeeft🎶

I mean, I think it’s a cringe comic for sure. I agree with your other comment about it in this thread. But to dismiss it as a strawman, as if it were an argumentative essay instead of the cringy make-fun-of-morons comic – that smells more of fascist tears than it does of concerned leftist.

Hmmm…sounds like we’ve got a fascist sympathizer on our hands…

Or in other words, a fascist.

I want our Brave ICE Officers to know that REAL Americans are cheering you on every day

Oh, how subtle. If you’re not cheering ICE on, you’re not a REAL American. So you should be deported too!

Those are fair viewpoints. I’m no marxist-leninist. But I will say, capitalism doesn’t work on large scale either. So why keep it around?

Edit: in other words I think what you say is accurate but doesn’t address the problems I brought up about liberals

Idk I feel like liberals are responsible for enabling people like trump by always trying to maintain the status quo of capitalist growth and the illusion that access to marketplaces = rights. In the case of women, of lgbtq folks, of brown people, etc. I feel like they are half the whole problem. They are also in service to capital, and perpetuate the myth that you can serve your community with integrity while also taking in loads of cash from large organization as a politician

Btw for anyone reading this, the original is about a US judge of Mexican heritage who was presiding over the Trump University fraud case.

Trump didn’t actually say this about Pope Francis, as far as we know.

I’m pretty sure they edited it when you pointed out the inaccuracy

Right. Only reason I mention it is because entwine (rightly) noted we should be accurate when critizing the administration, and then accidentally inaccurately described him as a legal immigrant. Legal or not, it was a miscarriage of justice to send this man to El Salvador.

Hey entwine, just an FYI – Kilmar Ábrego García was not a legal immigrant. He was an illegal immigrant (of course, this doesn’t mean he was charged with a crime) who was granted a protection from deportation to El Salvador by a US judge on the grounds that he would be in danger from El Salvadorean gangs. He has had a work permit since 2019.

Nevertheless, he was not granted due process and this administration is violating court orders.

It looks like funding is back on https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2025/04/16/cve-program-funding-cut-what-it-means-and-what-to-do-next/

However, in an eleventh hour turnaround, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said it had extended the contract with MITRE. “The CVE Program is invaluable to cyber community and a priority of CISA. Last night, CISA executed the option period on the contract to ensure there will be no lapse in critical CVE services,” a CISA spokesperson told me over email. "We appreciate our partners’ and stakeholders’ patience.”
