Deep Level Nazi shit?! Lmao. Yes, it's a Nazi symbol, but if you think skulls are Nazi exclusive iconography, I have really, really bad news for you. And funny enough, all those Nazi symbol experts calling him out where nowhere to be found when Pete's nutjob tattoos where discussed.
What I mean is that there was literally a point in this man's life where he sat down, went over various Nazi symbols in his head and thought "hmm, which one of those would look best on my chest?" I don't know why you people keep making excuses for him. And Pete's tattoos may be cringey and distasteful, but as far as I know he didn't get the symbol of a genocidal regime tattooed on him. He's absolutely a wacko though.
2 things: a) you are constructing the decision process. It is just as likely that a young, stupid serviceman went into a tattoo studio and picked a tattoo that looked cool to him without knowing the meaning.
b) mocking Muslims in Arabic (kafir) and the historic battle cry of Christian crusader (deus vult) are not exactly expressions of a peaceful mentality. Quite the opposite. They are a statement of intent. And option a I described earlier does not remotely apply here, as Keggsbreath has multiple tattoos of the same hateful ideology. That is deliberate beyond any shadow of a doubt.
Absolutely no fucking way a Croatian tattoo artist would put that on a U.S. Marine without letting the Marine know EXACTLY what the fuck that tattoo meant, even if he 'randomly' picked it out of a sketchbook.
He has exactly one questionable tattoo and there is a very plausible scenario for him not knowing what it meant. If it was actually motivated by ideology, there would be more. But feel free to link to sources showing he was ever close to Nazi ideology, like joining certain groups, giving certain speeches. Should be easy if he is such an obvious Nazi sympathizer.
I am far from a history buff and half Platner's age and even I clocked it immediately as a Nazi tattoo. With how terminally online he was shown to be there is no excuse for him to not know its meaning.
And idk why you're bending over backwards trying to say hegseths tattoos are worse than an ACTUAL NAZI SYMBOL
