Hypothetically, if right wing bourgeois, like let’s say the PayPal mafia, were to run supposedly progressive candidates to infiltrate and wreck the American left, wouldn’t it be the guy who went overseas for American imperialism several times, has a Nazi tattoo, and proudly worked for Blackwater??
Based on Platner’s past Reddit posts, he seems EXACTLY like a guy who would think going undercover as a leftist for nefarious purposes is really cool.
If American progressives can fall for this guy, they would fall for anything.
Just wait for Platner to win and pull a Fetterman 2.0
All the scumbag Stasserites in the American left would be pretending they never supported him.
The same type of sentiment reared its head in r/Trueanon (the closest thing to an actually leftist sub IMO), but at least there it was shouted down/downvoted.
so they admit they only vote based on optics and not based on whether or not the guy does the job
i guess you can very narrowly give him that he wasn’t there for the scandalous war crimes. he’s still a nazi tattooed blackwater mercenary and should be summarily executed on that basis, not elected to public office.
He fought against the Iraqi militants who infiltrated the camp to liberate detained Iraqi civilians.
and the lobbing grenades after being ordered to stop using artillery because of the excessive civilian casualties
he’s still a nazi tattooed blackwater mercenary
literally branded yet still called “progressive” somehow.
Yeah wilhelm may have worked at the camps but that doesn’t make him a Nazi! Give him a chance! I especially think he should be allowed near positions of political power
you must be confused comrade, wilhelm was in the resistance. everyone was in germany at the time.
What is the context here? Defending Platner or something else?
