Did Platner just want to kill brown people? That man went for several tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, he was literally a prison guard at Abu Ghraib, he joined the most infamous mercenary outfit of that period of imperialist genocide in the Middle East, i'd be really surprised if he hasn't murdered people himself.

"I was just attracted to military service, so I certainly wasn't gonna miss out on my generation's war."

"I wanted to play soldier"

"[I would've fought in] the Indian Wars, the Phillipines, Haiti and Nicaragua in the 1920's, Vietnam, Nicaragua and El Salvador again in the 80's. As for would have, I 'did' for Iraq and would love to get to the Ghan. Small wars are pretty enjoyable. It's the big ones, with days of artillery fire and inhuman brutality that take the fun out of fighting"

at this point the tattoo is the least disgusting things about this prick

This guy downloaded his personality from full metal jacket when he was 15

I honestly thought the whole thing about him wanting to kill brown people was an exaggeration but no, the more I read about him, I’m more convinced he actually enjoyed murdering Iraqi and Afghan civilians. He allegedly said he’d r*pe someone if they broke into their house, just to establish a sense of dominance. This dude is fucking depraved, even amongst libs.

He 100% has. He talked openly about how much he loved combat.

You’d think Chris Smalls SA’d someone or undermined the entire labor movement if you read the Jacobin article and the trueanon subreddit. The level of vitriol is just fucking weird.

They see the laundry list of terrible shit Platner has done and say you need to be OK with it because he's just a smol bean pushing for M4A and an antizionist.

Chris Smalls pushed for Amazon workers to organize and put his life on the line for Palestinians, but, oh no he might have let the spotlight get to him a bit.

Weird how pointing out Platner's history is a smear, but suddenly they feel the need to bring down a POC labor organizer.

Purely by a bunch of racist radlibs.

It's just wild stuff.

lmao wtf r/TrueAnon is falling for this shit?

lol the sub got colonized by radlibs, the oldheads don’t rear their heads much unless it’s to defend using ableist slurs

I guess it is to be expected being reddit after all.

You know it’s over when posts from the sub start hitting r/all. That and being liberal “ironically” to try to avoid getting banned attracting actual liberals.

Honestly expect to start seeing Occupy Democrats memes being shared unironically by the end of the decade

There was a thread immediately following the Jacobin story, and the sub’s initial reaction to it, by a amazon union worker who brought up legitimate grievances about his leadership and his abilities as an organizer but drenched it in the same nagging and derisive tone as that of the Jacobin article.

A lot of the criticisms may be fair but why tear down the character of a comrade? Immediately following the release of his book, at that. Just seems weird, almost suspect.
