    It’s only an “obvious Nazi symbol” because you’ve chosen to call it that to slander Platner.

    Before this campaign, you wouldn’t have been able to pick it out from a line up of pirate flags. You’re full of it.

      No sir, I don’t give a fuck about Platner, I call them obvious Nazi symbols because it’s literally what comes up in the first image when you Google “obvious Nazi symbols”, you fucking doofus.

        My whole first page was swastikas. You want to complain about “obvious falsehoods”, don’t lie about such easily checked shit, you fucking doofus.

        Oh hey, look at all this Nazi symbolism!

        How many pirate movies have been picketed by Jewish rights groups? Pirate movies feature deaths head flags quite prominently. If the actual Holocaust remembrance and Jewish rights organizations don’t have a problem with it, then you’re probably just being a moron.

          Are you really too stupid to tell the difference between a pirate flag and a Totenkopf?

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
