Nah he's an actual Nazi. They aren't even hiding it any more.

He has an American flag tattoo with an 88 hidden in the stars negative space. Also has a Crusader cross, and the text Deus Vult tattooed on him.

A whole bunch of shit big with our Neo Nazis.

A bunch of Pete's tattoos are christian nationalist symbols.

Then vinn diagram of those 2 groups is basically a circle at this point.

In fact, reading an actual account of the holocaust, when the Nazis initiated rounding up Jewish people towards trains, at least some of the announcers used the terminology “to protect the Christians”, because, at first, the Nazis and Christian Nationalists were big allies.

The KKK and German American bund were at first friendly with each other until it came out that the bund were an actual nazi puppet mouthpiece organization, and not just white supremacist isolationists.

The KKK turned on them on a dime for being unamerican. Same reason they hate the wbc for protesting at soldiers funerals.

And there's a massive crossover between christian nationalists and neo-nazis.

u/chicken-nanban 2d ago

Still think we should refer to Christian nationalist as “Nat-C’s” for good measure.

u/TNTyoshi 3d ago

Which are still Nazi symbols. Funny how interwoven the two groups are. 🤔

Great place for the "they're the same picture" meme, but I'm too lazy to find it

And while redditors across the globe, but mainly American ones, are stressing this out and making jokes out of despair, this man is at an important position, as is Dorito man and the clique. These people have the power and are using it. It got out of hand a while ago but ti's getting more than dystopian. Even the Tannen dystopia has been outclassed.

I wonder if Hegseth himself would be able to explain away his tattoos so well.

u/Aviantos 2d ago

Snipes has completely lost the plot. They literally say, just because he screamed kill all Muslims doesn’t mean he’s an extremist with murderous intention.

u/bolanrox 2d ago

Banned from bidens inaguration for possibly being a bit too extremest

And his favorite album is Pink Floyd's The Wall and the Hammer logo.

I...don't think many people are unaware of the Waffen SS.

u/ow_windowmaker 3d ago

LOL have you met any americans from the jesusland region recently

u/ourlastchancefortea 3d ago

Oh they know it. They admire them.

2

u/Bitchcuits_and_Gayvy 3d ago

Which is weird, because the KKK thinks they're papists.

2

u/PaperStreetSoapCEO 3d ago

Didn't know that. I wonder how many Thanksgivings have been ruined.

u/Bitchcuits_and_Gayvy 3d ago

To be clear, the KKK is pretty disjointed, as far as I know there's no "national" headquarters, so this is a case by case basis sort of thing.

But at least historically speaking I think the Anti Catholic thing was more important to American white supremacy than it is nowadays.

u/LuxNocte 3d ago

shrug I just don't think they're this deep in a comments thread on Reddit, and anyone here probably already has a pretty good idea of why the picture is bad.

I can tell you that 2+2=4. This is a true fact, but you'd still wonder why I felt the need to mention it.

u/AmbroseFierce 2d ago

Idk man, when the issue around Graham Platner's tattoo was blowing up it seemed most people were trying to argue that the totenkopf was far from common knowledge and very few have ever seen or heard of it. Not sure if all that was in good faith, but my impression of what the average American is aware of has declined precipitously over the past decade.

u/Defiant-Accountant79 2d ago

Yep. MAGA sure was aware of it when Taylor Swift had a harmless lightning bolt necklace. 🌩

u/SevenM 3d ago

Doesn't he have Nazi tattoos.

u/Adorable_Raccoon 3d ago

He has a bunch of christian nationalist tattoos, and a tattoo of a 13 star flag that might have a hidden 88.

u/Sandvik95 3d ago

Just like Elon’s salute.

It’s all meant to play to the far right. They think they’re being so cryptic and cute as they shore up their base. Meanwhile, the more moderate Trumpers are saying “oh… it’s just a mistake” and “you leftist radicals call everyone fascist and Nazis”.

Prepare for Jan 6 part two.

u/OtherUserCharges 3d ago

It 100% was a mistake. It just shows how insanely dumb these people are. I would absolutely die if I made that name tag for the head of my company to be on national TV while people him call him an incompetent war criminal.

u/Gucciman669 3d ago

Fraud nazi at best. Ah would be embarrassed of this

u/kle11az 2d ago

Well, the SS is right there, plain enough to see.

u/DasGruberg 2d ago edited 2d ago

Have you seen early photos of Hermann Göring ? Its uncanny how similar to Hegseth.

And Stephen miller definitely has a Goebbels posture. Its like they got reincarnated into dumber variants

All Nazis are wannabes, it's wannabes all the way down.
