āWhile Susan Collinsā campaign is backed by billionaire donors, our campaign is built on a movement funded by the people, with an average donation of $26,ā said Graham Platnerās campaign manager.
A new analysis of campaign finance data shows that nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have contributed to Republican Sen. Susan Collinsā reelection bid so far, funneling nearly $10 million to the incumbentās campaign committee and PACs supporting her effort to fend off progressive challenger Graham Platner.
The Maine Monitor on Thursday published a list of billionaires who have donated to Collins and Platner, who has called his Republican opponent a ācorruptā protector and beneficiary of an oligarchic political system.
The outlet noted that Collinsā billionaire donation total āstands in stark contrast with the fundraising of her opponentā¦ whose campaign has mostly attracted smaller amounts of funds but from many more people.ā
I think we should. Because you donāt accidentally get a nazi tattoo because any shop willing to do nazi tats very quickly and rightfully gets a reputation as a nazi shop, and if youāre seeing a deathās head in their flash youāre seeing more nazi imagery. So he would have had to miss all of that. And everyone who ever saw it would have also had to have been unaware, and again despite your lack of awareness itās incredibly recognizable as an exclusively nazi symbol, itās up there with the iron cross right behind ss runes and the swastika. Itās right there on the ss caps. The fuckin Mitchell and Webb āare we the baddiesā sketch that everyone memes shows it front and center. It is not an ambiguous symbol and heās either lying about knowing what it was or really stupid. Heās still better than Collins, but you donāt accidentally get a nazi tattoo and Iām kinda tired of everyone minimizing this like itās no big fuckin deal. He gets the benefit of the doubt but everyone should be keeping him under a fucking microscope for any fuckery whatsoever.
Is it this iron cross thatās an exclusively Nazi symbol? Right up there with this one?
And youāre simply wrong that everyone knows the difference between this skull and crossbones and that one. Obviously the one on the SS cap is a bad one but no, people donāt generally keep track of the design details of skull insignia. What Iāll agree is that any skull tattoo should really make you wonder if perhaps weāre the baddies, but whatever. I find that St Pauli logo to be weird too.
And sure. Keep an eye on this guy. No disagreement. Youāre just making some really strong claims about symbols and other peopleās awareness.
The totenkopf is an exclusively nazi symbol. Reading comprehension is important because I was referring to recognizability as nazi imagery when referring to the swastika, ss runes and the iron cross. The ss runes and Nazi swastika on the point are also pretty solely related to nazism The iron cross is probably more recognizable than the totenkopf as nazi imagery but less exclusively related to nazism, whereas the totenkopf is associated solely with nazism. We clear now? Good. Because even with all that nobody accidentally gets a Nazi tattoo because nobody accidentally goes to a Nazi tattoo shop and any shop displaying a totenkopf for patrons to pick out is also displaying other nazi imagery because they will be known in the community for doing nazi tattoos and respectable tattoo shops and artists do not fuck with fascists. Itās just not something that can happen man.
