I love it that Nazis are too damn stupid to give their allies plausible deniability and keep covering everything in swaztikas.
The Allen Texas mall shooter was a great example - the right wing media tried arguing he was Hispanic, and that he wasn't right-wing - his huge swaztika tattoos were a false flag... That he wore for years. Even your average Fox viewer isn't buying that.
I have some bad news for you about the average Fox viewer.
That they're morons (I know), or that even those morons see through the bullshit (they seem to in this case, but I may be wrong).
He didn't actually die, it was all staged, and the tattoos were the temporary ink tattoos.
This is sarcasm but maybe I shouldn't give the conspiracy theorists any more ideas.
The most ridiculous part is how self-contradictory the right wing media explanations get. Like he's a false flag to make right wing white nationalists look bad, but simultaneously he's an example of how dangerous Hispanic immigrants are. Firehouse of misinformation - hopefully something sticks, right!?
Poe's law is what it is I guess...
The contradiction is no accident though - it's a necessary element of fascism - the enemy must always be both pathetically weak and an existential threat.
