“NS” Culture Makes Headlines

October 27, 2025 Hunter Wallace Culture, Neo-Nazis, NS, Wignatism 21

“NS” found its way into the news cycle last week in two hilarious stories.

CNN:

“Deleted social media comments and an interview with an acquaintance undercut Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s claims this week that he only recently learned that a tattoo on his chest had Nazi origins.

A KFile investigation has uncovered mounting evidence that Platner — a Marine veteran— was aware of and defended the use of Nazi symbolism that had come to be embraced by some members of the military.

In one thread from 2019, Platner weighed in on a conversation about the “Totenkopf” — the skull-and-crossbones emblem worn by Nazi SS units that his own tattoo would later draw scrutiny for resembling — to note that many US service members had adopted similar imagery, such as the Punisher skull used by some Navy SEALs. …

Following a wave of news coverage this week, Platner has had the tattoo covered up. …

His campaign has since fielded questions about whether Platner was aware of the tattoo’s resemblance earlier than he has said. Jewish Insider first reported about the former acquaintance, who recalled Platner referring to the image as “my Totenkopf” in a joking way more than a decade ago. CNN spoke with that same acquaintance, who reiterated the recollection. …”

First, the revelation that Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner had a Totenkopf tattoo for nearly twenty years has raised questions about whether Planter is a secret Nazi. In deleted Reddit posts, Platner has dismissed rural Whites as racist and stupid, called himself a communist and an Antifa supersoldier and was a member of Maine’s Socialist Rifle Association where he provided tactical firearms training to violent leftists. He is probably telling the truth that he got the skull and crossbones tattoo as a drunk Marine in Croatia in 2007 as there is nothing about his paper trail of internet posts that otherwise suggests he has any sympathy for National Socialism. The most charitable explanation of this is that he saw the symbol and just thought the tattoo looked cool.

Alternatively, maybe Graham Platner really is a deep undercover wignat with a salad bowl ideology who is trying to infiltrate the Democratic Party. “NS” culture is incoherent. There are plenty of Third Worldists like “110 Times” who claim to be “NS” who say they hate White people and Christianity, who rant and rave about “rightoids” and “whiteoids,” who sympathize with Antifa out of anti-Zionism, who want to destroy America, liberate non-Whites and who are loyal to international socialism. It has no connection to historic National Socialism, but these people exist and I wrote about them this morning.

I tend to believe Platner’s story. He is not a secret wignat. If that were true, he would not be running for office and polling ahead of the sitting governor in the Democratic primary because “NS” rejects political activity. The authentic “NS” position is that “there is no political solution.”

Second, in this separate, unrelated story, a man got into a fight and was arrested in Athens, GA after dressing up in a Halloween costume as a Nazi SS officer to trigger the libs at a college bar.

New York Post:

“A bozo dressed as a Nazi was arrested Friday after he allegedly smashed a glass beer pitcher in a woman’s face and broke her nose outside a Georgia bar.

Kenneth Leland Morgan allegedly tried to enter Cutters Pub late Thursday dressed as a Nazi Gestapo officer when he was confronted and prevented from entering by multiple outraged patrons, cops confirmed. …”

Of the two stories, this one is more classic “NS.”

In liberal societies, National Socialism is coded as evil, so people who are sociopathic or seeking attention will dress up in period costumes purely for the sake of trolling and provoking a reaction from their target audience, not to accomplish anything in politics. It is all a joke.

The thing that Platner and Morgan have in common is using symbols and artifacts of a defunct foreign regime for their own purposes whether it is to look cool and menacing or to provoke other people to generate a reaction. Neither Platner or Morgan are doing anything that is authentic “National Socialism.” Americans, however, are prone to reacting to these people as if they were real “Nazis.”

There are no real Nazis anymore. They are all dead. There are just LARPers, fans and artifacts.

  1. While I certainly enjoy seeing a leftist hoisted by his own petard, I’m appalled by the historical ignorance which thinks the Totenkopf was invented by the SS.

    In fact Prussian hussars were wearing it long before them, and of course it’s also a famous pirate emblem. Its original intent was simply to convey the kind of badassery which many in today’s militaries also aspire to.

    It’s unfortunate that, like the swastika, it’s been tarred by its use by the Nazis. But to think it has no meaning outside their use of it is just ignorant.

    Hitler was a vegetarian, does that mean vegetarianism is coded as a Nazi thing too?

    • Most shitlibs are fine with the right kind of Nazis though. They support jewish-funded Azov nazis in fake-and-gay Ukraine, whose chief activity these days is killing the hapless meat kidnapped off the streets and shoved into the meat-grinder if they try and escape or surrender. Except the part where fat-jews are obeyed and left untouched, these Azov nazis seem to be closely modeled on the German kind that grew in Hitler’s era.

  2. Yet somehow Overton window needs to be moved. We can not live in the environment when enemy enforces dress codes, speech codes etc. We need to turn the tables and start enforcing our rules to them.

    Normal people will never ever do this so we need weirdos on make Nazism and antisemitism great again. Antifascism must become new antisemitism and when someone claims that Fuhrer moustaches were too short then there must be serious consequences for adolphobic hate speech.

      I agree with you completely. Groups are using Nazis to poison people’s minds about the advantages of nation Socialism and pretend it’s all about Nazis. It’s not. National Socialism is not about Nazis. It’s about controlling large Oligarchical corporations. Giving tax breaks to families and channeling tax funds to regular people instead of giving massive, stupendous tax and other financial incentives to large corporate entities like we do now. It has nothing to do with Nazis. For some reason Hunter is, in my opinion, gas-lighting us that anything NS is somehow a big Nazi copycat dufus operation. This is not true and a handful of strange people larping as Nazis, and don’t forget it’s likely a large percentage of those are deep State agents of some sort, does not in any way mean everything NS is Nazi.

      I’ll give you a simple example. During the housing banking crisis, that the banks caused,they got $800 billion in straight up cash and documented $16 trillion of practically zero interest loans. People using public financial documents say the blanks got over $29 trillions dollars of low interest loans. And I’ve seem some estimates of excess of $40 trillion. Now what if we did this the NS way. Well let the crooked banks fail and give the zero interest loans to families. If it was a the same level of 16 trillion that would be a low or zero interest loan of $53,333.33 per person or $213,333 per family of 4. If it’s the 30 trillion which is likely an accurate figure and it’s likely even more [they got 9 trillion during the covid scam], then it would be $100,000 per person. Think of how this could benefit the average person and not to mention the economy with a very broad base distribution of wealth. People buying homes and all the material things they put in them. Some people are crushed by student or other loans these could be refinanced with their share of the zero interest loans. It would save the average person a fortune and super charge the economy.

      Now some people has criticized this as it would just lead to inflation that ate up the gains. They are not totally wrong because this is what we have now. Right now except the people who got all the cheap loans and the cash are the already wealthy bankers, they bought vast parts of the economy and raised prices on everything to squeeze the consumer of every last penny they can. So we got the inflation and the bills and they got the cash.

      Japan is a prime example of a direct NS economy. They went from being totally destroyed and with no natural resources to being one of the richest countries on the planet. The financial class likes to boast that they have not had growth like before and almost no growth but they fail to point out that their population is falling and while growth is slow the “per person” GNP growth means that the individual has better and better living conditions. They do not have a mass third word invasion and their cities are safe, clean and super functional compared to our increasingly ghettoized nation. China did much the same with mixed results but seeing as people went from starvation and living in mud huts to far better circumstances you can’t say it’s a failure.

      National Socialism can be made to work and however imperfect, it’s not and no system is, it’s far better than the steady degradation and despair of the present clown world we live in now.

      All Hunter’s pointing out people with swastika tattoos and larping FEDS in brown shirts has nothing to do with NS.

  3. “Stop with the role play, it’s a joke, it’s not going to work for anybody”

    Neither is that religion headquartered in Rome.

    Ironically, some of the most authentic “National Socialists” today can be found in China. Chinese “Communism” relies heavily on autarkic nationalist themes.

    And many extreme “NS” clowns in the West are actually carrying water for these Chinese National Socialists with their anti-American third-worldist propaganda. I noted that Andrew Anglin, who attacked almost everyone, never seemed to attack China or the Chinese, and even actively attacked those who attacked them. I frankly suspect Anglin had been bought off by the Chinks somehow.

    • That’s a very good point. The Chinese would be fast to remind you that National Socialism was arguably birthed in China under Sun Yat-Sen after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty. The CPC still reveres Sun as a founder, as does the Kuomingtang in Taiwan. Xi’s government owes more to Sun than it does to Mao.

        Interesting – did you know that Sun Yat-sen started his career as a violent Christian fundamentalist (or “Christian nationalist”)?

        “First, Christians, both foreigners and Chinese converts, set the example of temple destruction and iconoclasm, such as the young Sun Yat-sen, who begun his career by smashing a statue of Guandi (also, incidentally, the protector of the Qing dynasty; Shi Zhouren 2002, 153-54).36

        36. One may also mention the case of gangs of Christian students who toured and vandalized Canton temples in 1911 (Rhoads 1975, 254-55).”

    • Viisaus,

      Finally someone connects the dots even though the dots have different names. YES! China is the living embodiment of National Socialism in the modern day. To deflect from this fact is why they support groups like Antifa and others on the Left who point and sputter at Patriots for being Nazis and Fascists. In turn, the NS activists are likewise looking to China, receiving some money, and parroting Chinese propaganda. At some point these two forces will merge with the neo-liberal globalists of the type like Klaus Schwab and will attempt to recreate National Socialism as an international movement. If they succeed, we are most definitely phucked as a free and independent group of nations.

    David Duke and Tom Metzger ran for office, both as Democrats if memory serves. I’m not sure if they count as Nazis however since their authentically American Klan credentials were obvious. No xenophilia there just wholesome Americanism!

    • Duke is more of a human rights activist who moved on from the Nazi LARPing a lifetime ago. He was done with it by the 1980s. Terrible Tommy was one of a kind.

      Reply

      • Duke may say he has stopped being a Nazi Larpist, but his activities in promoting Nazi Anti-Semitism and other memes of the Nazi regime such as it’s Anglophobia endures.

        Just try to listen to his show and take a drink every time he says the word “Jew.” You’ll be drunk within 15 mins and passed out within half an hour.

        Duke also ruined his standing by attending Nick Fuentes’ Detroit fiasco which I am pleased to have played a key role into turning into a fiasco.

        Not pleased to have seen Duke, Fitpatrick, and Taylor make a fool of themselves by attending as the chaos and insanity swirled around them while Nick ran away with all the money and didn’t pay anybody anything.

  8. He might just be “LARPing” but nevertheless there’s something very manly about how the guy in the SS uniform stood his ground against that femoid leftist. We need more of that spirit in society, that bravery, the spirit of Adolf Hitler.

    Compare that to the spirit of Trumpism, medical quacks who oppose all modern medicine, religious fanatics who want laws against blasphemy, dolts who oppose eugenics. I would rather be ruled by Jews than live under the tyranny of these “Judeo-Christian” freaks:

  9. @Exalted Cyclops, Viisaus, and Hunter Wallace,

    Yep. Exalted is once again 100% correct on all counts….this is getting weird.

    The points raised by Exalted are why we must work to ensure Taiwan becomes an independent country and jettison the one China policy.

    It’s also why we must be very careful of dealings with the Kuomintan because they are heavily embedded within the CPC socio-economic structure and wish to re unite with China.

    It’s conceivable that at some point elements of the CPC and KT will change their names and unite under a one China policy thereby integrating Taiwan into China. This would be bad for the West and the USA.

    All of these points are why things are way more complicated than it’s “Duh, Jews” or “Muh, Israel.” This blinkered outlook on the world is why the “Dissident Right” almost always gets outflanked on every single campaign.

    To put how complicated consider that the original KT leadership, including Sun Yat Sen, Chang Kai Shek and his wife Madame Kai Shek, who I got to meet a couple of times, were Protestant Christians. They and their Prod inner circle dominated the KT.

    However, most of the rank and file of the KT who were Christian were Papists. The later eventually pushed out much of the influence of the Prod KT and were certainly responsible for some of the transfer of support from the KT to the CPC during the fall of China.

    Today, the Papists dominate in China among the Christians. They are among the biggest pushers of One China policy in China and Western countries. They were also big supporters of the West’s former neo-liberal trade policy with China which saw it turn into a industrial super power.

    Yep, way more complicated. But, by all means, continue looking for “Duh, Jew” under every rock and see how far that gets you.

    • “Bad for the West”? The West is already a shambling zombie of a civilization that needs a bullet to the brain. The US Republic died a very long time ago. Both are ruled by traitors, fools, and “Globalists”.
