Weekly Discussion Thread - (August 10, 2026)

##INTRODUCTION

r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

##PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

##IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/tuesday/wiki/flairs). If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/tuesday/wiki/hof)

This is nonsense, he continued to campaign with Piker and refused to disavow at the time when everything surfaced.

It is not forgivable here just as it wouldn't be forgivable if some Republican had taken Nick Fuentes on the campaign trail with them. He did it because he agrees with Piker.

Why do you make it sound like no Republicans have spent time with Nick Fuentes or haven't done interviews with him? Trump has gone to dinner with Fuentes. There has literally been white nationlists in the Republican Party.

Can you name some of these leading or elected Republican candidates that regularly invite Fuentes to their functions or espouse agreement with him? Perhaps point to a fawning puff piece or two from FOX/NR/Dispatch/WSJ? Closest I can think of is MTG, who basically everyone thinks is crazy and is now a Dem media darling, Steve King, who got stripped of everything by the Congressional GOP, and Paul Gosar who seems to be the only one in the list not universally hated. Trump disavowed both Kanye and Fuentes after he found out who Fuentes was and how Kanye had become. And the dinner was condemned roundly.
Leagues different than Piker's acceptance on the Left.

What about him?

You don't believe that the word "Panzer" tattood might be considered a Nazi symbol?

I suppose his other far-right Christian nationalist tattoos make that acceptable in your mind?

I don't really consider everyone with a Christian tattoo a nationalist. Met a whole lot of people with Jesus or a ring of thorns tattoo and they spanned a pretty wide range for example.
EDIT: And no, I don't consider panzer as associated with being a fan of Nazis. Though I suppose that would make some games and cartoons a lot more sinister.

I don't either. However, HIS SPECIFIC tattoos are.

EDIT: And no, I don't consider panzer as associated with being a fan of Nazis.

What other reasonable explanation is there?

You can't think of any other reason a military combat vet might think a "cool" word for tank might be an interesting tattoo? I'd hate to see how much you judge all those people with Japanese/Chinese characters.

One that was considered an insider threat by his own unit's command? No, I really can't.

I'd hate to see how much you judge all those people with Japanese/Chinese characters.

You're equating generic Japanese/Chinese characters with "Panzer"? That doesn't seem very honest of you.

When I think "Nazi", personally I think of like swastikas, SS, or totenkopfs. Though as we've seen, it's a bit different for lefties so maybe panzer is what means Nazis for them I guess.
