He described the tattoo in vanity fair magazine today.
Holy shit he also has a 1919 tattoo? This has to be fed shit. There’s no way some dude with at least two Nazi tattoos and a history like his isn’t some sort of plant
Edit: apparently this one is okay, see comments below from OP
next week we’ll get to see his 1919 covered up with another weird runic thing, and also a swastika tattoo peeking into the edge of the frame
in a month’s time we’ll get a photo of his back and it’ll just be an enormous sonnenrad
He’ll get it covered with a celtic camel foot, but only part of it. A “camel toe”, if you will.
Graham now told WGME that the 1919 is part of a tattoo for “Trail Forest Crew” which was established in 1919. It’s a group of people who created hiking trails in the Appalachian mountains

It’s not Trail Forest Crew. It’s Trail Fixing Collective, he’s just forgotten the proper name of its origin.

Est 1919 according to this image, which is buried somewhere in their website
This one is fine. Unless it’s also part of an op. I’m still a little suspicious of the claim it was established in 1919. A google search restricting results to “before 2020” turns up absolutely nothing for “trail fixing collective” so I’m dubious that ever existed before 2021 and that in turn makes the 1919 really suspicious tbh.
All of this shit smells like op to me. Feels really similar to the fuckery that Bored Ape Yacht Club was pulling and practically every argument online is really similar to the same arguments about how that nft group couldn’t possibly be nazis.
I’m not even sure that you have the right group. The WGME tweet says that TFC group is a subgroup of AMC Appalachian Mountain Club. It may not even have a website.
The 2 articles I linked were from 2016.
The URL for AMC is https://outdoors.org/ . It has captures on The Internet Archive going back to 1997.
For one though, you should not trust google search results as being a limit of known information. Google search is very bad and getting worse. Websites from before 2020 just don’t exist anymore. Old webpages get deleted or paywalled and then removed from google search results.
Also, much of recorded history from before the internet, simply isn’t on the internet.
http://web.archive.org/web/20010402013024/http://www.outdoors.org/
e/ on the about page of the website that you linked. it says that “trail fixing collective” was established in 2021 after being inspired by the old TFC group and asks old members to contact them.
So you’re right in the sense that “trail fixing collective” didn’t exist before 2021. However, it was created based on a different group called “TFC” which was established in 1919.

Huh. Weird. It’s exactly the same crossed axes though? Like, verbatim it is the same. And for both to have 1919? Seems like far too much coincidence.
I don’t know man these situations are sus and I lean towards not taking risks with potential nazis tbh. I don’t care whether I’m right or wrong it is worth rejecting people like this on the basis of suspicion alone. If you reject them you’ll never get nazis, if you take risks sometimes you’ll be wrong and they’ll be nazis.
He’s listed on this website as a 2002 and 2003 member.
The 2022 pdf does contain a link to the www.trailfixingcollective.com url, but I think it is a reformation group formed in 2021.

For clarity purposes, I am not endorsing or supporting Graham Platner. I only make posts about information that I think is interesting or topical. These are my own personal notes.
That settles that then, assuming that the org is legit and everything. Just an unfortunately coincidence that a dude with an already existing nazi tattoo also happens to have been a member of an org with a nazi number establishment year.
Honestly the dude is a mess and shouldn’t be trusted anyway.
I know nothing about this guy, but I’m 100% convinced he’s fash trying to blend in amongst the socdems. This is most certainly a dogwhistle, and people on the left are giving him wayyyyyyyyy to much benefit of the doubt for a dude with a fucking totemkopf on his chest.
idk a volunteer outdoor group isnt the kind of thing id expect to have a very good documentation online, and it’s a hell of a lot of work to disguise it when you could just say your great grandpa was born in 1919 or some such BS
googling this returns two results, none of them are about a distinct organization
combined with the totenkopf, i’m going to say it’s SS
It’s not Trail Forest Crew. It’s Trail Fixing Collective, he’s just forgotten the proper name of its origin.

Wtf was this?
The monkey nfts? Nazi op.
Also notable that they were called “Yuga labs”. “Surf the Kali Yuga” is a popular phrase among crypto-nazis, and I mean crypto not in the currency sense.
All of this shit when NFTs were relevant was a similar discussion. Crypto nazis generate the same feeling every time where it all feels slightly weird and tinfoil hat and people start questioning their own sanity but then later on everyone wonders why it was ever even a fucking debate given how obvious it was.
I included a link to the group that I found at the bottom of my post. The article says that the group was only referred to by the name “TFC” and that it would jokingly call themselves “Trail Fucking Crew”, but that some referred to the group as “Trail Fixing Crew”.
Another link.

Never even heard of that one before
Definitely not a super common one, but unless there’s a really good explanation like it’s a RIP Grandpa 1919-1990 tattoo or some shit it’s probably a Nazi symbol
1919?
19th letter is S, so it’s short for SS. I think it’s also a significant year in Hitler’s rise to power?
What’s the deal with 1919?
(ns)dap founding (the dap part)
What other tattoos does this mother fucker have?
“The tattoo on my right calf symbolizes unity. I think.”
“That’s a Black Sun. It’s a Nazi symbol.”
“Oh. Oops! I’m gonna make the local tattoo guy rich! And you don’t wanna know what’s on my ass!”
