"But in one city, Raleigh, NC, the messaging on the local organizing channel is become increasingly emboldened. "This is a rally we need to be hyped up and let them people know who we are, why we are there and make the enemy fear us and know we are not going anywhere," wrote a Telegram user named "Ride_The_Bolts," who has claimed responsibility for the WLM Raleigh NC channel, on Tuesday. "Ride_The_Bolts" admonished that "not helping with security" is among the behaviors that "will not be tolerated," while concluding, "I want this to be peaceful, but come prepared to fight if we have to. We have all had enough of this shit that is this modern world. The 11th is the day that will mark the end of it. If and only if we stand with each other we will get this done for our people our culture and our homelands." "Ride_The_Bolts" recommended that participants bring mace, pepper spray, batons and riot shields for self-defense, but not guns (North Carolina law prohibits carrying dangerous weapons at a demonstration) or baseball bats. Suggested flags and banners include the Confederate battle flag and "any fascist flags" with the exception of the swastika (too alienating to potential recruits), but the black sun, or sonnenrad, is fine. Skull masks to preserve anonymity are preferred, but gaiters and bandannas are also acceptable. "Dark or all black clothing" is recommended, "Ride_The_Bolts" said, "because I am being a fashy nerd.""

This is not an endorsement. This is more of a public service announcement. These fuckers are coming to town and they are bringing weapons.

If you're interested in making them feel unwelcome I invite you to counter protest.

"if you need a gun to go somewhere you shouldn't go"

Yeah, it looks like most cities got disrupted but maybe Raleigh didn't or maybe NC white supremacists are just dumb enough to fall for an obvious honey pot.

Either way, they're talking like it is on.

People are so ignorant that they think being against fascism is a threat to American democracy.

4/9/2021 6:32:22 PM

Have you found anyone that believes that? Can't say I've ever seen that sentiment ^

4/9/2021 6:52:35 PM

LOL. Check all the conservative social media posts railing against Antifa.

4/9/2021 6:57:55 PM

I think the argument isn't "being against fascism is a threat to American democracy". It's more something like, "antifa is fascist and is going to firebomb your city and force you to say black lives matter". The comparisons to Struggle Sessions and what happened under Stalin are rampant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_session

Quote :

"The process of struggle sessions served multiple purposes. First, it demonstrated to the masses that the party was determined to subdue any opposition (generally labeled “class enemies”), by violence if necessary. Second, potential rivals were crushed. Third, those who attacked the targeted foes became complicit in the violence and hence invested in the state. All three served to consolidate the party's control, which was deemed necessary because party members constituted a small minority of China's population."

See basically all riot porn on conservative twitter. Most of what I've seen has accused Antifa of being fascists themselves and being the SA wing of the Democratic party or Bolsheviks in the Soviet revolution.

Along this analogy the liberals of 2010 would be the Mensheviks--instead of fighting it they write blog posts and go on podcasts to discuss the loss of freedom of speech and decry that people just need to read about the enlightenment. I know I've been guilty of assuming people just need to read "On Liberty". Works really well in 2021.

Maybe conservatives could quit being so evil and Antifa would calm down.

4/9/2021 8:09:54 PM

he's got a point you know

people don't do antifa shit because they're agitators they're mostly just people who don't want fucking Nazis in their town

we're talking about actual neo Nazis
versus, like, bartenders and office workers who are fucking fed up with Nazis

4/9/2021 10:59:09 PM

Very fine people on both sides

"Among the channels set up on Telegram for local events in dozens of cities across the United States, many had attracted fewer than 10 subscribers and showed little activity to suggest actual people will show up on Sunday."

10 people. With the three quoted in one of the Newsweek articles about it seems like a huge problem. Should probably give the government and tech companies even more power. Maybe next if people have listened to country music on Spotify and own an F150 we can seize their assets. Maybe we can use their trailers to house the homeless?

Just think if 15 people end up organizing.

Not a bad screening criteria.

As long as CaelNCSU is on the list.

4/11/2021 1:02:35 PM

by lumping the government and big tech companies together you run the risk of sounding unreasonable

and your hyperbolic example isn't helping much, either

4/11/2021 1:10:27 PM

come on guys, there aren't that many nazis expected to show up

4/11/2021 1:18:44 PM

What's a few Neo-Nazis among friends?

4/11/2021 2:07:18 PM

Come on guys, there aren't that many Islamic terrorists.

Come on guys, the WMDs aren't that massive.

Whatever spends extra billions on surveillance of the population is a ok by me. I have nothing to hide.

Maybe this time they'll allow the NSA to get Alexa data to make sure you don't form a union. Oh sorry, I meant make sure you don't say anything racist.

at least they aren't LARPing at the capitol, those misunderstood harmless people

4/11/2021 2:31:35 PM

Yeah zip tie guy was seconds away from making a trade deal with China and Merkel. He was going to get BMW to build another factory in the south.

The way you guys talk about Republicans is weird. On the one hand they are idiot losers. On the other they are capable of the organization required to form a rebellion.

My point was other than some incel with a bowl cut shooting up (insert minority here)--which is bad and scary. There is no way that class of people could take over a Target and have it run effectively. Much less the government.

4/11/2021 2:38:43 PM

but some angsty teens and 20-somethings were on the precipice of seceding Portland from the US because they broke some windows

4/11/2021 2:40:28 PM

Considering the town I lived in was looted to the max at the same time as dozens of other large cities. It feels the left at least has some good organizational skills that spanned multi state.

Now if we can just pretend the hicks are a real threat to modernity maybe we can suck more from the middle class.

Burning down buildings and shootings. At least they have insurance, am I right?

"The man who was killed in Portland on Saturday night was wearing a hat with the insignia of Patriot Prayer, a far-right group based in Portland that has clashed with protesters in the past, said New York Times reporter Mike Baker."

i'm sure he was an upstanding citizen

4/11/2021 2:57:12 PM

Probably an incel with a bowl cut. I definitely want to live in a world where you get shot by the opposing sides schizo nuts. I'm sure they get it right everytime.

You're in luck. I think you live in America. So, enjoy!

4/11/2021 4:07:17 PM

Also, we're not worried about them TAKING OVER the Target. We're worried about them fucking it up so it isn't open. And you straight up admitted they are capable of THAT.

So, what am I worried about? THAT.

If they go and fuck this country up by disrupting democracy then I can't continue to enjoy it.

4/11/2021 4:09:48 PM

I'm 24 hours post anti-covid shot. arg.
