Never fear, Idaho has had a thriving white nationalist population spanning several decades. I started throwing punches at those fucks at punk shows in WA and OR since the mid 90s.

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

ayyy my man, good on ya for properly communicating. so weird the types of shows and scenes they may end up at not considering who and what they represent smfh

What's scary is that the local authorities tried saying anything and everything to say it wasn't a white nationalist that did the shooting. The shooting happened on the 20 year anniversary of the local authorities kicking the neo nazi group (being evicted) from their compound and the fire department using the buildings on the compound for fire fighting training. (they burned the buildings down.)

Right wing white male terrorism is the number one form of terrorism in America don't let anyone say it's not. The statistics are clear.

The authorities are part of their group

Time to stop treating these very obviously right wing affiliated school shooters as long wolfs. They're not lone. They're part of a cell style right wing terrorist organization.

What a looong wolf

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Correct. With what modern insurgency looks like, the only reason we don't call it a civil war is no one has struck them back. While I don't believe civil war is a forgone conclusion, if the US does spiral into one I can guarentee Historians that study it will look back to a date well before 2025 as when it started.

Stochastic terrorism is different from an organized civil war. These are not the actions of a united front but lone individuals who are encouraged to be violent with the people they are told to hate.

[–] cecilkorik@piefed.ca 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

are encouraged to be violent with the people they are told to hate.

Encouraged by who? Told by who? The fact that the people doing the fighting don't understand they're part of an organization that is coordinating them to fight a civil war doesn't change the fact that it's an organized civil war.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

What organization? It's literally hundreds of little echo chambers that spew variations of the same bullshit but distinct for their region, like sects of a religion. If one big organization is doing this it should be easy to point to them. Which one?

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's like criminal convincing homeless people to do their dirty work. Except it's probably most orchestrated through social media.

I mean, it really started with the founding of the country, leaving wealthy people in control of everything by having capitalism be the system of economics, but a more recent date can be 1973, when the Heritage Foundation was founded.

They're part of a cell style right wing ~~terrorist organization.~~ trump regime.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

They’re the same picture

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He’s right wing? Story gonna be dropped from the media in 3…2…

I read the AP story a few minutes ago. Nothing about it. Nothing about anything like that. Nothing. Zip.

According to them he was just a homeless troubled drifter that refused to move his car. Or something.

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Idaho has been a haven for right-wing antigovernment extremists for decades. This is hardly surprising. They've been waiting for their moment, and Trump has provided it for them.

[–] marine_mustang@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago

Except they aren’t targeting the one group they always said they would; masked thugs snatching people off the street.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Standley said he remembers Roley left high school in the middle of sophomore year. He said he believes Roley was expelled "after some trouble with a girl."

I found this part interesting. Also the part where they said they were scared of him... although that might just be tinted by the fact that they're trying to remember this guy they didn't know very well.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I went to school with a kid for a year and a half. He nearly bit off another kid's cheek. I remember him as being troubled and I remember being scared of him before he mauled a classmate.

Depending on how egregious or shocking his reactions were to things, he could be quite memorable.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 14 points 2 days ago

With 2 maga parents!? I'm shocked... 🙄

Some history for those of you who may have missed it due to not being born yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Ridge_standoff

Of course, right winged people are the only ones capable of doing this shit. Time and time again. But there’s one thing America can stand proud of, and it’s their ability to never learn!
