The group of dozens of men wore white face coverings, kakis, blue shirts and tan hats and waved flags with insignias appearing to belong to the Patriot Front organization.

seized their cache of rifles, which at the time, would have rendered them extremely powerful. Sacajawea (sp?) talked them out of it, but history could have been much different had they decided to do them in. I hope these assholes meet a real fate.

Mass firings took place after the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" march in 2017. Bosses wanted nothing to do with these nutcases.

Convenient for the next step, when they make them into pointed hats with eye holes.

They actually did use a variation of boy scouts to build that sense of social connection and community for "right thinking," pretty much the way the internet is used now to encourage a variation of "Brownshirts." No mosquitos, no sweating, lotsa beer. ("Before The Deluge" by Otto Friedrich-the social political environment post WWI pre WWII, the fall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Hitler concerning the "hiking and camping." One of the best books I have ever read.)

What do you want to bet they don't pay taxes either? After all, America BELONGS to them!

Is the DSM ever going going to have condition they describe as DSS - Delusional Supremacist Syndrome? It seems like it would cover a lot of groups; these guys, the Proud Boys, the KKK, the Sovereign Citizens ...
