I want to pimp slap the FUCK out of every dipshit barking "FED!" like the fucking trained seal they are over the recent PF march around Nashville.
In a legal environment that can see federal police arrest you and send you to prison for praying outside an abortion clinic, why is it any surprise that right wing marchers have taken measures to protect their identity by wearing masks, and wearing similar business casual attire?
If you still think that "real MAGA doesn't wear masks," you are both terminally stupid, and totally fucking oblivious to the legal environment at large. I want nothing to do with you, or anyone else who thinks like you, because you are a liability to any real right wing protest movements.
Dumbasses like you are not smart enough to do anything but sit on your fucking couch and drink beer while watching sportsball. Your lack of OPSEC would get any group you came anywhere near rolled up in their entirety. That you are a dissident in your own fucking country hasn't even occurred to you, much less made you get off your fat ass and do something about it.
I don't give a shit if they are infiltrated by Feds, or have Fed informants, PF still goes and does marches. They do something, and learn operational experience, something the right does not have, and is FIFTY YEARS BEHIND THE LEFT ON.

I swear, if any of you come at me with black pill despair, you get blocked. Come at me like one of the above trained seals I just ranted about, get blocked.
I don't think people scream Fed over masks, the famous image of a bunch of buzzcut dudes in shorts that everyone called Feds showed otherwise.
Its usually the fact that many of these groups seem to exist outside the actual ecosystem of the Right. They show up, often with weirdly coordinated signs, symbols, and other performative acts that are clearly meant to be seen by the media more than accomplish some actual goal. Things like perfectly creased brand new flags, lack of actual slurs in their "hate speech," and often perfect OPSEC to the point where no one knows a single person in them despite being in anonymous forums where they'd more than likely have a few.
Maybe they are legit, and power to them if they are. I have no interest in getting in any of their ways on the chance they are. But there is a lot more to why people don't trust most of these groups than just "masks."
Though threatening to block people makes you sound like a fag, man. Come on now.
I agree. If they're legit they're doing something right by never getting their identities outed, but they do seem artificial in a way. You would think at least a few would pop up from time to time on various forums, not as advertising but more "hello, we exist and are on your side", yet I've never seen anyone figure out anything about them. You would think the perfect situation for a bunch of anonymous young men in a group like it would be to provide barriers for speakers at functions to prevent violent mobs from attacking the figure of importance, like a bodyguard. Instead they show up, march around in front of TV cameras for 5 minutes and then disappear into the middle of the night without a trace.
They're identities aren't being outed because they are being actively protected by law enforcement. The left will stalk children, and leak supreme court decisions, but they can't associated names and faces?
They do sometimes get arrested in big public displays that make LE look good (when they are not being ushered into Uhaul trucks by said LE), and weirdly we don't get any information from their arrests. No pictures, no names, nothing.
The only time we get information on their identities is when the fucking Proud Boys physically accost them, rip of their masks, and identify them as members of the local police explorer program from the local college.
Of course the fed op group would try to honeypot on the fucking fed op board.
