The sheer quantity of idiots on _TD is frustrating as hell. Trained seals barking "Fed!" who have paid no attention at all to what has happened to people demonstrating for right wing causes over the last decade.
I would have hoped that watching thousands of Jan 6 protesters get rounded up and prosecuted due to not covering their faces, having social media accounts, and not being organized would have caused some introspection, but I guess not.
It that is what it takes, then yes. Because there won't be a real group of the far right until they can be assured that their own side won't try to demask them or detain them for being too extreme.
BUT THEY'RE NOT ON OUR SIDE.
They're a goddamn false flag operation.
That's what you don't get, this isn't really about PF. This is about making sure that the next group, or the group after that, or the group after that, or however many it takes to get a legit group can operate without fear of being backstabbed by the people they are trying to save. And until you can sit down and shut up about milquetoast PF protests, other more extreme people have no room to act.
Would you go into the middle of a Trump rally wearing a mask and shout at the top of your lungs: "IMMIGRATION IS GENOCIDE! REMOVE ALL NON-WHITES!"? Of course not, you would be tackled by a horde of boomers who would probably start chanting about how they love immigrants. They would take your mask off, they would spread your photo far and wide, and they would give Antifa every bit of information Antifa needs to make your life a living hell.
No, that's YOUR interpretation, and that's why we're talking past each other, because you aren't conceding that our position is that our response to PF is 100% about PF being an obvious fucking false flag operation.
Of course I'm not conceding that, because every single rightwing organization since the Battle of Athens, TN has been accused of being feds. It doesn't matter what or who, Timothy McVeigh, Brenton Tarrant, Anjeders Brejvick (or however you spell his name), TEA party, PB, PF, AmRen, ffs even Shiloh Hendriks was accused of being a fed op, and of course some of them probably were. It doesn't matter what the organization is, because a priori all right wing action is feds. I reject that.
Nobody here said boomers aren't retarded.
We're saying that embracing the most blatant false flag of our generation isn't required to ensure future effective action from the right.
Take it from me.
The real far right doesn't advertise.
