Frankly, this is a huge escalation

Oh wtf

Right. Sorry I was so harsh at first. I just don’t see him as a “dove” like his fans seem to think he is. Hell, I’ll be honest, his belligerence against Canada, Mexico, Greenland (Denmark), and Panama is taking things even further (and more then likely, the Dems will emulate him).

Edit: Of course, Dems will one-up that in their own way, given their next turn, whenever that happens…

“Join Your Local Militia or III% Patriot Group,” a post urged the more than 650 members of a Facebook group called the Free American Army. Accompanied by the logo for the Three Percenters militia network and an image of a man in tactical gear holding a long rifle, the post continues: “Now more than ever. Support the American militia page.”

Other content and messaging in the group is similar. And despite the fact that Facebook bans paramilitary organizing and deemed the Three Percenters an “armed militia group" on its 2021 Dangerous Individuals and Organizations List, the post and group remained up until WIRED contacted Meta for comment about its existence.

Free American Army is just one of around 200 similar Facebook groups and profiles, most of which are still live, that anti-government and far-right extremists are using to coordinate local militia activity around the country.

After lying low for several years in the aftermath of the US Capitol riot on January 6, militia extremists have been quietly reorganizing, ramping up recruitment and rhetoric on Facebook—with apparently little concern that Meta will enforce its ban against them, according to new research by the Tech Transparency Project, shared exclusively with WIRED.

Individuals across the US with long-standing ties to militia groups are creating networks of Facebook pages, urging others to recruit “active patriots” and attend meetups, and openly associating themselves with known militia-related sub-ideologies like that of the anti-government Three Percenter movement. They’re also advertising combat training and telling their followers to be “prepared” for whatever lies ahead. These groups are trying to facilitate local organizing, state by state and county by county. Their goals are vague, but many of their posts convey a general sense of urgency about the need to prepare for “war” or to “stand up” against many supposed enemies, including drag queens, immigrants, pro-Palestine college students, communists—and the US government.

^ Last paragraph here is definitely relevant.

Hrm

Frankly, I mightg delete my account, I’m sorry…

There’s no proof that Trump necessarily “saved” them and, either way, it would’ve happened regardless of the administration (the ongoing ceasefire deal, at the very least). I really do not get why Trump is somehow singled out here. His imperialist foreign policy is about the same as a Democrat’s. He’s not even “pro-Russia” or “anti-Ukraine war” like some of his fanbase seems to think; he’s already threatening more harsh sanctions and economic warfare against the Russian Federation.

Alright, well, to be fair, I think we’re sort-of arguing the same thing, give or take a few differences here and there, so I’ll just drop it.

It was by the doing of Lebanon and themselves.

And Hamas is not a joke.

Stop giving bourgeois politicians credit.

Are you Catadora?

If so, I sent you a DM on Discord. Cheers!

Okay, none of this contradicts what I’ve said.

Hamas doesn’t need to be courted because it can’t.

In addition, they managed to force Israel to a ceasefire.

Clearly, they have nothing really to lose at this point.

yeah

Isn’t that person a sex pest?

Switch 2 revealed

the most boring reveal ever too

Nintendo, Nintendo…

sigh

…I’m probably still going to get one though

I don’t think so. CPUSA has criticized Biden plenty enough and has always acknowledged the existence of fascism in the USA before Trump.

CPUSA does not endorse Dems and even had a schism over the very intent to endorse Democrats (see: what happened to Sam Webb).

I doubt it. Israel will come out stronger, or they believe it will, if Israel wins, and gains more control of more territory. And they will, if they have free reign over the resources of Gaza and the new Syrian territory added to their country, which has a bevy of oil and minerals. Hamas is opposed to U.S. imperialist aims and is not like the ETIM or YPG or other U.S. Muslim proxies, which were essentially created by the USA, or have had extensive development by the USA.

Hamas can not be persuaded, therefore they have to destroy Hamas or significantly weaken it or strengthen Israel. A stronger Israel and a taking out of Syria, which has been achieved, means that they don’t have to worry too much about the Middle-East going forward when they attack China, or if they do, in the near future.

There will be a price to this, I think

that’s kinda what I’m testing

dayum, i liked them

I mean news items. Links.

Same here.

that’s fair
