The Esoteric Hitlerism megathread is usually where anons post stuff about brownshirt LARPers but the level of getting owned this group is now on is getting hilarious. It's like a bad movie.
Antifas also smashed up their cars during their D.C. march and totaled a van they bought specifically for transport which cost them $20,000 in damages.
https://twitter.com/IGD_News/status/1484857721660719105>>550767Communists and anarchists can be fairly larpy sometimes but it's never beyond making a specific point. Even maoists for example who are seemingly the most larpy at least actually have communal gardens and shit and give away groceries to those who need it, essentially doing productive things for the community. But nazoids just have their larp and aesthetics with nothing to back up their shit, who backs these fucks? Local petty bourgeois nationalists? Who cares most of these people aim to be big time stock owners, basically the "enemy" they claim they hate.
Historically big corporations backed the Nazis, and so these people would only ever have real power through corporate backing.
I think those amongst the higher ranks of these Nazi orgs understand the reality that of Nike and Amazon backed Nazis they'd come to power and that'd be the only way for them to have power and this reality they attempt to obscure by saying "corporations bad". Nazis are so bankrupt in the modern day its hilarious.
Fascism I think has been "swallowed" into the neoliberal superstructure so that to be a fascist would mean to be a neoliberal/neoconservative. This is capitalist realism except for Nazis and the truth is communism still remains the only true proper politics to struggle against capitalism. Class struggle is the only true struggle period.

their only use is cringe entertainment value. actually I was reading about the 2019/2020 leaks last month when researching muh antifas (
https://torchantifa.org/inside-patriot-front/ ) and was about to make a thread where I searched them for fun but the so-called data dumps were only a few small image PDFs, can't even grep through them.
But seeing as this is machine readable data, I've downloaded the membership.patriotfront.us and pf3618.bloodandsoil.org Rocket Chat longs and am willing to search for your chosen words or phrases to see how many times they appear.
no, 'leftypol' doesn't appear. /pol/ (pol[^ioae] with manual inspect) has about 60 results, including this one:

Since you are not on mumble I will just tell ya here. I had a cousin mention Patriot Front to me, because he saw it on /pol/ and looked it up and found the news clip from Appleton WI about my stickers. LOL. He said he is a little too old for the group (he is) but said this is what the country needs now and asked me if I thought they were Feds (because he knows I janny on /pol/)." >>550801>Why aren't they fascists in ideological sense? Because that would require actually giving a shit about social values, the nation, traditions, etc. They don't care about these, and will slip seamlessly from "nation and volk" to "bodies and spaces" in the blink of an eye.

>>550882As I said before, I've seen stickers they've put up on a BLM march, following the march route.
One of them is probably in Simi Valley, California, given he set up stickers all around the parade route and it's pretty infamous as a Klan Town down there.
>>550884>Might as well do anal as well because according to you they may be hiding it in their ass.I think Patriot Front will need to ramp up their security protocols after this incident… full cavity searches for everyone

>>550892It used to be the headquarters of the SoCal chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. The officers who beat Rodney King were tried out there precisely because everyone knew they wouldn't be punished out there. To this day it's filled with off-duty cops and Right Wingers of all stripes.
They're definitely active in the area, as I said we saw Patriot Front stickers throughout the route, whether that was a local that put them up or a fascist in driving distance, I can't be entirely sure. I might travel up there some time, see if I can't find any stickers of theirs and tear it up. Will post pics.
>>550845Kek there's so many layers of wrong in the larper that I can't even believe it is possible someone could get this retarded, but then again I remind it is the U.S.

Anyway, just like always, all the fascists are controlled and trolled by the authorities. Also, antifas are very likely to be controlled and trolled as well. No-party movements do not have the means to cleanse themselves.
>>550931I mean, it's not the bulletproof vest he's making it out to be, but it's generally correct that organizations with a higher degree of centralization are more able to resist infiltration.
The flip side is that if the Feds DO infiltrate they can seize complete control and render the whole thing useless. But the Bolsheviks correctly believed that the benefits outweighed the risks and history has vindicated them.
>>550927They're making so many clownshoe decisions it's hard to know where to begin.
They want to appear like a "legitimate" and lawful organization but they wear masks and dress up like the Foot Clan from Ninja Turtles combined with the American Gladiators and they carry shields around – like obvious villains up to no good. So, the first lesson is that anonymity and legitimacy are incompatible. But they do this because they also engage in unlawful or "underground" activities (which hasn't risen above petty vandalism so far but still) like Tyler Durden's Fight Club. Yet they store data on their crimes in easily-accessible ways (including literal paper trails where they map out in detail exactly where and how they're going to do vandalism + photos and videos of them doing it with their faces uncovered) that can be easily dumped onto the internet.
In fact, because they're so paranoid, their decisions end up making them more vulnerable to disruption. It's a centralized control-freak org that exercises tight control over their members – because the leadership doesn't trust their own members to act in a disciplined manner – and then (like I said) stores lots of vulnerable data on those members; and they're terrible at internal security. So, lesson number two is that discipline ultimately has to be a collective self-discipline, not imposed from the top. Top-down imposed discipline only works when everything goes according to plan. When it doesn't, they scatter. They don't handle dynamic situations well; it makes them think too hard.
Another example of paranoia making them more vulnerable is their use of rented box trucks to move to jumping-off points for marches. They don't want opposition to identify their personal vehicles. But, once infiltrated, that doesn't matter and antifas smashed their vehicles up which were left defenseless, costing them thousands of dollars. So, to avoid that happening again, they have to keep their vehicles mobile during their marches, which pulls manpower away from their marches, making them look smaller when they want to look bigger. So, the mathematics and cost-curve doesn't work out for them. The antifas can beat them without fighting them, they simply can go after their data and logistics.
They also don't openly claim to be Nazis in public (again, because they want legitimacy, yet they fail at that, because they wear masks), and then can't help themselves into Sieg Heiling the moment their IRA-LARP video ends, and of course the unedited version gets dumped onto the internet which blows their optics. So they're not only liars, they're bad liars, which is even worse.
Thing is, I think part of their dysfunction comes from seeing antifa – their nemesis – wear masks, and they think "well let's also wear masks." But antifa wears masks because they're focused on the singular goal of disrupting organizations like this and do not seek "legitimacy," and antifa is not centralized but decentralized. So what antifa does is compartmentalized away from above-ground activism. Patriot Front tries to do "both" of those things under a single brand and fails at both.
All in all, Patriot Front built an organization that, with persistent effort, finally got the public attention they were seeking – and the attention they got was the wrong kind of attention. While panicky liberals might be afraid of the spooky Nazi march, hard lefties are not afraid of them at all. Hard lefties think they're an absurd joke deserving to get dunked on and bullied and their vehicles flipped over and smashed for fun. For a threadbare ideology that doesn't have much going for it other than aesthetics and intimidating the left, that doesn't work out. Secondly, much of the right thinks they're glowies propped up to make the rest of them look bad and justify police measures against the right in general.
How that happened, I'd theorize, is due to a post-Charlottesville adaptation going haywire in a post-Trump era. This group is basically a rebrand from Vanguard America, which was a more straightforward blackshirt LARP which the leaders figured was no longer viable after that disaster. They went "mask off" too soon, and now wanted plausible deniability, hence the American Gladiators getup to make them look like "patriots on the outside" while being "Nazis on the inside." It's basically a "false-flag" operation. This is an attempt to manipulate perception. If they're aggressed on, they could say "communists" are going after innocent "patriots," and then they try to radicalize potential supporters into accepting "fascism" as the answer. But now with Trump out of the picture (at least for now) and the mainstream right paranoid of agent provocateurs after the Capitol riot, their double-game looks incredibly sus to their own potential base of recruits.

gulag chef material tbh
>>550941Have you seen any other specific examples of hate crimes and so forth in the data dump? I saw one example of a member gloating about attacking a Hispanic person but that didn't seem like an action carried out under the rubric of the organization like the vandalism. The bulk of their activity as a group seems to be pasting posters and stickers, but they will often use a residue that makes them hard to remove which defaces the surface – and there are cases of members being cited by police for vandalizing public property. In the case of private property such as homes or businesses, that's up to the people who had their property defaced if they want to press charges. They also seem to enjoy stealing BLM and Pride flags from homes and businesses.
(BTW, a bottle of water and a rag is enough to destroy their glue-pasted posters most of the time, just wet the rag and scrub and it will dissolve the paper, leaving nothing but the residue behind, so it'll look like a blank white poster with all the ink melted off)
Where they'd get mega-fucked by the law is if they vandalized churches or synagogues, and one member was slapped with a hate crime charge for that. Thing is, that guy used stickers for a different organization (the World Church of the Creator) to vandalize the synagogue but he was also pasting Patriot Front stuff around the same area – so it seems the organization itself tries to steer clear of religious buildings. But like I said, they can't trust their own dipshit members.
It makes you wonder whether they're vulnerable to some kind of conspiracy law since they are in effect carrying out a nationwide vandalism spree with the top guys in the group signing off on it. The flip side is that the cops probably don't care anyways and vandalism isn't a federal crime.
>>550947Yeah I've noticed that too. I think they also like to pretend it's more "intellectual" and it might be a reaction to increasing interest on the left in Marxism which carries a kind of power. But like you said, whatever pretensions the Italian fascists had was always a waxwork. I've even seen some try to claim that fascism logically follows from Marxism which makes no sense but sounds like the kind of thing a "natsec" nerd and glowie like A. James Gregor would say while tenured at UC Berkeley back in the 60s while receiving military-industrial contracts. Also see the "post-left" in this regard, the Infracels, "patsocs" and so forth. Also probably some pro-China stuff here as well but they cannot possibly claim the Chinese have anything to do with Nazism, yet they have a strong state that Gets Stuff Done which therefore means it's fascist to these guys if you squint at it enough.
>>550964btw it's worth noting DC is a majority Black city, aside from housing the heart of the beast. there're some points in these videos where he zooms the camera onto random dark-skinned pedestrians
From the Heart Church Ministries is also a Black protestant church
>>550964That document was the plan for their D.C. march in December. You can see them standing here waiting for pickup and the pic from the document.
But the plan called for three trucks to pick them up, while only one was available, because smashies got to two of those trucks along with their personal vehicles while they were off speedrunning through the National Mall. It looks like the smashies didn't get all three trucks because the group kept one truck idling in a different parking lot to avoid drawing too much attention. I'm not sure why they thought that would work but it did save one truck from getting knocked out.
Another funny thing about the data dump is that they call the cops on themselves before marches because they want a police escort, but they do it with burner phones and pose as concerned citizens.

It's pretty fucking fitting.
>>551017There was a trend on the old Bunkerchan that was like this.
>>551016I think they've gotten better and the past few years brought a lot of new people into it. The other thing is that street fights make for a spectacle, but "experts study logistics" as the old saying goes, and the antifas are much, much less likely to gloat about their victories or even post them as propaganda. The antifas prefer to keep the cameras off themselves while fascists prefer to keep the cameras on themselves – there are tradeoffs to both approaches. But I get the sense, at least relative to their opposition, that the antifas are more focused on the task at hand: disrupting the Nazis. If you want to do political activism, there are other organizations for that. And when they hit Patriot Front's parked vehicles (causing ~$20,000 in damages), that was not public until they dumped Patriot Front's data which included video of the Nazis jumping out of their box truck to discover what had happened.
Here are the antifas finally making it public on an anarchist website the other day, including that video I just mentioned:
https://itsgoingdown.org/antifascist-action-against-pf-dc-communique/Nobody said shit. Then the dump also happened the day Patriot Front did another march, so the antifas timed it for a strategic effect. The antifas are one step ahead of them and have the initiative.
Another thing the antifas have going for them is depth. Unicorn Riot, the website which hosted the dump, has the code-monkey infrastructure to do that (I don't know anything about tech).
Dunno what else. I think the last thing is probably knowing your enemy, and knowing your enemy's contradictions, both within their groups but also between different groups of enemies and then specializing to deal with each one differently. It's better to take the right apart in a piecemeal fashion – smaller targets to more difficult targets – than trying to square off with a single, big, mean, united right.
>>551029I started using /pol/ when it was created at age 11 and didnt stop using it until i was 17
Probably happens a lot huh? Kids just growing up on 4chan?
>>551021Antifa stay living rent free in the heads of right wing militia wannabes. What makes antifa effective is their disorganized nature. Working centralized organization will always be very peaceful and disciplined, the same discipline you get from a good union strike. The right will forever be stooges of Capital because they are the strike breakers. You could never be a right winger standing in a union strike yelling for a higher wage because that goes against your very nature as a capitalist stooge.
The largest irony is that the far right is more closer to serving the "Jew" that they fear than the working class factory man fighting to negotiate for a higher wage.
The radical Syndicalist man who according to fascists "threaten to lead the nation into anarchy" will always be the one who truly disrupts capital: "the Jew". But the far right could never admit they want to protect the Jew's private property. To the mods I'm only using Jew in the way fascists claim Jews are. Because if we take what fascists say as fact then that means that Jews are the protectors of private property, which maintains capitalism. This makes fascists Jews lmao. Fascist logic everybody: I want to defeat Jews to become a Jew myself!
Anyways that's enough of my rant. Far right are hypocrite retards, communism is the only way.
>>551022>I myself think that Antifa’s praxis is limited in scope and efficacy at bestIt is limited in scope. But that is not such a bad thing, because if it was unlimited in scope, then that might be inefficient. Really, "it is what it is" and it isn't a substitute for other forms of organizing. The other thing is that there isn't one way to be an antifascist, like the girl heckling those guys at their demo is doing antifascist activity and it doesn't require her to wear a mask or smash anybody. So, I think anti-fascism should be something a lot of people can participate in, in a lot of different ways (including in the above-board political arena), and not outsource everything to the smashies, but also leaving some things to the smashies as well (namely the smashing). I also think antifascism without an anti-imperialist component as well is a failure.

>>551052Half of the /pol/tards out there are the same fucking personality type.
You talk to them, and they're "polite" in the sense that they're too afraid to have an actual personality–maybe in fear of their persona not meeting others standards, I dunno.
They have vague interests in "history" but that almost always boils down to pop-culture ancient history. Really it's more fantasy than anything.
They're known for being "smart" but it's mostly just above-average intelligence. It's not like they read or anything.
I'll say this, at least the skinheads have actual personality in spite of being pieces of shit. These /pol/ types, they're mostly just pudgy pale faces and masturbation addicts. They look soft from a life of privilege, but they erroneously grasp for some "masculinity" within the framework of Capitalism because they realize they're soft and they hate themselves for it.
We need up to 3 threads at best if we gonna talk about this.

>>550930That means they didn't have "demcent", lol. You can't silence the opposition with demcent, because democratic centralism implies freedom of debates, but unity of action, i.e. it's quite the opposite of silencing opposition, rather, it's about making the opposition to follow democratic decision that was made during the debates, not letting anyone to hide from doing what the people decided democratically. That is the point of democratic centralism. Due to democracy, feds can't force their decisions, and due to centralism, feds can't make people sabotage the democratic decision.
>>551043We really need a "no whining" rule. Anyway the unicorn was actually believed to really exist by ancient Greeks so I'd think trad guys would be into it.

Nice guy actually but one thing I noticed is that he had some extreme personality issue and gave off "Patrick Bateman" vibes, like someone who was trying way to hard to "fit in" to the degree that it was almost manic. Also spoke in memes a lot of the time, made "edgy" chan jokes, and would literally dab after making them. It was bizarre but I wish no ill will on him, and if you had go down either the Nazi road or the Orthodox Christian road, take the Orthodox Christian one imo. Probably a lot healthier.

<The genuine basis (for fascism) is the petty bourgeoisie. In italy, it has a very large base – the petty bourgeoisie of the towns and cities, and the peasantry. In Germany, likewise, there is a large base for fascism …
>In the epoch of the rise, the growth, and the bloom of capitalism, the petty bourgeoisie, despite acute outbreaks of discontent, generally marched obediently in the capitalist harness. Nor could it do anything else. But under the conditions of capitalist disintegration, and of the impasse in the economic situation, the petty bourgeoisie strives, seeks, attempts to tear itself loose from the fetters of the old masters and rulers of society. It is quite capable of linking up its fates with that of the proletariat. For that, only one thing is needed: the petty bourgeoisie must acquired faith in the ability of the proletariat to lead society onto a new road. The proletariat can inspire this faith only by its strength, by the firmness of its actions, by a skillful offensive against the enemy, by the success of its revolutionary policy.
<But, woe, if the revolutionary party does not measure up to the height of the situation! The daily struggle of the proletariat sharpens the instability of bourgeois society. The strikes and the political disturbances aggravated the economic situation of the country. The petty bourgeoisie could reconcile itself temporarily to the growing privations, if it arrived by experience at the conviction that the proletariat is in a position to lead it onto a new road. But if the revolutionary party, in spite of a class struggle becoming incessantly more accentuated, proves time and again to be incapable of uniting the working class about it, if it vacillates, becomes confused, contradicts itself, then the petty bourgeoisie loses patience and begins to look upon the revolutionary workers as those responsible for its own misery. All the bourgeois parties, including the social democracy, turn its thoughts in this very direction. When the social crisis takes on an intolerable acuteness, a particular party appears on the scene with the direct aim of agitating the petty bourgeoisie to a white heat and of directing its hatred and its despair against the proletariat. In Germany, this historical function is fulfilled by national Socialism (Nazism), a broad current whose ideology is composed of all the putrid vapors of disintegrating bourgeois society. >>551082This is why "is Trump a fascist or not" is asking the wrong question, rather he was produced by a similar process and petit-bourgeois unrest spawned these alt-right groups from the boomers' failchildren. Patriot Front's leader's dad apparently owns a small software company that makes databases for yacht races, and until recently, was living at a house his dad owns in Grapevine, Texas (until he got kicked out), which is like the most petit-booj part of the area.
It's not where the proles live but it's not straight booj like Highland Park or Southlake. The neo-Nazi mass shooter who traveled to El Paso to kill Hispanic people at a Walmart was also from Allen which is another suburb in the area similar to Grapevine.
>>551069>Nice guy actually but one thing I noticed is that he had some extreme personality issue and gave off "Patrick Bateman" vibes, like someone who was trying way to hard to "fit in" to the degree that it was almost manic.I believe part of it is a maladaptive coping mechanism for autists and other socially inept types.
<Source: Am an AutistAmerica is a hellscape, especially suburban America. And contrary to a lot of the myths of "helicopter parenting" I'd say the suburban boomers were mostly absent in their kids' lives or passed on their pathologies to them. About the only place American children get an opportunity so socialize is in a school setting, and even there it's mitigated through cliques and only a scant amount of free time. If you were the kind of kid who was really introverted, or socially inept, it's easy enough to fall through the cracks and become socially stunted.
When I was a kid, for example, I was told often enough after school that I should "go outside and meet people." And y'know, I'd honestly try… but just about any place for people my age to gather wasn't in walking distance, the few that were usually charged you. Sure there was the local park, but almost instantly you're met with "Oh don't go there, there's homeless people living there!" And so a lot of the time you don't develop properly.
People with enough self awareness might try to mediate it through the only way they know: popular media and the internet. Like it or not, the internet is one of the few public "places" that just about anyone can access for free in this Godforsaken country.
And here's the thing, while the internet can be great for introverts, it can also create some bad habits. There's a million rabbit holes you can fall down to become some depraved Chris-Chan style attic ogre. And its easy to get a false idea of how people "work."
The first time some of these socially maladroit types try to take their internet persona out into the real world, they learn pretty quickly that there's different rules. And since they're not socializing that much, every bit of cringe sticks with them like a knife to their heart. They develop this deep internal world, which is mediated to them through pop media like video games and movies and anime, and they ascribe narratives to the wild chaos that's every day life. Grand narratives with villains and heroes and motives behind everything.
They form a dual character, that of the outward "quiet, average Joe" and an inward raving madman. I imagine it's almost like two completely different people, split to such an extent that they can right some hateful screed about how much they loathe Jews and Blacks and LGBT people, and then they go to their classes and they rub shoulders with all these people they supposedly hate and they're friendly. Just quiet.
And the thing is their "average joe" or "NPC" persona is a double-edged sword. Its developed as a mask for their internal world, but it makes them unremarkable and doesn't win them friends. They end up alienated further and further from people, and this is also why I think they make such a big deal about being "cancelled", they're surface deep to everyone, unremarkable. If the mask slips, well I imagine it'd be like that ending from "They Live" where everyone looks around and sees the Aliens surrounding them. They see that quiet guy who never bothered them was a mask, and beneath it was some inhuman psycho.
I mean, this is why to some extent at least the Skinheads could get trash-pussy sometimes. They had an actual personality. Virulent, ugly, and disgusting, but at least they seemed like a
person and not a robot.
>>551084Good post. This kind of "splitting" is also something Roger Griffin described about mass shooters. It's why they're able to remain so calm and unnoticed for months or even years before their attack. He calls it "heroic doubling." You described it already, but it's like the Tyler Durden effect where they have a split personality: the normal everyday personality that's holding together just enough to go about their daily lives (while procuring supplies and equipment) and then there's the other personality which exists in the grand narrative – and the result in the case of these mass shooter and terrorist types is that the "heroic" narrative-driven personality finally devours the shattered the "quiet, average Joe" side of themselves. It's an apocalyptic but also personal and self-apocalyptic end to their narrative.
I'd say at least in the case of the guy I met who displayed some of these traits, that perhaps in the past – before he got into Christianity – I would've been really concerned about him doing something like that. The stories he told me about himself seemed to indicate he was headed down a path like that, that is, I had picked up on some "tells" here, and because he dabbled in extreme stuff for awhile. He also told me he wanted a theocratic monarchy, like Iran but Orthodox Christian, which I think is a bad solution to the problems that continue to plague us as a species, but he was going to church regularly and had something of a community going and was genuinely absorbed in the canon of the religion. I actually ran into his church group having lunch in a restaurant on a Sunday afternoon and talked to them for a few minutes and it was perfectly fine – and one of the things about living where I do is that "punching a fascist" doesn't even really make sense anyways because you'll end up running into the same people all the time. "A communist and an Orthodox Christian walk into a bar… they talk about the SSNP." You have to kinda get along with people.
But like I said, him getting involved in the church seemed overall positive for him. I haven't heard of any Orthodox Christians going on mass shooting sprees. Maybe, in theory, you could have some Ortho-Trad ISIS stuff but it doesn't seem like it meshes together.

Wow this is incredible, this pretty much perfectly described my inner life growing up. For whatever reason some people become benevolent
communist autists like me but yeah, I've noticed a lot of these fascist types are all very deeply nerdy people. I sometimes have to wonder if our society also breeds people to expect something "more" out of life than what it is actually able to provide. From an early age you get fed these fantastical images from movies, games and TV that you have to wonder if this shapes people in such a way that they're more amicable to fascism than not. I mean, it's all a big show right? Remember how when Christchurch was a thing they were making videogame edits with all this ridiculous shit thrown in like it was some fantastic spectacle? I think these people want to be entertained, and fascism becomes a vehicle in which, even temporarily they can live in something like what they grew up watching/playing.
>>551087Well, it's like Fight Club. In the case of the movie, the "heroic doubling" between the Narrator and Tyler Durden is presented very literally: he's a schizo with a split personality. I don't think that's exactly how it works, but it's a useful enough metaphor for a movie. I don't think the lesson people should take from the movie is "wow this is based" either, but I also don't think the lesson is that these people are simply "crazy." Well, they are nuts. But it's like a very focused kind of crazy. And… we live in a society. And that society produced the Fight Club. So, society is crazy, man.
These Patriot Front guys are doing the same shit. They're running around at night and making videos set to bad retrowave music and wearing costumes and doing petty vandalism. It's basically a cult that tries to control their members' lives, and, if left to do their own thing, could conceivably develop into something more serious. They're the kind of guys who'd watch the movie and think the Fight Club is based and not a cry for help.
i forgot where this claim that they try to present fascism as acceptable but it seems as if they have a dying hatred of shit that they deem to be "materialistic". They are really trying to tie marxism with valleygirl consumerism. I think they want to be seen as deep and edgy "INTJ" based archetypes but then fall over themselves with the fact that their ideology is simply not very well founded and a lot of it is simply a projection of the wishes that was implanted into them by the general cultural miasma of image boards
>>551053Your analysis here actually explains the weird obsession that /v/ and /tg/fags have over the "Human Male Fighter" archetype. It's sheer minimalism generally masks their inability to actually be very creative, not necessarily because they have no real creative instinct, people on image boards have created shit all the time but the lack of OC generally comes from a fear of being labeled as "Cringe". They must always win and always be the chad face. They can never self-deprecate and as such there is a general limit to their ability to create anything because they are afraid of looking vulnerable.
>>551086Well, I'm glad he seems like he isn't going to go on a shooting spree. Also thanks for the vid, listening to it right now.
>>551087I'm not sure what's the "trigger" that railroads people towards Fascism or Communism, but I think beyond the fantastical stuff in society, there's a deceptive simplicity people are exposed to that frustrates would-be Fascists precisely
because they think it's more "real" than the fantastical stuff. I'm talking the Slice of Life bullshit you see on anime. Or advertisements of people hanging out with their friends.
I can't remember where I heard this. I wanna say it was the manifesto of Elliot Roger or some such (never read it, just heard portions of it second hand) but there was one InCel murderer who wrote on and on about how he'd, like, see couples having dinner in a restaurant together and he'd seethe that he wasn't there. He wrote some fantasy about taking this blonde woman out to a café, and just went on and on about the details like he was painting a picture… but he never actually engaged with what would be said, what the woman's personality was to be like, how they were supposed to meet. Y'know, the actual
person themselves.The reality is that Life is really complicated. Trying to box it into a metaphysical narrative, where you assume that people act like characters in a slice of life show, is overly simplistic. The InCel I mentioned above wanted to look back on his own life like it was a fucking commercial, where it doesn't matter what's being said or who he's sitting across from, all that matters are the "aesthetics." So of course he ends up being deeply dissatisfied with life.
>>551089I'd say its really important, psychologically speaking, for people to embrace a degree of cringe.
Children spend their time wondering if the show their watching, or the things they're doing, are girly or gay or stupid or some shit. Being able to embrace the weird to a degree can at least get people interested in you.
It's funny you mention the "Human Male Fighter" though. I play D&D with a few friends of mine, and to some extent there's patterns in how we make characters that, and this might be a reach, seem to give a bit of insight into each player's psychology.
>>551091The thing about /tg/ is that nobody actually fucking plays tabletop games there. I even tried to get a game there and it basically never materialized. I tried that shit FIVE FUCKING TIMES from way back in the 2011 to now and it's still true. These assholes just read about people playing games and then larp about how their trad fighter guy is this super interesting character because he isn't cringe or whatever unlike the tieflings that apparently infest the hobby (Which I barely ever seen play outside of 4chan outside of an ironic edgelord character)
Basically they use cliches to supplement their ability to analyze anything, it's pure group thin

Big bombs doesn't build themselves. You gotta start small with models, you know.
>>551091>I'm not sure what's the "trigger" that railroads people towards Fascism or Communism, but I think beyond the fantastical stuff in society, there's a deceptive simplicity people are exposed to that frustrates would-be Fascists precisely because they think it's more "real" than the fantastical stuff.For communism in western countries, I think it's often the case that it attracts people who are not happy or are poorly adjusted as well, because if you're not happy then it's helpful to find a comprehensive framework to pinpoint why you and a lot of other people are not happy. Just because it happens to be significant to poorly-adjusted people, however, doesn't mean it's not accurate. What it does mean is that outside of some very unique historical circumstances, you're one step behind. Marxism is a *critical* framework, which can get in the way of embracing the current moment. Also the current moment with COVID and massive inflation is terrible to live through. So you can only trust in the historical process, which no one is in control of.
The people who seem to stick with it and don't get brain damage seem to fully embrace that last sentence and accept this fact. Easier said that done of course.
>>551101>>551102>>551103>>551104I mean to be fair, Fascists too have a way of pinpointing why they're unhappy. It's unscientific nonsense, but it still exists: usually it's just Jews or foreigners or women or liberals or something.
If I had to guess, I'd assume that faced with the nihilism of modern society, Fascists essentially embrace wanton cruelty and hate whereas Communists at least try to build something in spite of it.
>>551105I'll doing some further research into that Brandon guy. After all he left some stickers for a bunch of us to find; I assume he wants to share his beliefs with his neighbors.
>>551111>So I've been browsing the internets and the biggest thing that I get from right-winger is that this is somehow an FBI thing, and not actually retarded right-wingers that agree with them on 99% of issues. Is this just major cope, or the usual cowardice from the right whenever something doesn't go their way?I think it's a combination of everything and nothing at the same time.
PF managed to get some 100 men with normal BMI to show up at the same time with their clothes coordinated. And the J6-crowd shouts: "FEDS!"
I think that most of PF:s work was their own. But being incompetent, it would be a waste of resources to infiltrate them. Maybe they got one on the inside, but I doubt it. Because if shitty OPSEC turns into OPINT, why bother?
I'm also not buying that they got infiltrated by that 47-year old dude. Especially since they've got this 35-year cap.
>>551113Neoliberalism is the most antihuman, dark tetradic ideology, and yet its proponents are the perfect samples for yielding 'high intelligence' test results.
If you want to go down the rabbit hole of ascribing essential qualities to groups in relation to intelligence, then funnily enough, you are indistinguishably following reactionary logic, since we can very easily supplant the subject from 'right-wingers' to 'blacks' etc.
Also, the platonic ideal is a fascistic concept. Communists are not platonists; dialectical materialists consists in the rejection of idealized forms.
>>551118Yeah, and there's no correlation between a high general intelligence (
g) and generall industriousness (
i). Experience shows that if you want someone to really fuck things up, you need somene with a high autism score. And regarding climate change, the worst there is are men with a degree in civil engineering.
>>551119Do you?
If you want to throw a monkey wrench in the system, get a literal retard elected to the highest office.
>>551118The dynamic I described is true, you can look it up. Highly unintelligent people are more antisocial on average. The average antisocial person tends to be of lower than average or of average intelligence. One of the biggest predictors of highly prosocial behavior, even more than big 5/hexaco model traits like honesty/humility, agreeablness, and conscientiousness is high intelligence.
There is a sort of association in the societal understanding of highly antisocial or "evil" people being more intelligent than the average person, even while scientific testing tells that in many cases the opposite is true. It is my hypothesis that this is because the most powerful people in class society tend to be more antisocial than the average person, and said individuals that make up our ruling class tend to think of themselves and to idealize themselves as being highly intelligent. So they would want to portray themselves as such. Additionally many of them are comfortable and even proud of their antisocial inclinations, they identify with them in an ego-syntonic way, so of course they will want to portray their antisocial inclinations in a positive light. To appear evil is no shame but to appear stupid is. I think another factor is that people will naturally be suspicious of those that are more intelligent than them, as they see such people as a threat, similarily there is an association between a person's height and how suspicious other people perceieve them to be.
Was Kissenger actually that intelligent? One trait common of high functioning psychopaths, narcissists and machiavellians is that other people tend to predict them as more intelligent and more competent than others, even while those observations do not match objective and scientifically sound measurements.
>>551125Biden and Trump, pick one qualified for the job.
Pro-tip:
YOU CANT >>551124Yeah, and it samples people who admit it, which only encompasses an impulsive type of sociopath. I’m already familiar with what you’re talking about which is why I think its measurements are based on flawed premises, granted, I think that’s a lot psychological research.
Sociopathy doesn’t necessarily require impulse control issues. Like I said, the ones who are going to admit it are not going to test well by virtue of their own inability to control themselves.
>>551021>The antifas are one step ahead of them and have the initiative.It's beautiful that the groups
yes, plural that allegedly aren't an organization are still more organized than a group that fantasizes about order and control and discipline.
>>551129How do you know it’s not related?
Did they actually control for it?
That’s exactly the problem.
The majority of samples that I’ve seen come from the prison system. There is no longer a material benefit to hiding their condition. That population is also not know for their impulse control. I also find tales of self-admitted sociopaths incredibly questionable.
Normally they self-diagnose themselves and seem a quite bit more borderline than full blown sociopathic.
>>551131>How do you know it’s not related? How do you know it's related? that deduction seems unlikely and logically inconsistant to me as I have just pointed out but I have no hard evidence either.
>The majority of samples that I’ve seen come from the prison systemThe studies I have seen that supported the above conclusions I mentioned were of anonymous measurements of people in non incarcerated populations, for example university students.
>I also find tales of self-admitted sociopaths incredibly questionable.>Normally they self-diagnose themselves and seem a quite bit more borderline than full blown sociopathic.What are you basing this statement on?
>>551133> How do you know it's related?I don’t, but it’s reasonable to want to control external variables. Considering impulsivity is already associated with a lower IQ, how can you be certain its not influencing the results?
> What are you basing this statement on?Online internet communities, generally.
> borderline personality disorder is not at all related to psychopathy or sociopathy, these are seperate conditions involving different traits and symptomsWhich is why I said BPD, because they clearly aren’t sociopaths even in the way they describe themselves.
>>551122>Do you?>If you want to throw a monkey wrench in the system, get a literal retard elected to the highest office.Yeah, I know about Cipolla's 5 basic laws on stupidity. But what's most damaging is
systemic stupidity. Or, for the lack of a better word, lack of wisdom.
For you who know swedish, here's on stupidity:
https://sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/dumhet-p3-dystopiaAnd here's on McNamara's Folly:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNDsd798HR4 >>551136> Who isn't?Well, apparently whoever you’re talking to and you take their word for. I’ll admit, there are difference in that there are survey tools used and the like, but you’re still reliant on self-reporting which is always a vulnerability. At least with the prison system, you have an established pattern of behavior that led to them being diagnosed.
But I don’t know how you would ever get a reliable result from, university students of all people, taking an anonymous survey and not just scribbling answers they feel that day. Sociopaths are already considered a small population and having a few individuals purposely fudging there answers could really skew the results. I’ve seen some strange and hilarious answers on anonymous questionnaires.
>>551130There's a phrase Mao used once about his enemies, "teachers by negative example." But for fascist groups, I think they need everything to go according to plan, but they don't handle plans going awry very well. The Charlottesville riot was similar because I think their plan was to basically kick everyone's asses but look like the good guys because their enemies would attack them first. Bing bong. Simple.
But that doesn't really work when one guy punches you or throws a bottle at you, and the next guy is a priest who is praying at you, and the next couple of guys after that are linking arms and blocking a street that you need to march to the statue. So a fascist punches a priest on camera or batters their way through the blockade. There's too much going on so they get frustrated and blow it. Some start screaming about Hitler and look like maniacs. Then they turn on each other after it's over. It happens over and over again. That's dangerous though, case in point being the guy who drove his car into the crowd. It wouldn't surprise me if he was both very hyped up on a "we will crush our enemies" orcs vs. humans mindset while also being incredibly frustrated. He lacked patience, experience or critical distance to understand what was happening around him.
The Capitol riot was also similar. I think there were probably different groups and individuals who were trying to take advantage of it. I don't know if there was ever a serious plot to "overthrow the government" and install Trump as king. Maybe some wanted to do that. But I think a lot of the personalities involved were grifters thinking that they'd have a protest and then the people would go home and keep buying their brain pills and watching their streams and keep voting for the Republicans. There probably were agent provocateurs in the mix too. But the question I have is: why did the crowd at large so easily take the bait? Whereas the left didn't go anywhere near that motherfucker when it was going on because it smelled funny.
>>551111>>551112I think part of the mainstream rightard take that PF are glowies is because the left and the liberals are calling them Nazis, so they don't want to agree with that take. Or the fact that Unicorn Riot posted the data dump. On the one hand, the mainstream right is using that information to say that PF are discreditable. On the other hand, Unicorn Riot is a left-wing site which complicates any right-wing blogger using that information to attack PF, so I've seen some rightards say that this is all just further evidence that this all a glow plot (because antifas are also glowies now, they say) in that the feds have lured right-wingers into a trap and then closed the trap, as if both PF and antifa are both fed groups that are waging a fake battle to ensnare people. It's a very "Alex Jones" way of building a narrative, and the few defenders of PF online will say "at least they're doing something and you just want us to keep voting for Republicans." And I think that's also probably true even if PF are boobs.
I think that's one of the differences between the right and the left. The right has two modes: (a) do nothing and (b) OVERTHROW THE GUBMINT. The left operates more like a dimmer switch which can phase up and down.

>>551144I noticed a similar mentality to American soldiers and mercenaries in Iraq. You can at least hand it to the Brits to try to blend in like Lawrence of Arabia when they're embedded on a "civilizing" mission, but the Americans lack that tact and prefer to look like giant badasses who drive around in huge armored SUVs blasting Drowning Pool while shooting civilians in drive-bys. It's all Americana all the time – which pissed people off and came back around on them. Iraqi insurgents begun specifically targeting contractors.
The right-wing giant pickup truck dudes remind me of them. But I think they believe this over-the-top expression of strength will make them less vulnerable because no one will want to mess with them, while in reality, it can often be the opposite. They separate themselves out from the local population and make enemies of the local population.
It's like "Cowboys and Indians." But unlike the more mainstream right, the harder right-wing groups give up the pretense that imperialism and colonialism was ever for anyone's good.
>>551146To some extent I think the Right Wing's own excesses will be its downfall.
There was a NatReview article, about police departments seeing as much as a
50% drop off in recruits precisely because most people see cops and they think about violent psychos.
It's somewhat similar for Republicans, the vicious racism has alienated tons of sane people (and even fascists need a minority of pragmatists in their movement in order to actually function) and so they've got a serious gap in youth support.
It's like they're embracing the excesses of late stage Nazism while they're still in the "early stages" of forming, and the fact they're so undisciplined as to frequently end up starting random terrorist attacks on innocents just makes it harder for them to gain credibility.
>>551139>There's a phrase Mao used once about his enemies, "teachers by negative example."

It’s interesting that the militia groups that volunteerd to keep order had the sense to pull out. (Not that I see the point of using AKs for keeping order, but hey. They pulled out.)

Some legal expert gave advice on every button to push and in what order. And IFF the left showed up to counter-protest. What the hell was they going to do? Pick a spot in a park and declare it Trump free? No, it smelled funny, alright.

<Unicorn Riot currently has around 10 members, based in Boston, Denver, Minneapolis, Philadelphia and South Africa.[6][4][7] The media collective is non-hierarchical and makes decisions based on consensus.[8]I’m not saying that it won’t work. Because obviously it does. But they are basically stretching it. It’s said that the maximum size of a government cabinet is 8. If it’s larger, an inner cabinet will be formed. And non-hierarchical and making consensus-based decisions? Haha, but no. They do have an hierarchy and if you go for consensus, you will either do nothing or fall victim for a charismatic leader. But hey, UR. If you’re reading this. Why don’t you expand your group to 15 members? (No, don’t do that!)

https://www.newsweek.com/shades-the60s-153327
<Why these striking differences? On a recent trip to Europe I took an afternoon walk in a public park and was struck by how many young people in mod attire–pierced noses, dyed hair, combat boots–were out strolling with their grandparents after the traditional Sunday lunch. That image offers part of the answer: despite the '60s, Europe is still culturally conservative. In a strict sense, all cultures are conservative to the degree that they establish customs that grease the wheels of social life and impart those customs to new members of the society. But in a looser sense some cultures can be said to be more conservative in that they manage to decelerate changes in attitudes and behavior, moderating them in the process and weaving them into a continuous fabric with older ones by means of consensus. Modern European culture has always made room for those who rejected the consensus of the moment–bohemians, saints–because the strong centripetal force of custom has allowed the center to hold, leaving more space at the margins for those who don't fit in. The '60s posed a serious challenge to that consensus, yet it is striking today to see how successfully the new customs have been grafted onto the old.
<American culture is not conservative; it is democratic. Given their strong suspicion of inherited authority and their almost infinite faith in an individual's right to shape his own destiny, Americans have trouble accepting social customs whose provenance is unclear and whose authority they never consented to. This does not mean that Americans are always comfortable with diversity, for as we know there have been periods of stifling conformity and moralism in American history. What it does mean is that Americans see cultural changes as matters of principle that need to be publicly debated, and those debates can be polarizing. Americans have a reputation abroad for being pragmatic, which in economic and technical matters might be true. But on large political issues, and almost all cultural ones, Americans tend to be dogmatic and uncompromising because they see democratic principles at stake in them. That is why the post-'60s American debates over abortion, feminism, identity politics and school curricula seem so bizarre to Europeans, who may have views on these matters but generally don't think the fate of democracy hinges on them.Ergo: Europeans have easier to find their place in society. For americans, society is an eternal struggle where everything stands and falls with the individual.
>>550975>Anyone find it kinda conspicuous that they started to reactivate in October 2021, the same month the CIA declared war on China?How about this one: SEX with HITLER was released 22 January 2022. Coincidence?
>>550978>Yes? That's just politics. Do you think politics to be a non-violent process?I think that there should be a word for the law that says that someone calling for something the strongest are in direct inverse proportion the least fit to do it and would be the loudest protesters when they themselves are afflicted by it.

good things about American culture, dude.
>>551165no PF was a group of 5+
what most fantasize about on the fringe right is a completely disorganized mass with only a vague common goal made up of squads of 2-5
>>551167yes for many reasons.
going from one to two or three is very achievable.
but now compare that to the benefit of going from one person willing to commit violence to three and no more than that.
how much that multiplies the potential (e.g. don't have to go all in on a certain target, can have a getaway driver).
also think about how impossible to infiltrate, track, or even KNOW about such a group would be.
the trick is getting a lot of such groups, maybe 20 around the country.
again this is not the first time these things have been talked about or tried it's just that i don't see the widespread recognition of those aspirations in the vanguard of the right
>>551169>so who caresexactly my point.
no one cares that a bunch of dumb faggots get got by some astroturfed honeypot, certainly not the right.
just don't know who the thread is for exactly.
"obvious glow op has obvious conclusion."
is there literally anyone surprised by this or counts it as anything other than a meme?
i don't see any lamenting on the right so am curious how any could be rejoicing on the left
>>551139>I think part of the mainstream rightard take that PF are glowies is because the left and the liberals are calling them NazisI think it's more basic, and something even observable here:
>movement that purports to be on your side but sucks or compromises values = glowie/fedIt's that simple. conspiracy 101.
A pathetic attempt at a fascist party is feds.
If you don't like antifa, they're feds.
That communist party that doesn't do what you agree with are feds.
>>551176I'd also say that historically, feds rarely formed parties ex nihilo, unless it was to create a group of useful idiots to attack already existing parties. Patriot Front didn't do that, in fact it was actively trying to grow itself, which is something Feds don't do if their goal is to maintain order because even if they control the levers of power, it's still giving their enemies a means to organize with each other and network.
They're pathetic retards and /pol/ is coping by saying they're some federal plot to make them look bad. When the reality is half the time the fashies on that board don't organize is because they know deep down they'd look pathetic.
>>551177You forgot
>>551085, of which hails from the zip
>>551181I've yet to meet a /pol/ zoomer, and I'm in the cutoff between late millennial and early zoomer. Granted, it might just be the local culture out here, but most of the zoomers I've met have no small amount of disgust for the extreme right. The "MUH TRAD MASCULINITY" shit mostly appeals to weird schizotypal personalities on the internet. Shit even young men painting their nails isn't too uncommon out here.
Whenever the topic's turned to politics I've straight up told young people I'm a member of the Communist Party and they've gotten a kick out of it more than anything. A few even said they'd join "If I've finally had enough of this bullshit."
Fuck, even among young Republicans a not insignificant portion of them trend further left than most of their party. Namely 'cause they see climate change as an existential threat.
The point being, young people are alright. The rightward minority of Gen Z are mostly a result of being depressed and having unfettered access to shitholes like /pol/.
>>551181>That is why white zoomers are mostly /pol/lacks and other sorts.Depends on one's sexuality and one's domicile. Urbanites and women are more likely to come out as liberals politically and as such frequent Twitter and Instagram.
>>551183>The rightward minority of Gen Z are mostly a result of being depressed and having unfettered access to shitholes like /pol/.You mean more radical? Most if not all American zoomers are rightoids. Because liberalism is indeed, a right-wing thought.
>>551155>I think you'd find this interesting:I do. Thanks! :-)
>>551157May I restress it for you?
The
culture of the US is
democratic.
>>551158>This is one of the few good things about American culture, dude.Do they really think it's *fun* to relive the 60's over and over? :-/
Here's one consequence of that:
https://www.everydayhealth.com/womens-health/things-to-know-about-this-summers-birth-control-ruling/
<The Supreme Court ruled that employers can refuse to offer birth control coverage as mandated by the Affordable Care Act if they have religious or moral objectionsI don't recall her name, but it was an american woman who needed contraceptive pills in order to make her menstrual cycle not go haywire. The reason her employer nixed that? Because it was his personal responsibility to…something.
>>551179Marching around in circles too
>>551198>>551200This is kind of thing that would make me think this is a controlled organization, if they were. Like, it's bizarre.
This photo montage came via Gateway Pundit, a right-wing boomer blog that is calling these guys feds. The montage is from a different group called XRVision which is apparently a scammy "face recognition" company (that doesn't apparently possess actual such technology) and was known for shopping around "analysis" of antifa and BLM protesters in 2020 to conservative media outlets – but they seem to have turned their trade on Patriot Front, which is a fun case of friendly fire.
Anyways, the montage shows the leader's "bodyguard" and everything I've seen says this is accurate: antifas had previously doxxed the dude. But he's an Air Force veteran who is tied up in some Krav Maga gym run by a bunch of other ex-military guys and at least one current Pentagon contractor. The specific PF guy apparently works at a grocery store though so I dunno. Is he the "handler?" Who knows.
>>551201So Rosseau's bodygard is a Krav Maga aka Jew-Fu instructor?
And I gotta admit that Rosseau looks kinda slick with that belt buckle, scarf and beard, no homo & ngl.
>>550935Fake news.
Everyone knows white women fuck the barking jew, not the purring one.
>>551205Sure, but still…
1?
>>551203I'm really not the kind of guy who thinks every wannabe fascist leader is a closet gay, but COME ON
>>551205I think that's why they depend on optics and illusion to project intimidation and why they're so terrified of being exposed, because you see they're nothing to be afraid of.
Objectively, the cops are a million times a bigger threat than them. In a mostly black neighborhood in America, these guys would possibly get killed and that's not an exaggeration.
But if 30 of these guys showed up at a lefty thing of inexperienced zoomers and they're wearing their uniforms and shouting and throwing out flares and the people they're targeting don't know anything about them, then that could be intimidating.
A mod has informed me that /pol/tourists are repeatedly reporting leaks posted in this thread in the hopes of getting them deleted.
"Particularly the mp3s", which I assume means this:
>>551098>>551099>>551226LMAOWhy do they want to damage control this so bad on a small site like leftypol?
The information is probably already out there on twitter and possibly reddit.
>>5512281) Bad theory. Not just no theory but second+ hand bad theory. They unironically believe in white genocide or a Great Replacement. To them, the Americanization, decadence and liberalism is all evidence white people are becoming week, and it's the fault of powerful institutions like the media, and therefore, in their worldview, Jews.
In a similar way to how we point at many major issues in society that result from society operating under capitalism, they substitute that with the group that they believe is naturally and/or culturally greedy and colluding for power. It's kind of a no-theory for people who consider nature-over-nurture or correlation as causation in socioeconomic statistics. You see that trend in many of their other major points, le blacks commit 105% of grimes
The Jew becomes the scapegoat of the shortcomings of their in-group, because they've seen enough correlation of their role in the media and social activist who happen to be Jewish. Consider the Hibernian Conspiracy: that's what unreasoned pattern noticing does to a motherfucker. White people are 'weak liberals' and 'soyboys'? Jews did this. White people don't want to dominate other races? Jews did this. Trans people in schools? Jews did this to deteriorate the whites. That's their mindset: Jews want to conquer whites and this is their method.
2) 'Jew' is a colloquial term to them, with one of those meanings being something 'evil' or that threatens da white man. It comes from this 'root of all evil' mindset described above.
3) Virgin-identity politics (incel culture). Scapegoating for why women must be unreasonable in not liking them. It must be that they're fucking pets instead of us! It must be that they're manipulative succubi! It must be that the media glorified alpha males!
I wonder if there's a term for this synthesis of brownshart incelism.
>>551233>pic>some radfem idea from the 70s that has stewed in its own juices for decadesHo-hum. Fresh!
>>551234>Its nothing new, in the memoirs of some SS member they talked about how they saw some women marching in weimar germany and how he had some kind of episode where their mouths kept expanding as they protested and eventually just ate him whole. fascists have always had very weird sexual complexes.Based and mouthpilled!
>>551237*takes a shot of whiskey* Well, stranger, there's nothing wrong with admiring a man who likes to engage in a little dressup from time to time… although admittedly this one also keeps detailed statistics about his all-male youth organization's fitness levels so they have good physiques when they "perform." But he's from Grapevine, TX. There are zero cowboys in Grapevine, and I can assure you that – let alone any (other than him) wearing a bright red scarf, possibly in the whole entire state.
Well, other than at the Round-Up Saloon but that draws a different kind of cowboy if you catch my drift.

I'll tell you this: you've raised us your Egyptian Kek? I raise you a purring Jew! Ten plagues upon your houses, Pharaoh!

And "anti-semitic pro-zionism" is no contradiction in terms. Gotta have this conveyor belt to Israel. Just ask Yoram Hazony who totally isn't helpful to jews outside of Israel.

>And "anti-semitic pro-zionism" is no contradiction in terms.Oh, i'm aware. I just don't understand why people on places like /pol/ would do this.

>Oh, i'm aware. I just don't understand why people on places like /pol/ would do this.Because it's simpler so. Last time they tried a mass murder of jews a wild Stalin showed up.
Better to just plod along with eating and keeping the cake. With the

>>551302it's pretty funny though
enjoy a good lolcow while it lasts
>>551302Actually all this stuff is pretty old. Their rocketchat got hacked last October apparently. The information obtained was one big nothing burger, now Antifa can only hope that there was enough of a big splash to scare away potential recruits.
What do you guys think?
>>551304>What do you guys think?I think more damaging is just the active penetration of the organization with moles which disrupts their organizing. Patriot Front figured out a trick which is to have surprise flash mobs as a way of creating an appearance of strength with 100 guys suddenly materializing and marching down the street with no warning. For potential recruits, that's attractive because there's safety in numbers and the opposition doesn't have time to mobilize in response, and if the opposition does know about their plans and puts out the call, Patriot Front can just switch up the plan. That way, Patriot Front is always going to have the upper hand.
Obviously, the countermove to this is to go after their logistics which is what antifa did in D.C. – they knew where Patriot Front staged their vehicles and smashed them up costing the group thousands of dollars in damages, which raises the cost curve to a level that risks becoming unsustainable. So what Patriot Front has to do now, I think, is to pull more of their people away from the marches just to protect their vehicles, which reduces the safety-in-numbers image they want to put out to attract recruits.
>>551305Right, mostly correct, though the recent Rouseau interview refuted the notion of large cost incursions.
In their last action, funnily enough they all took the subway to attend and faced much less problems by simply walking slowly in numbers. The Antifas did try to harrass them but were unable to and looked weak facing them. Have you seen it?
>>551306>Right, mostly correct, though the recent Rouseau interview refuted the notion of large cost incursions.I haven't listened to it, and well, he would say that… y'know? He'll always say that everything is going according to plan and that they're unstoppable and yada yada. Their brand-new van that one dude bought for them was also totaled.
>In their last action, funnily enough they all took the subway to attend and faced much less problems by simply walking slowly in numbers. The Antifas did try to harrass them but were unable to and looked weak facing them. Have you seen it?Yeah, but that was also the same day the big data dump happened and that wasn't a coincidence. They dropped it to coincide with the march and the leak got more attention. Also the notion of appearing "weak" doesn't really fly when it's known now that Patriot Front literally calls the police on themselves before marches so they can have a cop escort.
>>551319antifa is communists and anarchists, it's anti-sectarian
this is how i can tell you're terminally online
>>551320I did run across a group of middle-aged women at a protest once called the "Auntie-Fa" who'd hold signs saying things like "does your mother know where you are?"
>>551322One member of that group died of a drug overdose recently and another went to prison for sexually propositioning a 10-year-old and possessing child pornography. If you're a far-right guy from /pol/, do you want people like this representing your movement? You gotta grow up and take responsibility for your movement.
>>551323liberals are not in antifa
there is literally 0 reason to believe they would have the balls or even any reason to combat fascism
