I see the media’s extreme reluctance in calling white people “terrorists” continues.
They ain’t no christian thank you very much. Else they’d avoid doing harm unto others, lying etc.
Bit of a “No True Scotsman” fallacy, unfortunately. But I agree that many modern Christians do not espouse the teachings of Christ, but rather worship their own rules and prejudices. Just like the very people Christ admonished in their religious text.
“Extremist” is such a copout term… as if they’re just eccentric rather than violent degenerates.

Oh, I’m sure. All of these extremist and militia nutjobs are just LARPing fools who wish for the worst, but would actually shit their pants if things really went down. They like feeling important in their otherwise mundane lives, not actually having to do anything dangerous.
Don’t get excited. That picture is a “booking photo from 2018,” from some previous fuckery.
This guy and his lackeys are just out there, freely doing this shit, right now. I imagine that if someone was to head over to the Ingles Markets in Lake Lure, NC, on NC-9 just south of US 64, they might still be there.
Watching republicans turn against the military is very interesting. They say trump is anti war but anti military might be a better description. Meanwhile, the military has more respect for the US Constitution and might be the ultimate check against the power of trumpists. Methinks the US is fucked.
What’s kinda crazy to me is that if we rounded the whole group up, we’d probably get a few cops and military personnel working with them.
“Some of those that work forces…”
