    I know they won't organize on their own, but the next town over has been recruiting for Patriot Front and it won't be long before they decide to abandon any pretense of libertarianism and just go straight fash

      Maybe. Or maybe they'll just kinda wither away like the Tea Party crowd and the Ron Paul folks and the Constitution Party dudes before them.

      Organizing takes time and energy and money. Doing petty vandalism when your friend is the Sheriff and will turn a blind eye is a bit different than trying to start pirating off the local interstate.

      I'm not saying it won't happen, but a lot of these Heated Gamer Moments can flare out in interpersonal squabbles or simply burn out as people find more pressing things to do with their time. The whole reason State Sponsored Terrorism is scary stems from the fact that they'll do the legwork to keep the fire burning when it would normally just gutter out on its own.
