We’ve now studied nearly 700 who have been arrested, and we’ve brought the study up to date as of early December. What we see is, over half of those who have been arrested aren't typical right wing extremists but downwardly mobile petty bourgeoisie.

    TL;DR: The brunt of the :frothingfash: were mainstream news-consuming Great Replacement CHUDs from Dem-leaning districts.

      I heard somewhere that the biggest correlation was zip codes where the white population ratio was decreasing

      Which bears out, because these motherfuckers are all about the great replacement foam at the mouth shit

    Isn't the typical Right Winger a downwardly mobile PB? Like the PB under stress is literally the trigger for Facsist development.

      Yes. But according to this researcher only 13% of those arrested were members of right wing extremist (RWE) groups. Apparently RWE are young ( 2/3 under 34), unemployed (25%), uneducated (90% have no college degree), veteran (40%), criminals (64%). But the arrested have demographics more typical of mainstream, white, genX (40-50 year old) Americans.

      Of course, this assumes the arrested are a representative group. Maybe they only caught rioters while ineffectual insurectionists at least practiced good opsec.

    Woah I didn't realize they'd actually arrested this fucking many. Sometimes the pigs barbecue themselves

      The charges they were handing out were like a couple months at best :thinking-about-it:
