It really shows that the fear of armed fascists in the US is a bit overblown. The days of the White League taking over government buildings is long gone and instead you get whatever this is.
I wouldn't say that; and no disrespect to you, but I think it's irresponsible and dangerous to allow this notion to be pushed, in the sense of undermining vigilance. The US objectively has the most, and the largest, organized armed fascist militias in the world. Most of them just aren't adventurist dipshits. (Also this guy seems to be a radical neolib rather than a political fascist, which is honestly very funny.)
But just as there are adventurist provocateur dipshits on the left, as well as shrewd Marxists who denounce individual acts of violence or terror as adventurism that only alienates the public from us and gives an excuse and support for hyper-violent suppression of the left by the state; there are also adventurist provocateur dipshits on the far right, as well as shrewd fascists who denounce individual acts of violence and terror for the same, and are instead quietly training and movement-building; keeping their activities such that half the people in their life and at their jobs don't even know they're murderous racists. For every group of neo-nazi oo-rah chestbeaters you see on the street, and every lone-worm mass-shooter, there are 100 groups and 1000s of shrewd fascists, quietly growing their base, who are infinitely more dangerous. And it's worth holding that in mind.
All those guns, yet Americans can't seem to hit shit.
What happens when they're just for show of power not being useful
