The most surprising part to me is the FBI actually investigating and prosecuting rather than funding and assisting.

    Honestly if you are buying the story the FBI is pitching, you are a rube.

    The chance that they entrapped these guys, given the FBIs history, is high.

    I'm sure these guys fucking suck but don't buy the narrative pitched from the US secret police.

        It is, in fact, not, because they will use the same tactics against us ten times for every right wing militia they string out to show that they are "not politically motivated".

          and when they do it to the Left it's bad. Kind of like how a left wing uprising is awesome and cool while a right wing one is kristalnacht

          they'll never get far before someone on the group calls someone else a lib, then arguments about theory break out, and they never get back on topic before the group completely implodes.

          They're going to do all that stuff against the left anyways. Right wing lone actor domestic terrorism is a much bigger threat than anything else happening in the world of revolutionary politics in the US.

        Entrapping right-wing psychos who are relatively harmless to build public support for the FBI, which is a group of actually organized and harmful right-wing psychos is bad actually

        I think the scary thing is that they might use this as a method to increase/justify the police state surveillance, like how post-911 the FBI would be like "look at these dangerous ISIS members we just captured! This is why we need to tap your grandma's phone line now!" But I guess that's already happening so whatever

          Upbears are never risky, I don't know what you're talking about.
