Members of neo-Nazi ‘active clubs’ join combat events at secretive Virginia compound

Those children would be furious if they could read

Yet many of these militia’s joined ICE to be able to take the actions they wanted and get paid to do it…

They want to be a “one man gay Jew wrecking crew.” not Himmler's foot soldiers. [Samuel Woodward](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Blaze_Bernstein). They want to be a "one man race war" [Joseph Paul Franklin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Paul_Franklin). They want to be [Hunter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_(Pierce_novel)). Imagining fascists as wanting to engage in "real war" fails to grasp the trajectory of American Nazi real world goals because they understand a fourth reich is not feasible in their life time.

I'm honestly not a fan of downplaying an active threat like this. A lot of them are suicidal, fanatical, and desperate, there have been many instances of them dying in a shootout with police, and just a few months ago one of them shot a few firefighters to death in Northern Idaho. The threat is legitimate and dangerous and needs to be counteracted, in my opinion, by community organization and training, rather than dismissing them as barbarians or whatnot.

It's not like they'd be wrong. The US government has white supremacists and Neo-nazis in multiple leadership roles.

While I appreciate the further information, let's respect the sanctity of the bit

The same sport but not the brand as far as I know. 

You’re misinterpreting my comment. I’ve known about the Wolves of Vinland for years and know they have this compound in Virginia.

*Martial law...

This is like a couple dozen losers that are training in hand-to-hand combat to make themselves feel better about their own fragile masculinity. They're small scale threats that would be utterly worthless in any sort of combat with firearms.

Im not an American so Im not physically in danger of the dumpster fire there. Only financially exposed to it. I never said they weren't capable of violence, clearly you didnt read my post or it was too nuanced.

That's exactly why I live in Bumpass, because that's how the world works.

He was a quaker, so...probably not.

Or read the article about what is being discussed so you can have a more informed contribution.  The link is at the top of the page. Have you ever watched a movie with someone who spends half the movie asking what just happened, what's going on, why did he do that etc  Also, these groups aren't that new. Patriot Front has been around for as long as I've been online. 

_I'm genuinely curious. Do people who are labeled "neo-Nazi", self-identify as "neo-Nazi"?_ The reason you got shutdown like that is because people who support those ideologies will often start their arguments in support of such ideas asking the same questions. Such behavior is so ubiquitous that most people seeing your comment assumed that you were doing the same. Basically they thought you were covering for neo-nazis, who usually use euphemistic terms to appear more innocent to people who don't know better. Although something like Patriot Front might not, based on the name, sound like it's neo-nazi to somebody that hasn't looked into it, when you examine the ideology they promote it's actually just fascism.  It's the same old stuff with a new veneer or modern spin.   I just wanted to explain this to you in case you were genuine in your curiosity.  People are really on edge about this stuff because it's a threat to a peaceful, democratic society. As a result people get very emotional about it.  That's why people just reacted, instead of giving you the benefit of the doubt. If you were indeed honestly just curious, because you don't know about it, then it wasn't fair that you received such an abrupt response.  I'm as guilty as some of the others here, because my initial response wasn't as helpful as it could have been. I hope this clears up some of the bewilderment you may have experienced at the replies you received.  If you need further information or resources feel free to DM. I may not immediately respond, but I will respond.  I apologize if my earlier response was overly harsh. Sometimes assumption turns people into assholes.
