Posadist mod is by one of ours, hunt out the MapGoons thread in PGS if you're down for multiplayer madness and the aforementioned No Nazis policy

last time i did this it was a coop game of usa and the guy in charge of research picked dispersed industry which lead to me being constantly accused of doing this + other wrecking and being threatened with a kick ban by the host i guess cause i dont poopsock in their discord like the rest of those players, so i broke my assignment of only controlling 2 infantry units and canceled his dispersed research then picked concentrated, quit and never played with mapgoons again. i guess what im saying is no nazis is a good policy but also taking it to the other extreme and reenacting 1930s bolshevik paranoia isnt the answer

this is an easy question, i would certainly be delicious in any messier world than we inhabit now. not too fatty to be tempting, rather sort of meaty and juicy, and too passive to argue against going in the stew

Recently I've been browsing lots of catalogs of die cast model cars, and some of these lesser known manufacturers make peculiar choices when it comes to models of historic event cars or military vehicles. That's, uh, a lot of Mussolinis, and a decent amount of Hitlers and Rommels (and how many 1/43 Eva Brauns and Blondis do you think exist out there?). Occasionally, you do find the surprising exception

I'm not sure if this is in production currently, but Zvezda, the major Russian plastic kit manufacturer, makes a 1/72 Pe-8 (Soviet four engine bomber, only produced in small numbers) with a 1/72 Stalin. (Stalin and other big Soviets used the Pe-8 as a VIP transport.)

Still, there's a postive side to all of this: think of the dioramas possible with Adolf Hitler, Dinosaurs, and an small army of 1/72 popes?

This is the kind of thing that gets the FBI's attention. Also keep in mind that most of the organized groups are chock full of informants, where this group is basically out in the woods and out of pocket, so the feds probably don't know any more than anyone else. That's what makes them scary. The cops are just seeing what seems like rando murders and we're only now starting to see the pattern.

Directly connecting the two is difficult though. There is a clear affinity with AWD sharing the cult's literature, but beyond that, it gets tricky. But knowing the cult's M.O...

Fats Dominar is on the case


the alt right is turning inward post c-ville. their ability to persuade is basically nil because their ideology is heinous and they lack charisma. they can’t project power anymore because their rallies are wet farts that get outnumbered 10 to 1; the masses of idiots who would give them strength in numbers were all scared off. their policy agenda has fallen apart because trump was never /theirguy/ and so they have no legislative champions. the extent of their power is getting rude opinions about foreigners into print, and of course random acts of stochastic terrorism.

it makes sense that they’re spreading their poison on games and messageboards. it’s all they have left. the only thing they can do is basically banner-drop digitally. they have to persuade as many people as possible because if they don’t, maybe they were wrong the whole time, and they blew up their own lives for nothing. it’s the ideology equivalent of a pyramid scheme. they can’t persuade, so all they can do is endlessly sock puppet and repeat their propaganda everywhere, to maybe feel less lonely and less like they’re losing.

I foresee a lot more suicides from people who can’t deprogram.

They're the farm team for a whole generation of state and local officials, with probably some future appointments like Miller and maybe a few congressmen. Remember that the guy who made TheRedPill was a state rep in Vermont(?), and that the very fist chuds to stew in the 4chan broth are in their early 30s by now. Now that old white people have been primed to stop acting like they care about racism, they're going to love the nice fat young men with receding hairlines.

They've also got Sessions and Steve King firmly in their corner right now, plus probably a lot more people in the House that have been quiet for the moment.

there’s a huge gulf between the alt right and regular old nativist Republicans, especially as regards the JQ. the forces in control of the Republican Party are globalist free traders. sure, they’re racist, but racism has been a plank of the Republican Party for decades. Republican state reps posting odious racist memes is not new.

The leaders of AWD actually met with the author of Siege, James Mason. They had a picture taken with him, and apparently he offered to collaborate with them. I wonder what his role is. This was all in one of their propaganda videos named something like Siege Is Back. I can't check right now because I'm at work lol.

A good take. My only quibble is that guys like Bannon are still out there, and are rich AF, and apparently are just fine by the media and his fellow richers. Bannon is on Newsweek's cover again, this week. Maybe he's different from the Alt Right, but the dude is a Nazi, and I sorta lump all the untermenchen together

I bet by feeding names of known suspects into a text rendering engine you can figure out what's under the redactions. Every name should have a pretty unique width when rendered in a particular font

My feeling with the flyers is to tear them down but otherwise ignore them. Patriot Front's goal is to get media attention and to inflame public sentiment as a means to recruit -- and also they take photos and use that to feed content to their social media channels. I've even seen them pose as anti-racists and spread the "news" online and to local subreddits acting outraged at the Nazis in the community. But it's like a handful of guys doing it, a lot of them look like they're in their 30s, traveling around Texas doing it to all the colleges.

Also some of them did a 40-mile hike across Houston yesterday to prepare for what I can only think they imagine to be a looming race war.

Yea it was pretty cool. I just tried to google it up but I can't remember the right words so I'm getting jack poo poo.

The DOBs are probably in the same font, and can be used to verify if the name is correct. Two matching widths should be pretty rare.

Irregular font sizes and crooked lines vs perfectly black and straight redaction boxes suggest that it was printed, scanned and the scanned image redacted in an image editor, so no luck there I'm afraid
