In case anyone forgot, this man's primary source of income is alimony payments from his rich ex-wife.

i've seen some goons who listen in on right-wing shortwave radio observe how a lot of them are a loss at what to do, because they prepared for an EMP knocking out the civil authority. but the rate we're going, the cops are going to stop and question you if you're not obviously either going to your job (if you have one) or to buy groceries.

some will also jump the gun and get hosed up for it

Instigate a response from the normies and then racial holy war as the escalating strife and violence guides people back into ethnic groups and white people realize the existential necessity of white supremacy. It’s what all the siege/turner diary inspired terror larpers believe. Their game plan has never really evolved pst Charles mansons. They just want to instigate a situation where the conservative white majority is forced to side with them leading into an apocalyptic race war.

two big goals of terrorism are to inspire sympathetic people to act, then promote an overreaction that will radicalize moderates. kind of like, oh, I don't know, attacking the WTC and provoking two wars that the Bush administration was looking for an excuse to get into and end up infesting the region with al qaeda and isis splinter groups.

Think like a drooling, Nazi simp.

If Rona is a hoax designed to make Donnie look bad, and people in hospital are being reimbursed to make them look bad, then the best way to show them (and the world) that it is nowhere near as bad is to terrorize these people away from hospitals.

OF COURSE its Belton

I don't know the fancy name for it but the layout of that place feels slipshod, makes me feel, like, psychically ill. Minimum city planning, culverts everywhere, strip malls backed by sparse and lovely wild growth. It looks like a completely run down town of maybe 2,000 but it's more like 25k iirc. Not atypical for KCMO suburbs- the 'nice' one is Lee's Summit and it does the Missouri thing of making the state highway also the main commercial drag, absolute dogshit- but Belton takes It to another level and I spit on okcupid for causing me to stew in its foul aura at all

sure, and targets like mosques, synagogues, or black churches are in line with this. but i'm still unable to wrap my head around the "logic" of blowing up a hospital, it isn't even symbolic of covid-justified government oppression unless you think the hospitals and the patients themselves are in on it, and that this belief is so widespread among nazis that blowing up a hospital would rally people to your cause rather than hurt it.

or, maybe i'm giving way too much credit to a deranged nazi's thought processes

Reminder that to a certain subset of paranoid people, the government-ordered restrictions are a sign that the government is using a disease that's 'not even as bad as the seasonal flu' to crack down, consolidate power, and 'take away our freedoms/guns'. In this framing the hospital attack is also specifically to punish the local government for daring to order shelter-in-place orders or declare certain businesses non-essential, I think, and the threat that comes with it is 'if you order us around we will make things worse so back the gently caress off.'

At least that was my interpretation of his goals. It could also just be that mosques, synagogues, and churches are fairly empty right now, and there aren't any obvious massive clusters of people except at grocery stores and hospitals.

A lot of stochastic terrorism hinges on the idea that spectacular acts of violence will cause people to "wake up," realize the system is more vulnerable than they think, and then...dot dot dot...revolution? Didn't work during the Years of Lead.

i guess the real question i'm getting at is: if one of the main goals is to rally other extremists to escalate violence, is this guy's choice indicative of wider extremist thinking? in other words, would a significant chunk of these atomwaffen types celebrate someone blowing up a hospital of covid patients as equivalent to blowing up a synagogue?

It would go either one of two ways. Either they get recognition and feel good about causing more terrorism and fear or freak the gently caress out because the government now has less excuses when it comes to trying to round them up.

There's already concerns of neo-nazi bioterrorism. And with Trump it just means their manifesto either says Trump will rule the country and drive out the browns or that he works for Israel and must die too.
