Murdoch is an exact example of trying to cater to consumers. He saw market in the US for moralizing conservatives, and catered to it. He started off in Britain catering to the market that wanted bare breasts in the newspaper.


Look at what already exists. You got Richard Spencer trying to do northern European nazi town in Montana. In the PNW, it's a half Japanese, a gay Vietnamese and a Samoan enforcer doing "patriot prayer". The 3 percenters went to help Bundy at the refuge take over, but immediately split over differences. Oath Keepers split over who to side with in Ferguson. Who knows where to slot Ben Shapiro, Milo, or Gavin's grabass Proud Boys.

german units in normandy had a casualty rate similar to the eastern front (but on a smaller scale of course) mostly due to the overwhelming american artillery and air support and endless supply lines. they got hosed up

imo even if the chuds murked the governor we arent anywhere near a civil war getting kicked off by a non-state actor.

you definitely should be getting ready for war if you live in the usa, but there are months to years of deprivation, oppression and organization before the average former retail worker has a death squad to call their own.

Michigan has been a hotbed of antigovernment paramilitaries since just before the Oklahoma City Bombing. at one point the single most organized group boasted a membership of over 10,000, but its heavily fragmented since then. A lot of these armed antigovernment groups are very heavily infiltrated by federal law enforcement.

Other factors:
MI has a Democratic governor
MI is a very diverse but heavily segregated state

Yeah right wing mega richies use these groups as part of a strategy of tension, they come off the shelf whenever capitalism is in crisis, scare everyone, then go back on the shelf after a few attacks and arrests. The government infiltrators are there to keep them on the rails basically, and generate a few arrests every once in a while to seem busy. They almost certainly do the same thing (albeit less frequently) with certain left wing militant groups.

Remind me again the last time armed leftists kicked down a statehouses doors or blew up a federal building with like 100 children inside? And I guess it would be (((Soros))) taking them on and off the shelf?

Generally when a compound of leftists and their children burn to death it's cause the police force dropped a loving bomb ON them, burning down the whole neighborhood, not because their stockpiled incendiaries cooked off when non-lethal teargas grenades were used, just to cherry pick two examples.

Edit, whoops, sorry. I'd assumed, given the rightwingers blaming the FBI for the disaster, that the deaths of all those kids was at least an accident the FBI had some responsibility for, like a hot gas grenade hit some of their ANFO by accident. I wasn't aware the Davidians literally ordered the burning.

Anyway, America is a land of contrasts and Both Sides Do It.

Think you might have missed the point entirely.

But to address your point, if we're going all the way back to the MOVE bombing for examples, we know that the cops were intentionally inserting people like William O'Neal or turning people like Eldridge Cleaver in the Panthers to advocate adventurist tactics, and then using that as justification to arrest or assassinate leaders in the party. But there's plenty of lower profile cases of the FBI giving environmental and animal liberationist groups explosives in the 90s. With what we know of GLADIO and other 'stay behind' formations, it'd be naive to think they've never pushed people towards violence, given someone explosives or weapons and then just allowed the plot to go ahead.

If he does so however he's unable to deploy the national guard in a police keeping capacity on US soil just like he would be unable to do that with regular troops. Only the states are able to use the national guard in a police authority.
