Bored As gently caress posted:I totally agree with you - the expansion and proliferation of right wing militias and/or white supremacist groups during the Obama years was unprecedented, and it's only continued after Trump got in office. I'm not trying to show my rear end here but i was a different man nearly 10 years ago. I was isolated, had years of trauma and abuse, unmanaged ADHD ruining my life. But I did have a hobby I genuinely enjoyed and was helping me professionally; shooting! And for a short dark while, the only social circle i had for a while was those -chan based IRC chat rooms. They're really all over the place; gay, black, trans, etc. but a lot of bigoted poo poo gets internalized; "I can't be a fascist, my boyfriends an anarchist!" is another weird argument I had with one such member. I remember buying food for two of those guys because they didn't have jobs and were living out of their cars and poo poo. So while bellingcat's assessment is very accurate, I feel that it still glosses over how vulnerable these people actually are to having their anxieties played off of by internet predators.

And for a short dark while, the only social circle i had for a while was those -chan based IRC chat rooms. Whatever you went through, I'm really sorry you endured it. I hope you're doing better now. Honestly, I have to admit something similar. Probably close to 15-20 (who can remember?) years ago, I used to meet up with a bunch of guys I met at the range, some of who ended up being friends of friends. Didn't have a huge group of friends, and none of my other friends were into guns, so I was really happy to meet some new people. We'd go to the range and competitions about once a month. We'd travel and take firearms classes together, go to MG shoots, etc. I really fell into the group. I loved the competitions, classes, etc but most of all I loved the camaraderie. They introduced me to Instagram, and almost all of them leaned very libertarian. Some were what I'd now call CHUDS, but things werent as polarized then, you know? They introduced me to Appleseed, which was very founding father worshiping, but very history (and not current politics) and marksmanship oriented. I loved it. At the time I considered myself a left leaning liberal (I now consider myself a leftist). So we'd sometimes have political arguments, but we'd all be friends afterwards. Then Obama got elected, and a few of these people I once thought were good and decent (even if they had wildly different views in politics) , bought into all the conspiracy theory bullshit. Some even started posting proto boogaloo bullshit, or began posting III% and Oathkeeper poo poo. I almost bought into it for a second, until I read up on the groups. Like, in theory, yes, I agree with the Oathkeepers' beliefs that cops and military members should not follow unconstitutional or illegal orders. Yeah, pretty good idea. However, a lot of these people were itching for a fight, or at least they were behind a keyboard. A lot of the Oathkeeper poo poo I saw was far right extremism, racism, and bigotry. And for all their talk about loving small government, I found all of it so hypocritical, when some of them had no problems with the Patriot Act or OIF, free speech zones, etc, yet once a black man became POTUS, "oh god the tyranny." Someone not as politically or historically active/aware might have bought into that poo poo. Someone bigoted or racist might have been swept into the movement, too. So I fell out of touch with those friends because I couldn't associate with people who supported the kind of far right extremist ideas a lot of III% people and Oathkeepers were posting. Lost quite a few friends because of that. I really wish the SRA was a thing back then, because that would've been right up my alley.

This isn't just a thing in the US, though. India apparently just announced that they expect 500k cases soon enough so maybe they were lying, too, after all.

Fallom posted:Some interesting thoughts but the discussion doesn't attempt to explain "why the virus is spreading so unevenly", it just leaves that topic off with this: TL;DR they credited the following -As soon as China announced outbreak they got a committee together to start planning, even before WHO mentioned anything -They quarantined people based on the risk of infection rather than whether they were displaying symptoms -All testing was free and subsidized by the government -Public health experts and epidemiologists led the execution -Decentralized system meant they could bring care to the individuals, and wouldn't need to bring them to a provincial facility unless they needed urgent care. Is there a possibility any numbers are swept beneath the carpet? Sure, but while I'm not a doctor and no more qualified than any of the dipshits giving their two cents a few months ago, this does seem like a pretty reasonable approach to me!

This is that Karl Manke guy who got his barber license revoked last month for defying stay-at-home orders and had his "Operation Haircut". There is a rally planned for tonight to "burn all of the taxpayer funded applications, illegally sent to us from SOS Benson," but I couldn't find any reference to a dumpster, sadly ... The event will feature music by “Old Dudes ROCK.”

The thing is, they state they're "acquiring additional ballots" for the dumpster ceremony. They're probably driving around to people's houses and jacking ballots out of their mailboxes. Highly illegal btw to do that. https://twitter.com/Moreskyplease/status/1271484921010368513?s=20

Bell_ posted:I was reading on Economic Times the other day that Vietnam claimed zero deaths with a population of nearly 100 million bordering China Of course it's possible but from all accounts I've seen, they have handled it much better. My buddy has been there with his wife's family for the last 6 months or so and is reluctant to return to the US at this point. It's still a communist government though so there are some tradeoffs. Asian governments generally take pandemics a little more seriously than the west since they have encountered them more recently.

CHP ruled a different roadside hanging a suicide in January, as well. The Sacramento hanging victim was dating a woman who was killed earlier. Sadly, and not less horrifying, that it may have been a murder/suicide. The Palmdale incident is still very suspect.

A male, armed with a gun is in the intersection of 11th and Pine ST. CS gas has been authorized. In the interest of public and life safety, leave the area now. The male, armed with a gun, was the rear end in a top hat that attacked the crowd several hours earlier and was being held in the precinct
