if a guy hires 30 actors to dress like FBI agents and carry prop files out of his home and someone reports it and then corrects it in 24 hours i would hardly consider that an own. its a developing story and they developed it

and like what's the own? it's not like wohl or burkman stepped out and said



and then dropped some amazing truth bomb that was the result of years of investigative effort into the liberal elites. the own here is that both wohl and burkman are so loving stupid that it's not surprising they'd eventually get raided for something

quote:

Patriot Front’s growth has been slow and steady, rising from less than a hundred members at the end of 2017 to almost 300 as of this writing. The contiguous 48 states are clustered into “networks”, each of which has a “Network Director” chosen by Rousseau. Members are pressured, increasingly it seems, to do more and more “activism” in the form of banner drops and postering/stickering/stenciling runs. The placement of promotional materials is carefully curated and catalogued online to show the world what dedicated, industrious “revolutionaries” their members are. They hope that more disaffected and alienated young men will be inspired by their aesthetic and purported militancy and want to join their ranks. Their immediate plan is to romanticize nationalism through lofty rhetoric and recruit online to create an internal hypermasculine culture that presents as empowerment, while exploiting disgruntlement with late stage capitalism and corporate oligarchy. Their long-term strategy is to gain social and cultural grassroots power with the goal of eventual political domination. They have strict criteria for membership, however — men only, 80+% white, 35 or younger, no military, etc. — and seem to have little interest in good relations with other US fascist groups, the vast majority of whom they despise and constantly ridicule.

[...]

We are publishing PDF files of Patriot Front member chats from a RocketChat server, accessible via a user login on their website. We are also releasing three internal documents from the organization: a brief legal guide, a guide to avoiding release of personal information, and one on how to place promotional materials. Patriot Front uses a separate Mumble app for their voice chat, records of which researchers are not releasing at this time. From the chat logs, which run from March 2019 through June 2020, readers quickly get a sense of the asinine level of discourse of Patriot Front’s young and mostly inexperienced fascists. Members try to impress one another (and especially Rousseau) with anti-Semitic conspiracies and regurgitated, pseudo-intellectual political positions while sharing pictures of their “activism.” Because there is little ideological cohesion or unity of thought and purpose, this quickly degenerates into displays of bigotry, petty gossiping and juvenile chat about memes.

Rousseau, in his role as PF’s director and ultimate authority, tries in vain to keep the group’s largely immature male membership under control and on task. Members are consistently reminded of the threat of doxxing: “treat #general as if the public is watching and knows our real identities”, warned New York member “Samuel”. In an attempt to impose order and tighten security, Rousseau barks rules at members and occasionally pleads with them to quiet their impulsive talk and neo-Nazi rhetoric.

The tone of these conversations shifted markedly in August of 2019. Leadership became more concerned with infiltration over the summer, no one new was added to the chat, and certain members were removed for failure to abide by the intensifying rules. These concerns were well-warranted. With this publication, fellow antifascists and the general public now gain a look into Patriot Front’s internal discussions and its membership is gradually unmasked.

quote:

While anti-fascists have noted a general uptick in Patriot Front activity in late 2019-early 2020, including a national show of force in Washington D.C., and highly performative Fourth of July actions in Chicago and San Francisco, their organization seems to be grappling with internal schism and ejections, such as former Network Director Chris Hood of Boston getting kicked out of the group and subsequently forming the rival NSC-131. There also appears to be stagnation from ineffective strategy and a general sense of treadmill activism. An anonymous report published on It’s Going Down detailed PF members on the verge of tears when police pulled them out of a box truck following “an unbelievable waste of time, and complete failure” in Chicago. Rousseau focuses on theatrical flash demonstrations to boost membership, rather than street confrontation like the Proud Boys or Boogaloo adherents, or even the GOP infiltration of the American Identity Movement and the Groypers.

Patriot Front’s red, white and blue branding was initially intended to make the organization attractive to other far-Right sympathizers, for example militia supporters. However, the organization has increasingly painted itself into a corner through its aloof attitude, dogmatic fascism, and its leader’s fear of repression. This renders Patriot Front another ineffectual fraternity that can’t stand up to real confrontation, whether by antifascists or police — none of which will serve them well in upcoming times. Ironically, the militia movement has mushroomed this year. Patriot Front may have gained some numbers from general trends of political polarization and far-Right radicalization during this same time period, but it is unclear whether the organization can harness these new recruits in a particular direction and keep them involved, or whether they will fall away.

While we do not minimize Patriot Front’s ability to do harm, dissatisfied members and splits from the organization represent an equally significant threat. Patriot Front provides a networking space for hardcore fascists, it reinforces the resentments and delusions of its members, and promotes a shared culture of hypermasculinity and militaristic posturing. However, the activities that Patriot Front tries to steer its members toward — incessant propaganda placement, physical training and occasional flash demonstrations — may not be enough for some members. Some may move on to other groups that are less committed to plausible deniability when it comes to violence. For example, former PF Network Director Chris Hood of Boston moved from Patriot Front to The Base, an accelerationist neo-Nazi terrorist group, and eventually set up his own “NSC-131” formation. Further, a common theme in Patriot Front chat is a hunger for vengeance against perceived enemies, even if this involves giving up one’s own life. The more people who join or pass through Patriot Front, the more likely these fantasies will be enacted. In a time of escalating violence against those advocating for racial justice and rising murderous attacks based on xenophobia, antisemitism, racism, and misogyny, the threat that Patriot Front poses must be taken seriously.

i think that groyper is just what pepe av basement nazis call themselves nowadays. so various far right groups are gonna have a bunch of groypers in them, but groypers aren't themselves any more of an organized group than "antifa"

i don't follow this stuff as much as i used to, but yeah groyper is a catch-all term, although it also has some relation to nazis crashing TPUSA events awhile ago. i think the idea is they want to be a republican party pressure group, and i think nick fuentes is tied up with american renaissance (or "amren"), which has a similar goal in mind, and is also connected to the countercurrents book publishing house.

whereas patriot front postures as a revolutionary, militant group. like project mayhem from fight club. they run around at night putting up stickers and spraypainting their logo on things to the dust brothers soundtrack. but as the torch network points out, they've also painted themselves into a corner. it's like they're engaged in a high-wire act of doing militant-like stuff but without wanting to face any real consequences for it. internally within the group, though, the fact that they would face consequences if they go any further just reinforces their delusional belief that they're more authentic and against the system than everybody else. but that's like, whoopee, congratulations: do you want a medal? this is the part where zizek pops in from the bottom corner of the screen and says "it's pure ideology."

i also read some of the chatlogs when the BLM protests emerged. well, they were taken totally by surprise. and like the boogaloos they have an accelerationist credo, but they didn't do anything other than a few occasions where they'd lurk around the periphery of protest marches to watch, which is creepy, but they have another delusional belief that people will naturally come their way, without them really having to do anything except put up stickers and put their propaganda out there. but like the analysis points out, the real swelling in activity has been among right-wing militia groups, which i think is due to their practice.
