fedman is an insanely stupid and aggressive individual so I imagine this is basically what it looks like. remember when someone’s a fed it doesn’t mean they got groomed like the winter soldier. it means they got picked up for some crime and then the government said “hey we won’t come down on you so hard but you gotta ease off the throttle in these specific areas and occasionally feed us a low level drug dealer or violent psycho.”

I mean the extend of his recruitment was probably the FBI telling him that he lied to them in a previous interview and now he has to wear a wire and tour the country meeting with all the local fascist groups or else he goes to prison for the rest of his life. We don't even know if he's still being an informant or if this is just the kind of thing he's drawn to once he's off the leash.

I feel like it's the kind of thing that might be a cliché movie plot — heroic freedom fighter / guerrilla leader is secretly in the pay of the evil government who wants to use his group as a scapegoat to consolidate the dictator's power, by leading an insurrection that they can then put down to great public applause

this is not the first time the leader of a white supremacist group has been a federal informant, like George Dorsett or Gary Thomas Rowe

I think he's a fed and I think that if one of the goals is to splinter into oblivion the Proud Boys this is a pretty great way to do it. All the groups that are actually successful while still pushing the degeneracy and white supremacy poo poo are full of middle aged dentists and boomer retirees and SBOs, the young fash seem to not prioritize those things very highly since it's never really resonated with them

that said I think it's equally likely this is Fedman just being so mad at McInnes about something incredibly stupid that he's lashing out at him by staging a dumbass coup
i'm not sure based fedman has any real authority or role in the proud boys. but most people who are going to hear about that are not going to understand the difference between him or any of these other jabronis. so if the government wants these guys off the streets because there's an incoming democratic administration, then maybe he's useful to divide / splinter / drag the proud boys in the media then that's one way to do it.

the guy who runs the loyal white knights offshoot of the klan is known to have been an fbi informant in 2012, has been arrested dozens of times since with no prison time, prime suspect in federal hate crimes, etc. he started his own group because he says the quiet parts so loud none of the other groups want anything to do with him. doesnt seem much different than chapman's current behavior

SJW computer touchers have been ripping the piss out of Parler's inability to run a website

https://twitter.com/lilsarg/status/1326288744081657861

if you speak computer toucher, you will lol

quote:

Part of Parler's commitment to your privacy and data security means that we build almost everything in-house, coded from scratch. We avoid using off-the-rack solutions or outsourcing to Silicon Valley as much as possible

What this means is that instead of using one of the several battle-hardened twitter clones out there (e.g. Identica or Mastodon) and then customising it, they're spending amazing amounts of money on writing their own from scratch, for no good reason.

Even Gab used the Mastodon code, without catching SJW cooties from it.

The "outsourcing" claim has the minor issue that Parler is hosted at AWS, rather than e.g. self-hosting, which would actually do what he's claiming (and be a slightly less inane excuse for not scaling).

Kubernetes? More like cuck-bernetes am i rite


Oh, and their lovely hand-rolled Twitter clone is all but unusable for their actual target audience. "Captcha should be called gotcha." Looks like they didn't bother testing on an iPad.

Honestly they seem to be pretty fully infiltrated already, and most of the doxx stuff about them is one of their friends betraying them by running off to a prominent antifascist twitter account and just handing poo poo over.

there's absolutely no chance we could outdo them on their own, and in fact the instinctive sense of solidarity felt by anyone left of center would marginally increase the cohesiveness of any right wing space they infiltrate

The whole "it's rape threats all the way down" thread title came from how all these alt right men will constantly threaten to rape women and when caught for some poo poo will immediately turn on all their friends and allies to avoid punishment. It's like a reverse terror cell where everyone knows all the crimes everyone else did and uses that as currency with the police/feds to try and avoid jail time.

Running into a fash circle in order to scream that anyone who isn't straight or white is degeneracy corrupting the western male is tempting, but they have created systems of social shields and deflections to stop that from happening. they want to use their tokens as a tool, everyone already knows the score (we throw them away when we take power) and the minorities lie to themselves (I'm one of the good ones, they'll accept me.). fash are already sharpening their knives, they don't need a grindstone but a black eye.

There's something so special about Alex Jones. Maybe it's the insanity, maybe it's the voice straight out of Wrestlemania, maybe it's the exuberance, maybe it's the whole package together. But listening to him for more than 5 minutes and fills me with confusion and incredulity. He's a parody of himself, an escapee from a fictional world, and these memes banish him back from whence he came.
