If the Orangemen already controlled the government of Toronto and stuff, what was the point of the KKK? Seems like one had official sanction and everything.

Same reason they have paramilitaries in the north of Ireland despite Orangemen controlling having controlled the government/police and having the backing of the UK.
It's to spread terror and inflict violence on Catholics while maintaining respectable distance from the government. Similar to the settlers in Israel who operate outside the law while being backed up by the military where necessary.

Canada’s ability to rebrand as the polite, progressive, multicultural society is pretty impressive considering

the whole structure of the klan is goofy as poo poo. i can't even steal these titles for my d&d campaign cause it would make me racist

quote:

In the original prescript, its chief officer was the Grand Cyclops, who appointed two Nighthawks, a Grand Turk, a Grand Sentinel, Grand Magi and a Grand Ensign in addition to his Grand Scribe.[13] The Grand Cyclops, Grand Exchequer, Grand Magi (second officer) and Grand Monk (third officer) were elected by the body politic of the dens, identified as Ghouls.
....
A system of "judiciary" organs was created in each prescript. In the first the judiciary was divided into a Grand Council of Yahoos, to try officers of the Klan, and a Grand Council of Centaurs to try regular Ghouls. In Art. IV Sec. 4, the Grand Giant is charged with conducting the Council of Yahoo, but Art. VI Sec. 2 states that the Council will be composed of officers of the equivalent rank as the accused and presided over by an officer of the next higher rank. A trial of the Grand Wizard would be held by a meeting of all the Grand Dragons, the most senior Grand Dragon presiding[23] It is unclear if these tribunals were ever functional.[24]
...
Officials
There was a nearly identical set of subordinate officers at each level:[41]

Supreme Grand Wizard – president
Klaliff – vice president (from bailiff)
Klokard – lecturer (from Kloran and kard, meaning "teacher")
Kludd – chaplain (from Culdee)[42]
Kligrapp – secretary (from chirographer)
Klabee – treasurer (supposedly derived from kaba, "to keep", and kees, an Egyptian coin)
Kladd – "conductor", in charge of initiating new members
Klarogo – inner guard, sergeant-at-arms (from caveo and "interrogate")
Klexter – outer guard (from ken and "external")[43]
Nighthawks – couriers

I always wondered how the Superman comics outing the KKK inner secrets killed off it's popularity as a group, and seeing the structure and names they made up for different roles it now totally makes sense. Goofy krackers.

does he murder people with memes? or is he like putting people in jail for posting illegal memes? why isn't he going after elon for crimes against memes?

He's shooting your meme dead with facts and logic when it assaulted his feelings and made boomers feel worried they'd have no aver fit their kids.

The Black Legion (specifically the USA white supremacist anti-catholic anti-slavic organization named that way. Most of these qualifiers are necessary because there's a lot of Black Legions out there) is somehow even weirder. It's a bunch of dudes who split off from the KKK due to being too weird even for them. Imagine KKK but wearing black robes and pirate hats.

In the sense that it's easily identifiable and conceals the wearers, yes. But intimidation ultimately comes through having more force than those they are trying to intimidate, and implicit backing of the state that let them get away with that poo poo.



A few years ago, there was a protest in Belgrade, I'll spare you the details of the local politics, but the tl;dr of it was that there were two separate protests within a protest, one by liberals due to some politician being physically attacked (Enough with bloodied shirts!), and one by a mix of socialists due to the skyrocketing rate of workplace deaths among construction workers (Enough with bloodied... work shirts? gets lost in translation a bit). Both were against the government, but there wasn't much love shared between them. The liberals had their friendly neighborhood protectors, THE WHITE PHANTOMS, goony-rear end dudes wearing white balaclavas, who went around accusing socialists of being unpatriotic, trying to physically push them out, etc. Unfortunately for THE WHITE PHANTOMS, a postal union joined the socialist protest in solidarity, and the postmen, well, didn't even have to go postal on their asses, they just appeared behind them like a mass version of that undertaker meme, and made them poo poo their pants and run.

It was loving hilarious, and the saddest thing is that to have seen it, you either had to be there or to have seen someone's lovely phone recording of the incident, it was never broadcasted anywhere. THE WHITE PHANTOMS never appeared again.
