Part of it is probably that the uk has a robust and long-lived left as compared to the us, where it’s just very dedicated silent generation survivors and people under 40 starting to develop something real after 50 years of white boomer babylon.

3%ers are constitutional fetishists, with a particular focus on the 2nd Amendment. When Obama was elected the Oath Keepers just weren't hardcore enough for them when it came to defending are constitooshun.

On the other hand, because they're so procedurally oriented and legalistic, they're terrified of breaking the law themselves. So it's really a self-cucking movement. They just show up armed to events but can't actually do anything, because just popping off rounds in public is all sorts of illegal.

it would rule if a whole bunch of them showed up to some rally and then just started eating bullets one by one

yeah I'm guessing its this

lgbt rights are a very generational, age-driven thing in general (according to a 2014 UK survey, 69% of 18-34 year olds strongly support gay marriage while 15% of people 65 and up do), trans issues are considered the most "extreme" and polarizing iteration in mainstream discourse, and america's old leftists are a really small group

american terfs are mostly old white lady democrats who don't care about class stuff

Also don't understimate the power of the individuals involved - Germaine Greer basically defined feminism (or at the very least was it's most prominent figure in the media) in the UK from the 1960s to the 1980s, almost by accident. That she has gone TERF, very loudly, holds an awful lot of sway with even non-radical feminists.

I think it's hilarious all his Neo-Nazi buddies haven't caught on to him being a fed. Probably because they're all feds as well.

I'd say the Patriot Prayer dick and Gavin McDingus are like, the only two non-feds hilariously.

This is true but because there's a lot of spaces in America where the in-person lgbt community is still heavily underground or nonexistent, TERF rhetoric seems to be skipping a generation as lesbian or bi teenaged girls get taught TERF poo poo as a matter of fact from older queer TERFs online. It's not an epidemic or anything but it's not going to go away any time soon.

They probably realized that the most efficient way to use Kessler was to just let him plan the next rally while getting screenshots of his facebook and reading his private messages.

Minutemen LARPers who want to violently overthrow the constitutional government and replace it with the articles of confederation or some other dumb poo poo.

The name is from some pop trivia factoid that "only 3% of the population of the colonies took up arms against Great Britain"

And like most pop factoids, it's completely wrong. The 3% figure comes from an incorrect assessment of Continental Army pension rolls at the end of the war, which only included those soldiers who qualified and also drew a pension (thus discounting those regulars who served but didn't draw a pension for whatever reason), left out the navy and marine corps entirely as well as a large number of state militias who weren't officially part of the Continental Army for various reasons, and also just wasn't an accurate count in the first place. "Only 3% of the population fought for Are Freedom" total is bullshit and should be rejected out of hand by anyone who knows anything at all about the War for Independence.

He just bragged on a podcast about how all the cops and guards at the jail were so friendly and wanted to know all about him and all his friends, and how he was so important that they wrote down everything he said and had hamburgers and milkshakes with him so he would keep telling stories about all his interesting friends.

He got mad and confused when the other nazis called him a snitch, as he believed he was turning friendly law enforcement men to his side.

It's important to keep in mind that before Cantwell became a Nazi he was a member of a libertarian group who harassed meter maids.

I wonder what the % would be if you included a couple hundred thousand French soldiers.
