Before Obama was elected President, I think there might have been a case that the Venn diagram was broadly accurate, at least if you only consider a group to be racist if the animating principle of the group is some variety of white nationalism and not merely that most to all members of the group are themselves racist. Like the anti-government militia that built themselves a compound in Idaho to prepare for the inevitable breakdown of society did so because of a fear of the government, which up to then was run by white men, and that society itself was on the brink of collapse, not from some racial uprising but because the antichrist was gonna get elected President and then BOOM it's the End Times. Now, if you went out and interviewed each member of that group, their views on race would likely range from "vehemently racist" to "who gives a poo poo, the world's about to end, but if a black guy showed up mid-Apocalypse, we'd tell him to get lost, but maybe not if he's white, unless it's Bob from church, he's a good guy", but that racism wasn't what is animating the group to do what they're doing.

It's partly a product of the pre-internet days when these groups weren't talking with each other all day every day online and some because the idea of a President who isn't a white man was laughable to them even up through much of GWB's time in office. Now? Yeah, most of them are if not explicitly white separatist, white nationalist, fascist, etc., then crypto-white separatist, crypto-white nationalist, crypto-Nazi, etc. and that diagram may as well be white supremacists around just about everything but for a few people who are insisting that no, it really is about ethics in 19th century war memorial setup and removal and who actually believe that.

Militias / "Patriot" groups and neo-Nazis don't necessarily get along:

By the way, that's William Fears, a Houston-area neo-Nazi who also showed up at Charlottesville here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P54sP0Nlngg&t=282s



He's got a criminal record involving a 2009 kidnapping of an 18-year-old girl which he "wounded" several times. I've seen some neo-Nazis online say they should adopt his flag since it's more "American" looking. Meant to look kinda Texan too because of the lone star -- mixed with the Schwarze Sonne. So I wouldn't be surprised to see that flag pop up more.

I'd edit to respond, but that's a good post entirely on its own and merits a separate response, and yeah there's an awful lot of racist, white supremacist, white nationalist idiots who have a reflexive hatred of anything fashy.

As I understand, it's a combination of WW2 vets coming back to the South after the war causing a clash between Nazi's straight up wanting to exterminate anyone and everyone not white and the existing white supremacists seeing other races as being useful, so long as they accept that they're on a lower rung of the societal ladder, to say nothing of the foreign origin of Naziism clashing with home-grown white supremacism.

the reason we haven't had mass murder yet is the same reason mass outbreaks of violence remain unlikely, to wit, the heavily armed types are comfortable petit bourgeoisie not ready to deal with either the immediate or the long term consequences of pulling the trigger

if the bottom falls out of the economy then you're gonna see some poo poo

until then it's continued stochastic terrorism via isolated, antisocial, mostly mentally ill young men

While an ideological mix, the militias seem generally defensive oriented. The Malheur occupation seemed pretty atypical and the militias by and large are more "get off my land" types. The conflict over the Bundy Ranch involved whether the federal government had authority over public land in Nevada. The caveat here is you get the mix between militias, neo-Nazis and SovCits.

Still different I think from the neo-Nazi groups which want to wage aggressive war. I believe the militias when they say they want to act as "peacekeepers" but they're woefully unprepared to do it and it comes across as cosplaying.
They're 'defensive' in the same way that the reactionary groups are 'defensive' - they view themselves as defenders of society, even when they're very obviously destabilizing society, because they goal is to uphold institutions of racial supremacism, exploitation and misogyny, not protect society and the people in it. Even minor reforms, that in the broad scheme of things changes very little, are all viewed as existential threats, to be 'defended' against.

Sure. If there was some crackup or a left-wing revolution, these militias would turn into death squads along with the police. They're counter-revolutionaries. Nazis are revolutionaries.

The point is that the whole 'defensive' poo poo is nothing but a smokescreen, a convenient lie that they may or may not buy into themselves. They're not 'defensive' in any meaningful sense of the term, you're just buying into their marketing.

Well I'll be willing to take another gander at it. I think it's a big crapshoot. Remember the Hutaree militia which seemed to be more "offensive" but ended up getting reported to the FBI by another militia.

I consider the Nazis to be would-be revolutionaries -- a revolution from the right. This comes down to how we define fascism but I don't share the Marxist analysis of fascism as the bullyboy of finance capitalism. I believe it's a distinct ideology characterized by violent, revolutionary, palingenetic ultra-nationalism. I'm in the Roger Griffin school of fascist studies. But it's kind of a blah blah academic distinction and not that important.
