so here's a big photo dump of patriot front stuff with commentary from YT. this is weird but i think it helps understand this group. you might remember this article about the young leader of this group, who led a split from vanguard america after charlottesville. https://twitter.com/digitaloverlor2/status/938241457420414976 https://twitter.com/remingtonsosa/status/933195256496926721 so to get a sense of how bizarre this is, this nazi group's leader was a high school newspaper editorial writer and cartoonist from dallas who graduated this year, and was nominated in 2017 at a high school newspaper competition, but the tweet announcing that seems to have been deleted. anyways, here are some of his cartoons. so, he's apparently taken his interest in right-wing politics and cartoons by not only leading this nazi group, but making propaganda for it. compare the design of this avatar with the muscled chad-looking dudes in his student cartoons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9Axl-p8BcE as they say, fascism is an aesthetic movement and this group is all about *~aesthetics~* and patriot front has been prolific on that (erm)... front he also has something of a cult of personality around him, with dudes in their 30s rushing into twitter threads to argue with rousseau's high school classmates after they said he had a "weird vibe" and was "low key creepy af" https://twitter.com/Nation_Calling/status/936822687061573634 https://twitter.com/Nation_Calling/status/936829302850519040 although i wouldn't be surprised if he was the one behind that account. anyways, this group has not slowed down; in fact, they've grown. he led a group to gainesville, florida for a richard spencer speech. here he is with one of the fears brothers who was arrested after his group shot at anti-fascist protesters. besides postering, their activities have included martial arts sessions, hiking, group workouts, staging a demo outside an anarchist bookfair in houston and a left-wing bookstore in austin, and a quick midnight tiki-torch march on the UT-Austin campus: the last photo is from a postering mission in deep ellum, dallas. i think thomas is in the one in the middle though their faces are covered. (those blue polo shirts w/ red & white stripes on the bicep are actually from a chinese company. available on amazon.) even a brief attempt at relief work in houston after the hurricane: their behavior has escalated to more direct and specific threats, though, by most recently putting up flyers targeting a student at texas state university in san marcos after that student wrote a newspaper column the group didn't like. https://twitter.com/FrontPatriot/status/937802110657327105 or maybe, a column that thomas didn't like. the former student newspaper columnist and cartoonist-turned-would-be nazi dictator would find a left-wing student newspaper columnist a natural target, i suppose.

Agean90 posted:the true trad wife is a church girl who's lowkey freaky but they get too pissy at religion to go to church. even when what they want exists they gently caress it up for themselves lol That's the hilarious thing. Literally everything they want exists among hardline mormons in Utah. Which have a huge gender imbalance toward women already so just convert already.

"This eagle chose communism over fascism, and so should you!" What's with the wierd obsession with victory? In Oklahoma, that is used as a signifier of being evangelical, and seems kind of out of place in their vocabulary.

My guess is the kid is a legit sociopath, and that of course impressed a bunch of people for whom malice is a feature, not a bug. His classmates probably don't like him for the same reasons. You might find some cut up/tortured/mangled puppy corpse or whatever in his backyard if you dug around, because that's the sort of thing really messed up people do.
