Thomamelas posted:As a tactic you usually use it to bring awareness. In this case that doesn't work because we all know they are giant assholes. But for them, I assume it's about encouraging people to not vote. It fulfills the same role as the old Klan parades used to have. Act as a reminder that they exist as a barely veiled threat, and to encourage each other. Which reminds me of this slight footnote in American History. InRangeTV did a video on it too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hayes_Pond

Thomamelas posted:The Battle of Hayes Pond is pretty great. But there is some context missing from that article that I suspect this thread might enjoy. There was a reason the Klan went after the Lumbee tribe. The Klan in NC had a bit of a set back in 1957. Robert F. Williams and Dr. Albert Perry joined their local chapter of the NAACP. The pair made a push to integrate the local pools, which they knew would get the Klan worked up. Knowing this, they put together a group of 50 or so Black veterans and reached out to the NRA to get a local chapter formed. They left out the black bit and the NRA sent them a bunch of mil-surp to promote target shooting. The local Klan had a meeting, then a parade to get themselves worked up as they drove to Dr. Perry's house to burn it down. They did the usual make a lot of noise, have torches, shoot guns in the air poo poo. They were completely surprised to find the Black Armed Guard waiting for them. From prepared positions with sandbags and the works. The Black Armed Guard aimed low, but they aimed low repeatedly and with a generous use of ammo. I am sure it will be no shock that the Klan had a police escort. The Klan displayed the same lack of fortitude as they would at Hayes Pond. And Monroe banned the Klan. Also the pool was integrated. Goddamn that all owns so much, well barring part of the last paragraph, thank you so much for the info dump.

I think it goes without saying it’s a marriage of foreign enemies and trash living here, but that’s a very valid point to bring up so touché*. Also God bless you for wanting to be the dude doing dick analytic work. There’s nothing no more horrendous than the white middle-aged male nude selfie in front of a mirror. The funny thing is my user name comes from some woman to comment right before the 2016 election. I changed it before the polls were closed and figured it would be a very niche joke within the next few weeks....sigh. * in my defense my son decided to wake up at 6:45 today and wanted me to join him to watch him play Lego City Undercover... so reasoning and arguments from me may improve as the day goes on… Not guaranteed mind you.

I wasn’t there for that but watched when it started at 11am and on the dot he was shaking hands, smiling, and chatting away. It was cool to see him respecting his fans. Yeah, I’ve never heard a bad thing about him. Even though he’s pretty religious/conservative*, he always framed it as being about love vs putting someone down. Finding out he was a super CHUD would have really sucked. *Ironically was the DP for REMs losing my religion video. Nick Soapdish posted:Old heads will remember Alton Brown having a meltdown on twitter in early 10s which is why when he return later he'd just post pictures of post-it notes of his responses.
