Ya or the Michigan governor kidnapping plot where the FBI agents planted themselves in a group of 4 bored whiteys and just kept suggesting they do illegal poo poo until the targets humored them to shut them up

Never came close to actually doing anything but the local SAC got to pretend he saved lives when a guy who wasn't listening went "huh? ya sure"

it is the reason the more "mainstream" right-wing freaks are obsessed with the '92 LA riots and Rhodesia and waco lately

they just want to terrorize black people and other minorities in hope of spurring more violence against minorities. even the republican party is trying to turn "terrorist" as a badge of pride after january 6th.

Blowing things up is not terrorism per se. 9-11 was terrorism because it was designed to make people scared it could happen again, or a different type of attack by similar actors could take place. McVeigh on the other hand afaik saw himself as an insurgent performing a revenge attack on the government. These are different ideas but because America has spent the past two decades labeling people protecting their homeland from invaders as terrorists, hamburger brained individuals cannot tell the difference.

The usual definition of terrorism is using violence or the threat of violence to achieve political ends. If a nazi's goal in shooting up a substation is causing a race war then that nazi is doing terrorism because their end is white supremacy/genocide and their means is violence.
McVeigh was a nazi that wanted the white majority to rise up and kill all the non-whites. He was a terrorist and so were his fbi handlers. He went to elohim city lol, that's a fed/nazi compound

To qualify as terrorism there must an intent to cause fear. It's the use of terror as a political tool. The threat of violence towards political ends is something inherent in a state.

Sometimes sure, but the fear is the goal not the method. Sometimes genocide is just about the victims not being around any more.

I don't think so. Their idea of how a race war starts is based on their attacks causing their victims to lash out in fear. The nazis want their victims to be scared because they think that would make them feel powerful but they also want their victims to react in fear because they imagine that's how the battle lines get drawn. Their idea is that they attack blacks, blacks react, and then that reaction gets the rest of the whites on their side. So fear is definitely one of their means. They want their victims scared and they want the rest of the whites scared.

Do you have some evidence to support this? It makes sense but I am unaware of any.
Atomwaffen specifically take their ideology from James Mason, especially his newsletter Siege. It's right wing accelerationist and holds that the path to the race war requires the overthrow of the government first. It seeks to sow chaos as a means to this goal. Mason supported Black and communist violence because they were attacks on the state.
I found this article interesting, perhaps you will too.

It's ok to compare things. It's even ok to point out similarities two things share when one of those things is good and the other bad. In this case I was making it clear that I do not consider the perpetrator being a neo-nazi or white supremacist a defining quality in whether or not something counts as terrorism. For instance I do not consider your posts to be terrorism despite your hamburger brains.

That article calls mason a terrorist in the first paragraph. And then there are all the references to the turner diaries which was written by mason's mentor and explicitly describes using terrorism to overthrow the us government and have a nazi revolution and a race war. and charles manson, who said he was trying to do a false flag black power killing to initiate a race war

And there's this:

quote:

To some Nazis, the setbacks they experienced – the rally itself was not allowed to even start, and afterward there was a subsequent media backlash and widespread online deplatforming – were all a vindication of Mason’s thesis: The strategy of holding legal rallies in public would always end in failure. Everything was stacked against white supremacists, they reasoned, and there was no way to succeed if they acted within the law. The only thing to do was either to drop out of society altogether or go underground and start planning terrorist attacks. After Charlottesville, #ReadSiege soared in popularity as a hashtag on social media.

So that article repeatedly refers to mason as a terrorist and cites several of his influences, who are also white supremacist terrorists. Also it mentions how mcveigh was inspired by the turner diaries. It goes on to describe how atomwaffen is based on his horseshit. I'm not sure how this is supposed to show that his nazi group is not terroristic

I guess my source for calling nazis terrorists is basically that the nazis all say "we are terrorists." They're not clever about it or anything. Just a bunch of dipshits with double digit iqs regurgitating the turner diaries, which describes using fear to get the whites to support genocide.

And he only supports other groups attacking the state because he thinks it will galvanize the whites through fear.

That was an interesting article
I wouldn't recommend reading the turner diaries though

Atomwaffen is a front for a right-wing satanist cult called the Order of Nine Angles. The upper echelons of the organization don't actually believe in racism, they just use racism as a means to spread evil and despair throughout the world.
