The best part was Ben Shapiro giving a speech admonishing fellow conservatives for embracing Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens, then the rest of the speakers tearing him down. The GOP is going mask-off antisemitic fast.
Meanwhile, the ADL is getting Mamdani staffers fired for tweets they made as teens, but ask them about Fuentes and they’re like “Who is Nick Fuh… Foontis?”
Tucker Carlson is good old boy, old school racist conservative that, yes, involves antisemitism.
There’s a play that allows space for fringe folks until enough power is achieved and they are not needed any more. These guys have achieved that power, as such, fringe folks better toe the fucking line or they’re out.
Take MTG. She was give a role, as a woman in MAGA, which has a very clear agenda to tear down women’s lib in both the financial and reproductive independence gained in the last 50 years, such as it is (was). As soon as she stated she wanted to elevate her role from the rabble of the house to the more established, clubbish senate, she was told no. She had her allowed place and should stay in it. She talked back. She and her kids were then threatened. Now, she’s out.
Enter Ben, their token Jewish speaker, complete with yamika.
Let’s be real, these players are propped up as plausible deniability regarding the white male agenda. In addition to the plethora of blonde women with tiny crosses to show off what ideal Republican women should look like.
I imagine for Ben and Marge, the sense of it is like being in the room with a mean, damaged pitbull that inexplicably lets them pet him and doesn’t bite them, making them think they’re special, better, elevated, maybe even loved by this animal. Until it does bite them.
American Conservative Jews supporting the American Christo-Fascists is simultaneously the most sad, tragic and yet easily predictable, thus absolutely hillarious, case of leopards ate my face I’ll ever see in my lifetime.
Edit: FAFO supreme.
I’m constantly reminded there was a whole division of Jewish Waffen SS.
After the shooting in Sydney last week, the local Jewish community booed the PM Anthony Albanese and cheered for the leader of the opposition, Sussan Ley
The opposition have several religious nutters and people associated with the far-right. They’d happily cheer for someone murdering Jews, but the idiots love them because the current government recognises Palestine
It’s revolting
ADL is just a bunch of Nazis so that checks out.
Grifter meets true believer moment.
No but you should absolutely buy a gun and find a leftist militia.
The socialist rifle association isn’t a militia but might be worth looking into
They’re a good group but they have a rep of being very (only?) beginner focused and extremely avoidant of anything that would get them on anyone’s radar. MISRA might be a mild exception but they’re more ideologically focused in a way many would find annoying. At the moment you won’t really find many legit leftist militias because both the liberals and the right have made it their mission to harass any such org to the greatest extent of their imagination, all while fostering RWNJ militias.
Absolutely that’s a great one.
For anyone looking to actually counter this fascist uprising, I’d recommend finding something and specializing in it. At this stage, selecting the class of “random barely trained person with crappy AR” is probably not the most useful skill tree to be in.
Things that are painfully under explored in descending order of importance and also ascending order of difficulty:
- Logistics and organizing: get time with Food Not Bombs or similar, network at anarchist bookstores, network at targeted protests (usually ICE facilities), build a vetted network of like minded people IRL.
- Counter surveillance: watch court cases, figure out what types of evidence are being presented, learn how to do FOIA requests and the tricks for getting them to be accepted (hide/obfuscate your intent). Are the cops leaning hard on any new technologies? How effective are they at getting convictions?
- SIGINT: buy a $40 RTL-SDR, maybe get a ham license, learn where the bands are and what people are doing on them. If you can code, try automating signal detection, the APIs are straight forward. Learn how to identify police radio transmissions and decode them (hint: unit IDs are not encrypted). Learn how to detect chuds on baofengs. Skill up to systems that can transmit like the ADALM-Pluto or Pluto+ (~$250) and learn to…uh…leverage that capability in creative ways.
- Drone ISR: learn how to build a drone that’s not broadcasting its ID or operator location to the cops unlike DJI. Learn how to encrypt the command and telemetry links (hint: PrivacyLRS). Learn how to downlink encrypted video (hint: OpenHD)
- Long range precision: if you’re already into guns and have access to long distance ranges, learn to shoot at 600m+ beyond the effective range of most rifles. Learn to reload precision rounds correctly. Learn how police perform urban sniper operations (if you see anything about buying replacement window screen material you’re on the right track). Learn how to build camouflage systems (similarly, you’re in the right place if you’re learning to sew).

Well said, there are desperately needed activities and roles at all levels of time commitment and monetary investment.
Mine would be electronics and drones. I have a room full of sensors that could be used as improvised triggers and surveillance peices that I’m well aware of how to wire up and use. My thing has always been conventional weaponry should be seen as secondary in an insurgency type situation.
There is merit in tech knowledge if you’re creative in adapting that knowledge.
I like his stuff but all of his examples are kinda incoherent. If you’re going to be doing anything in the upper tiers with that kind of gear it’s probably for some sort of purposeful action or to defend some position. If you’re just wandering around at the grocery store in a PC you’re needlessly going to attract attention. If everyone is panicking and going crazy you should be acting like the most average boring person in the world until you have an opening to help fix things.
Right Meow!
Let me know what you figure out.
My biggest issue is a lot of these groups are right leaning on my area.

So how is this not inciting violence?
