We've lost something in our polarity. Used to be you could be a liberal Republican with bad ideas about taxation or a conservative Democrat who championed social welfare. Now? You're a good guy or a bad guy and we'll figure out which is which depending on what our social media signals tell us to think. You don't hang out in Sand Point unless you're okay with your friends advocating for the dominion of the white race. Thaaaaaat's racist. But legal protections apply to racists, too or else the whole system collapses. Frontline did a profile on Waco. It's pretty clear that the ATF were a bunch of cowboy vigilantes looking to crack skulls and that they celebrated the stereotypes the prepper community (at the time) vilified. They had a massive cultural problem that manifested itself as dead kids and thank fucking god they learned a thing or two by the time of the Bundy ranch.
I think it was a Frontline doc I watched on Netflix. I'm pretty uncomfortable with the ZOG thing. The Bundy family though? It's not like I can't be sympathetic to right wingers' complaints. Land rights in the west is a surprisingly complex issue. They're also mad about nuclear fallout. One of them is even woke on immigration. I was way more surprised to be sympathetic to Yall Qaeda. Yeah, killing people is obviously bad. Taking control of a ranger station or whatever? WTF? learns some things OK Weird flex but you've got some valid points. Wasn't expecting to make that concession when it was playing out https://longreads.com/2018/05/15/bundyville-chapter-one-a-war-in-the-desert/
