      This is such a fedbait thing to say.

      If people are organising and doing direct action in their irl lives, they sure as hell aren’t going to be bragging about it online to impress a pearl-clutching lib who disapproves of direct action because “hate perpetuates hate”.

      Just because you aren’t personally doing anything about the threat of fascists and just because you find the American History X message to be poignant and compelling doesn’t mean that this applies universally to everyone else in the world. You’re just telling on yourself by adopting this attitude, at least to the people who are engaged in activism.

            Again, US problems you’re projecting onto the rest of the world. Not everything revolves around your country.

              organising

              US problems

              One: get your head out of your arse and maybe, just maybe figure out that your US-centric outlook might be quickly disproved by the fact that my language is a strong indication that I am not a yank.

              Two:

              Are you illiterate or do you just dismiss evidence out of hand because you assume everything comes from and is about the US reflexively because you are so US-centric in your outlook?

              This is where you should feel ashamed of yourself but I’m not convinced that you actually have the capacity for humility given the fact that you’re talking out your arse and you assume that you know enough about The Base and Atomwaffen that you don’t need to read the Wikipedia entries on them.
