#far right terrorism

Honestly, my respect for the BBC continues to take a nose-dive. If I had a penny for every false equivalence made by hack reporters there, I'd be a millionaire.

Comparing the "far-right" and "far-left" is comparing a dumpy wolf with blood on its mouth to a kitten. The far-right, fuelled by misinformation and immoral, self-interest billionaires and cult leaders, are an astronomical threat to democracy, to the point of violently trying to overthrow it or at least weaken democratic institutions in real-time so they can in the future. The fact the BBC even writes a sentence like this shows how unobjective they are.

And the few trans people that identify as and surround themselves with nazis and right wingers, typically are predators, and don't care about that because that is how their own "friends" see them as. And of course, they believe throwing everyone else to the Leopards to assure their own safety.

see the THING about goodsir and stanley is that goodsir may be way less inclined to act cruelly but he has a far greater capacity for it.

what is happening in the UK with the far right protests is absolutely terrifying. all from misinformation which has fuelled an ongoing racist agenda

but on a brighter note people are coming together to fight back. peacefully.

FOUND! Apparently it was a 1943 propaganda poster from the Nazi sympathizing Nederlandsche Arbeidsfront. This is the image that was used by far-right terrorists on flyers at the University of Maryland campus in 2016.

DO YOU KNOW THE SOURCE OF THESE IMAGES?????

A friend of mine is doing academic research on symbolism in Neo-Nazi/far right groups, and sees these come up a lot on profiles and memes. However he has been unable to find their original source.

We both suspect they were pulled from either Nazi or Soviet propaganda from the 1930s (although I also think the male image has a Leyendecker vibe). They might be from the same source, or from two different ones. We just can't find 'em!

If you can identify the poster/mural/original source of these, please DM me and let me know.

It's amazing how you find morally bankrupt enablers that will try to justify the far right riots from the safety of their computer chair and TV set. They sit on their arse watching the far right fascists yell racist slurs and death threats at brown people, set fire to buildings like shops and cafés, watch brown people all over the country get beaten up just because of their skin colour, far right thugs mutilate a POC boy's face, a child too, stab an Asian man, and even attempt mass murder by locking doors and setting fire to a hotel of people while chanting about killing people, and then the far right enablers say like "Oh, I don't agree with the rioters' violent methods, but really the rioters are the real victims, they've been pushed to the brink. It was inevitable with all this immigration they would be. And don't they kinda have a point? The government should have listened to their demands (and ignored every other citizen that disagrees with the far right)."

Reminds me of how people made sympathetic, bad faith excuses for Hitler and his Nazis back in the day, ascribing some "greater good" behind the violence and that the Nazis were really 'victims' of the innocent people they were beating the shit out of and killing. The Nazis would use the momentum and benefit of the doubt from this circular logic to construct death camps.

What is especially striking about these far right riots is when black and brown people, who are part of a demographic that have just been assaulted, smeared and threatened by the far right rioters, had their businesses, livelihoods and streets smashed up and burned, even had members of their community been stabbed, just express anger like normal humans to the point some 'inelegantly' call for the rioters' heads, the right-wing fascist lite and the privileged folk of society are like "How dare these woke lot say mean comments about the rioters! How could anyone be so cruel to not see their plight? Who's to say they even are far right or wrong?"

Like, guys, the rioters set fire to people's shops, streets and brutally beat them up because of just their religion and/or skin colour. You've ever had multiple fists slamming on you with no reprieve, kicks wailing on you even when you're on the ground? Believe it or not, brown people feel pain, especially when their bones are breaking. If it happened to you or your family or community, you'd be calling for the perpetrators' heads however 'rough' and 'uncivilised' it sounds. It's amazing how POC people aren't allowed to have human reactions, we always need to react to pain with grace like we're Jesus otherwise we're attacked again. I am sick of prejudice and racist people setting impossible expectations for all brown people as if they're the authority and delighting when individuals "fail" as if it's some kind of 'proof'.

Here's a story that may be overlooked because of the terrorist incident in New Orleans and the exploding Tesla in Las Vegas.

A MAGA nut named Brad Spafford has been arrested for stockpiling a large cache homemade explosives at his garage near Norfolk, Virginia.

Federal agents in the US found one of the largest stockpiles of homemade explosives they have ever seized when they arrested a Virginia man on a firearms charge last month, according to a court filing by federal prosecutors. Investigators seized more than 150 pipe bombs and other homemade devices when they searched the home of Brad Spafford north-west of Norfolk in December, the prosecutors said in a motion filed on Monday. The prosecutors wrote that this is believed to be “the largest seizure by number of finished explosive devices in FBI history”.

FYI: the FBI dates back almost a century. So that covers a lot of history.

Most of the bombs were found in a detached garage at the home in Isle, along with tools and bomb-making materials including fuses and pieces of plastic pipe, according to court documents. The prosecutors also wrote: “Several additional apparent pipe bombs were found in a backpack in the home’s bedroom, completely unsecured,” in the home he shares with his wife and two young children. Spafford, 36, was charged with possession of a firearm in violation of the National Firearms Act. Law enforcement officers allege he owned an unregistered short barrel rifle. Prosecutors said that he faces “numerous additional potential charges” related to the explosives.

The FBI was tipped off about Spafford by a concerned citizen.

The informant, a friend, told authorities Spafford had disfigured his hand in 2021 while working on homemade explosives. Prosecutors said he only has two fingers on his right hand. The informant told authorities that Spafford was using pictures of the president, an apparent reference to Joe Biden, for target practice and that “he believed political assassinations should be brought back”, prosecutors wrote. Numerous law enforcement officers and bomb technicians searched the property on 17 December. The agents located the rifle and the explosive devices, some of which had been hand-labeled as “lethal” and some of which were loaded into a wearable vest, court documents state. Technicians detonated most of the devices on site because they were deemed unsafe to transport, though several were kept for analysis.

Spafford is a determined wannabe domestic terrorist. He even continued to manufacture explosives after accidentally blowing off three fingers on his right hand.

Donald Trump has nominated the notoriously unqualified Kash Patel to head the FBI. More worryingly, Patel pals around with the far right and has made threatening remarks against journalists and political opponents. Among Trump's pack of loathsome nominees, Patel stands out as the worst. He would likely ignore domestic terrorists.
