The honest truth is that the category of dumb fuckers those dumb fucks belong to makes them vastly more likely to harm themselves and/or each other than anyone else. This is why I’m not especially intimidated by people like that.

The military thinking demonstrated by the occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge was rather low grade, but they did show some tactical thinking and some discipline. Most white supremacists may look and talk like bozos, but there are enough vets mixed in you shouldn't discount them as entirely clueless about weaponry and tactical violence.

maybe when neo-Nazi types are hanging out at home with their buddies they are prone to shooting themselves or one another accidentally, but that would not seem especially relevant to street fighting, especially against unarmed counter-protestors.

Has there ever been a militant group that would be so easy to infiltrate?
― Roomba with an attitude (Sanpaku), Saturday, 4 August 2018 19:36 (five years ago) link
That would require anyone responsible was at all interested in infiltrating these groups.

fwiw I think that the more "serious" WP groups are much closer in kind to paramilitary/criminal organizations and a lot harder to infiltrate than, like, 4chan
― gbx, Saturday, 4 August 2018 19:42 (five years ago) link
I'm sure a good 5-10% are FBI and other law enforcement, keeping an eye. But even in the event of some insurrection, I suspect they'd fall apart as their leaders were fragged.

If they're anything like the UK law enforcement responsible for such things they're too busy 'infiltrating' (i.e. knocking up) hippies to worry about people firebombing mosques and attacking/killing leftists etc.

As someone on twitter pointed out, cops are much more likely to try to disperse antifa than the fash (as has apparently been the case today), which makes it easier for the latter to swarm the former a little later on. I've seen this dynamic play out firsthand.
Fuck cops.

report from Portland lending credence to TOmbot's pov:
This is extra hilarious: so the Proud Boys (what a dipshit Peter Pan name for your gang of dickless clowns) and Patriot Prayer (stop it) decided that a Fred Meyer parking lot in the Vancouver was the right place to load up their out-of-towers and bus them into Portland for shit-stirring. Fred Meyer has responded to this poor organizational decision with a fleet of tow trucks, which promptly took their cars to the $1000 impound lot. It is illegal to park in their lot and leave, after all. This is a fitting clapback to the uninvited bad publicity they got with the weird decision to use that lot in the first place.

A Portland anti-fascist protestor was hit in the head with a flash bang grenade; it basically seems like he survives because he wore a helmet.In the third photograph, you can see Portland police officers grinning after firing the grenade. https://t.co/YYRg5MFj5W— Zoé (@ztsamudzi) August 5, 2018

The media coverage of today’s event from national outlets was fuckin’ terrible.
Kinda weird headline when a police projectile appears to have shot clean through a protester's helmet and injured him, and when one of your paper's reporters was photographed bleeding from the head. Also, plenty of fighting on side streets. https://t.co/DD2f27T1lX— Corey Pein 😃🤑😐😩💀 (@coreypein) August 5, 2018

The Portland police are also on record saying that Patriot Prayer is "more mainstream" (guess Kek flags, people who attended Unite the Right, and shirts celebrating mass murderers are mainstream now) despite the ongoing links between far-Right violence and out right killers. pic.twitter.com/0h6bWdSA6U— It's Going Down (@IGD_News) August 5, 2018
