The Russians *are* doing it. To what extent still?

He's probably joking, but I think it's likely to be true, they haven't changed that much over the years:

The FBI is probably doing Cointelpro type stufd in the twitter group chats of people who post shit like this which will be a very fun set of FOIA disclosures to read in like 15 years. pic.twitter.com/VmnY7idNLL

Black and brown extremists in the "multiracial far right", @ WaPo:

Many (most?) activists and academics are working under an outdated model of anti-gov extremist demographics.

This isn't the 1990s.

He's charged and in jail, singing the national anthem and citing the pledge of allegiance with his comrades daily who share his situation, so I would say definitely personally responsible for choices.

What is BLM political goal, though? To create enemies like this?

From someone who started out just watching Fox news, and maybe throwing a coffee cup at his kid who disagrees from time to time? There's one of those at every Thanksgiving dinner, every family's got one.

But it seems to me BLM wants all those guys to get so angry that they get up off their lounge chair and take a weapon to one of their protests, and find more radicals on the right and start conspiring? GREAT JOB if that was the goal, BLM. Radical divisiveness now, radical divisiveness forever.

Most places in this country, though, to get anywhere politically and to win elections, you have to loudly and clearly disassociate yourself from radicals. Like Joe/

BLM *does* argue that. Even in a time of 100s of thousands new Covid, street shooting and opioid deaths, some in BLM will argue that police shooting an "innocent" teen about to knife another is worth protesting and destroying cities, often businesses and services from the same minorities they claim to speak for, ignore their terrorized neighbors. Sometimes gets very tedious to argue with them - they feel self-righteous no matter what, focus down on 1 issue they care about at the expense of all others.

Shades of whites who protested MLK marches.

BLM could argue that they are radicalized by the justice system.

Anyone who thinks BLM protests and associated riots and violence had nothing to do with inspiring any protesters at Jan. 6 should read this. He was radicalized over his anger about them:

He was an oil rig worker (which included years of working in other countries, like Malaysia). Probably not much different from your average Fox News viewer. As the pandemic hit, he was unemployed and -

The Meet and Greet

As Reffitt struggled to find work in the spring of 2020, he spent hours watching Fox News and getting angry over the Black Lives Matter protests, his family said. His teenage children supported the movement; Reffitt viewed it as “bullshit,” according to his texts. One argument with his son ended with Reffitt throwing a coffee mug across the room. About a week later, Jackson Reffitt went to march in a BLM rally in Wylie. His father went armed, the family said, standing guard outside the suburb’s Olde City Park.

Around that time, Guy Reffitt was introduced to the Three Percenters, a decentralized anti-government movement. The group, which takes its name from the myth that only three percent of the population fought the British in the American Revolution, is credited with popularizing the militia movement by framing it in more palatable, patriotic terms.

Nicole Reffitt recalled a “meet and greet” in June, with about 20 members coming to the Reffitt home for a barbecue.

After some awkward small talk, the conversation turned to “what everyone could do,” she said. Who had military experience? Who had a license to carry? Who knew how to stop a bleed? Someone took notes to be sent up the chain of command [.....]
