      We're now at the stage where the CIA doesn't have to MKUltra people individually, the internet does it for them en masse.

    I confronted these fools in Chicago a few weeks ago. They try to hit up gentrified neighborhoods and play on white guilt to get donations to "help colonized people", but all that money is going to their cult leader. They're also working with the proud boys, when I went to blow up their spot to stop people from giving them money, the white dude in the background who was "just a concerned citizen" tried to interfere. It's fucking wild out here, y'all.

      :wtf-am-i-reading:

      Between these fuckers, the patsocs, and the radlibs, it feels like they're trying to chip away at the movement from every possible angle or aesthetic.

        I don't mind radlibs. A lot of them are Berniecrats who learned about our policies through protest slogans. These types can actually do goods things when it doesn't get too garbled in translation. For example, in Portland, gun control targeted at cops is getting actual airplay in establishment liberal circles (which is sort of a canary for the same thing happening in Denver and Seattle). A lot of them are people questioning their political positions and open to radicalizing. I've been able to drive a lot of people left from this place.

        Then there's liberal co-opters, but they've always been around and you can usually tell because of their desire to channel everything into non-profits, their calls for "nuance" on black and white issues, and their love of ineffectual methods that end up making democrats money.

          Normally I use the word to refer to the latter since it's kinda pejorative. The former I'd call socdems or syndicalists since they can be taken seriously to a degree.

            Calling people syndicalists in the 21st century in an anglophone country is silly.

    At one point they were set on buying a compound in the Colorado Rockies. They'd have been at like 10.5k' in elevation, where the roads are inaccessible September-June, in a deeply conservative part of the state. At that altitude hypoxia causes an uptick in mental illness and suicidality.

    It would have created the perfect conditions for this. If they weren't feds I'd like to take them hiking that high in like May with the warning that the snows are so deep walking near trees might be like quicksand.

    jesus christ what the fuck. As if the left/world doesn't already have everything collapsing at once, an intelligence operation masquerading as a radical left wing party is out there fucking killing people. COME ON.

    This is pure doomer shit, it's just L on L on L.

      This is basically always going on. There have been "left wing" crank cults for as long as there has been a left.

        Yeah, but RCP you can bully out of your demo with a bullhorn and a good smack, but these guys seems less likely to hide until the next big movement.

    From the article:

    Police said a man was later found dead inside the home from a gunshot wound. Police say the gunshot wound was self-inflicted.

    I’m not a fan of this group by any means, but it does seem like cops may have shot him, and not group members, if they’re reporting as self-inflicted. Seems bizarre they’d state it that way before a full report/autopsy.

    Their website makes no sense. I read their articles and they start out making sense before devolving into babble using anti-colonial terms here and there.

    I'm supposed to me doing some canvasing work around abortion with my DSA chapter in a red state and I'm straight up worried it could get me killed.

    Not only do the right use violence but they just get away with it. Liberals don't give a fuck when right wing violence is used against the left
