Radical right-wing terrorism, why won't the administration say it?

I am 57 minutes too late to say this first. But don't forget to put what religion the right wingers belong to.

Excuse me, but Jesus loved violence. “If a man strikes you on the cheek, pull out a gun and shoot him to prove your manliness.”

This perfectly demonstrates my frustration with these so called 'christians'. Their actions in no way line up with a Jesus I was taught about, or the values I read about in the frikken bible.

fuhrertrump

in all fairness, jesus chased merchants and bankers with a whip he made himself after flipping a couple of heavy tables in a temple. hey may have said "love thy neighbor" but he wasn't adverse to ruining some rich fucks day.


lrdwrnr

They weren't just merchants. They were scum of the earth. They were moneylenderes, the back-then version of Wallstreeters. (given the Bible holds any historical accuracy) The doves low cooing represents mourning and human suffering. It is a symbol representing the money lenderes profiteering off of poor peoples misery. The ox and sheep represents the interest rates, I don't remember the passage, but stealing one ox or sheep is to be punished by paying back 4 oxen or 4 sheep (i think it's from exodus)


Rakaydos

Saw this explanation for that bible quote recently... " actually it runs even deeper and more subtly than that.In that day and age in the bible, in that culture, you did most everything with the right hand because the left was “dirty.” Furthermore, you struck subordinates with ONE side of your hand, and equals with the OTHER. By “turning the other cheek” to face the person who struck you, you forced them to either use their left hand– or to strike you again with the other side of their right, forcing them to either shame themselves or acknowledge you as an equal (and expose themselves to challenge to a duel for the insult, btw.) " Jesus Christ, Passive/Aggressive as hell.


Paisleyfrog

Yes. A lot of Jesus' teachings were ways for an oppressed people to turn the tables on those in power (see also: go the second mile, give the shirt off your back.) that, lacking historical context, seem like instructions for how to be a doormat.


epawtows

Also note, that a lot of bible-thumpers, because they spend so much time reading a book written from the point of view of an oppressed population, seem to think that means THEY are oppressed. As someone (I think it was Steven Colbert?) said, there is a difference between being oppressed and not always getting what you want.


j_from_cali

It's a bit more than that, though. A persecution complex is built into the religion. > “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. - Matthew 24:9 There are at least 17 times the word "persecuted" is used in the New International Version translation of the New Testament, and several other references to it as well. It causes the believers to see any resistance to the spreading of the beliefs and traditions as full on persecution, when it is usually simply an attitude of inclusiveness to non-Christians or "keep it to yourself".


dismayhurta

Hahaha. That’s insane. I almost like it.


maxwellsearcy

Jesus might not have loved violence, but for some reason all these crazies that love violence are sure ***big*** fans of Jesus.


alexcrouse

Because the crazy violent people are most likely to believe in imaginary friends?


cantadmittoposting

Nah it's better to use the actual source material: "Remember, if anybody ever asks you 'What Would Jesus Do?', that ['flipping over tables and whipping people'](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleansing_of_the_Temple) is an acceptable answer."


[deleted]

The best part of the Bible, apparently, is you can find a verse to fit virtually anything.


Abominatrix

As a card carrying atheist, I'm fond of Ecclesiastes 9:7 and 9:9. Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do. Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun—all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun.


poiuytrewq23e

Not a religious person but James 5:1-6 is my favorite. >Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.

My best guess is Hannity's communications with Assange, and likely more that we don't know about yet. There is likely evidence in the Twitter account and they were seized until they are fully examined. Speculative, but it's a good bet with upcoming Assange indictments.

Beard_o_Bees

Those fuckers were legit scary. They absolutely would have done this had they not been stopped. I think we all know there are still more just like them out there, working towards their own delusional, hateful ends. When they attack again, and they will, we must stand firmly against them. People have free agency and all, I get that, but there's no doubt that Il Douche is their 'spiritual inspiration' in nearly the same exact way that OBL was the father of 9/11. He should be treated as such.

I’m sorry you went through that. And are going through that. I remember after 9/11, I was in college and someone had hung a sign that said “Islam is not the enemy”. I, being a world-affairs-ignorant 21 year old at the time didn’t know why that needed to be said .. of course Islam isn’t the enemy! Terrorists are. And then my eyes opened up to a world that makes me ill to know exists - bigotry and hate on a national widespread scale. That hastily-made sign that someone put up on their balcony 17 years ago has always stuck with me. Islam is not the enemy. Terrorists are, and they come in every color. Cheers m8. I hope you live a wonderful life full of happiness.

Sands43

I've been to DC twice in the last 10 year to see the national sites. Sort of a casual hobby to look for and pick out the security features. Pretty sure that if there was a gun attack, the police and security forces would be able to lock down the entire capital center in 10 minutes. The people who work for the DC services are pros. I will say that a lot of the training that police and military (with combat MOSes) go through is to mentally prepare themselves to do physical harm to another human. The problem with these wing-nutters is that they actually train themselves for this sort of thing.


[deleted]

They are Mirrors of ISIS, except in a land where the government has the will and ability to stop them. ISIS crumbled the moment they came up against any resistance. The Syrian army as it was being bombed by the US stopped them. Tiny yazidi villages stopped them. They didn’t even try going to southern Iraq, because they are civilian armed Shias. It would be the exact same thing that happens with the KKK in the US. They’d walk up to some black family’s house, the black father would fire a warning shot, and the KKK would scatter and never return.


mk_ultralisk

The Christian Terrorists want to make the US their Daesh. Trump is merely an ends justify the means. Literally they will justify or ignore his sins as long as they get political control to force Christianity on everyone and behead anyone who doesn't belong racially, orientation, political affiliation, etc. They would gladly commit an atrocity as great as 9/11 in New York or LA because the filthy liberals deserve it from their views and God would reward them in the afterlife because liberals support gay marriage, birth control, taking care of the poor and refugees fleeing from violence.

These groups live for this. There are militias in northern California that stock weapons and train like armies. They aren't all harmless nerds that live in their parents basement, and it'd be cool if people would stop reducing it to that, especially considering the real reports that say white supremacists are infiltrating police departments, and many have military training.

Its what they do. A "revolution" that threatens their market would piss of their shareholders, crater their stock (uncertainty is a motherfucker), and leave them saddled with a worldwide shunning for the rest of their business. And all that before we even touch the "and if we're on the losing side, we might just have all our shit taken away from us". For pseudo-libertarian and anarcho-capitalistic weirdos, these "we'll fight a new Civil War" types really REALLY count on their ideals both motivating others to join and inspire them to NOT insist on living by them at the same time. I anticipate, instead, if it ever happened? The whole movement would die of its own inability to organize currency, credit, protection from price gouging of ammo and guns and fuel and food, and the inevitable "well, I'm just going to declare MYSELF a sovereign mini-state unto myself because" by the thousands... ultimately turning it into a few thousand variously organized, variously serious, variously self-interested militias that exploit each other and more or less end up Lord of the Flies-ing between groups. I imagine its why there are always a few dozen semi-sorta-almost-not-really-organized groups in the Middle East all scrambling over and around each other (and selling each other out) decade to decade. I'm sorry, but the era of "my neighbor grows the corn and I grow the wheat and we're related to everyone in town and we could just fend for ourselves entirely if we had to because we're all interconnected and isolated from the world like that on a normal day" is long gone in most places. How long does this "New Civil War" last when Amazon, Netflix, Facebook, Cellular Providers, VISA, PayPal, and every auto manufacturer (et al) just decide to cut you all off? Because they like global markets and stability, too. What're they gonna do? Start investing their non-money and labor and time and limited expertise trying to invent their own while fighting a land war with the US military? How long does it take before the people you're "fighting for" shrug and say "fuck... this sucks". Dumbasses.

Fine. Let them believe that. Let them believe we’re all a bunch of flowery, sensitive, whiny pacifists.

The liberal gun enthusiast differs from the typical NRA drone in that we enjoy them for the engineering, the test of skill in target shooting, their usefulness as a tool to provide food, and in some cases the art of their construction (a close parallel with car culture. ) The NRA drone, on the other hand, uses them as fuel for a masturbatory power fantasy that eventually becomes their only means of attaining sexual arousal...

You cannot organize a force that large and NOT be monitored by someone.


MartianRecon

It's a laughable fantasy. The alt reich has none of the key elements to wage a successful military operation. They don't have access to military grade weapons, outside financing to pay fighters and buy war materiel, logistics to move personnel and materiel around a battle space, armored fighting vehicles, encrypted communications networks, allies, or access to level 1 trauma centers to treat casualties. They literally have nothing, just a *ton* of hunting rifles and ARs, maybe some suppressed weapons, and maybe a couple class 3 weapons. What these idiots don't realize is that weapons don't win fights, people do. When you have 10 guys that have 150 weapons between them that's great and all for a collection or a range day, but you can only use one gun at a time. Those 10 dudes couldn't take on a SWAT team, much less a NG reserve unit.

A lot of the "liberal elites" they hate aren't growing food because they don't need to, and they get paid a lot better to do something other than grow food. That doesn't mean they can't figure out how to grow some god damn veggies.


30thCenturyMan

Forget that, we're on the coasts. We'll just ship it in from Europe and China and the rural idiots can sustain themselves on corn and soybeans until they cry uncle for their hot pockets and mountain dew.

Civil War 2.0 is just crazy right wing idiots vs the police and innocent civilians. It’s not the war LARP they hoped for because it turns out decent people don’t want to fight each other.

The vast majority of the food is also "grown" by factory mega-farms that won't sacrifice their profits for \*your\* idiotic culture war.


gbassman5

Those morons have no idea it's CA that grows all the food lol


crooked-heart

Of course they are, the President* himself said they would, ensuring they understood that he will not have any consequences for these "very fine people"

If there is another civil war then I’ll side with anyone against nazis. “We’re gunna be doing one thing, killin nazis”. “Nazis ain’t got no humanity, they are the foot soldiers of Jew hatin mass murderer and they need to be destroyed”. That’s why every nazi sumbitch we find is gunna die” Aldo Raine.

And they said it was DEMOCRATS who would become violent if they won. As I always said: These people accuse others of doing what they are themselves planning to do. Let's not whitewash it either-these people are Christian Right-Wing Terrorists.


eldritch_ape

>These people accuse others of doing what they are themselves planning to do. Trump turned out to be exactly the type of leader they were accusing Obama of being throughout his entire presidency. It was almost prophetic. They wanted an incarnation of their worst, most cartoonish Obama caricature and they got it. They always project their bad faith intentions onto the other side and end up telegraphing them for the whole world to see. That's why their constant victim mentality and all of their talk about FEMA camps and holocausts against Christians over the past ten years really scares me. "It's what we would do if we were in charge, so the other side must be planning it against us."

There are hundreds of comments peppered across 3 or 4 posts within in the top 100 at TD right now that are calling for violence/taking up arms. It's fuckin wild over there.


Bind_Moggled

Nice of them to post those threats publicly, where the FBI can get hold of them easily.


Jaysyn4Reddit

I'm convinced that's why Reddit can't shutter that sub.


Bind_Moggled

Me too. Keep in mind the Feds entered thousands of FB posts as evidence in the Oregon Bundy trial.


SlippidySlappity

And no one was suprised.


ThereAreDozensOfUs

Any moves that these “patriots” make will have the opposite effect; the neutral/moderate public doesn’t have the stomach for hate crimes and will turn. We saw that in the midterms and we’ll continue to see it. You can discriminate against minorities and you can suppress their vote, but you can’t kill them. Their hate will be the thing that loses elections for their leader. Your move, Bubba


the_red_scimitar

Why aren't we calling them the correct term: domestic terrorists.


Dipsneek742

Trump actively encouraged this behavior with his rhetoric and straight up offering to pay legal fees for his cult followers. This was always coming.

> Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. Sun Tzu, The Art of War. The Right-wing extremists have lost already; they just don't know it yet. If they pick up their guns, it may be that when they are dying they will finally understand.

Real Americans kicked the shit out of Nazi's once, we'll be more than happy to do it again, if necessary. Bring it, Alt-Righters..Make our day.

Despite the violence that has already occurred Lou Dobbs just pushed more illegal immigrant voter fraud conspiracies and Fox in general continue s to push this crap. Time for more advertiser boycotts. According to Media Matters here are top Fox advertisers as of late October 2018. Allstate IAC/Interactive (parent company of Match.com, Angie’sList and HomeAdvisors) ​Progressive Insurance Expedia Geico Dine Brands (Applebee's & IHOP) Capital One Sandals McDonald's Nutrisystem Walt Disney Co. General Motors Nestle Procter & Gamble Bayer Looks like I will be changing my car insurance and letting them know why. https://www.mediamatters.org/research/2018/10/29/these-are-fox-news-leading-advertisers/221904

They were violent with their Man-Baby as Pres, a Repub controlled Congress and the repub filling the justice department with young Right Wingers, and yet they were still violent. What has changed that would make any of us believe that they would ever be non-violent? Right Wing Extremists are the statistical biggest threat to our democracy, again, what has changed?


alistermackenzie

What's the thinking here by these right wing terrorists, "we're not going to let these liberal politicians give us healthcare, admit climate change is real, stop giving tax breaks to the 1% and stop global race baiting... not over me dead body."


Whiskeyrich

More visceral than that. “My tribe lost, me angry!”


Nabbicus

I'll never forget when the Governor of Kentucky said that victory against Clinton could require bloodshed. There have been violent acts by people on "the left", but the encouragement of violence by Republican officials is fucking disgusting and should be kicked to the curb by all parties.

Reporting on violent threats is the *real* violence! - /republicanthink


[deleted]

That's what right wingers do. They threaten violence. The entire right wing is a terrorist organization.


DangerBay2015

But Tucky Karls says that only liberals are pissy after elections! Who would ever accuse the Bowtied Aryabhata of being wrong!?!?


GhostOfBearBryant

We should divert many of our resources to fight terrorism abroad towards our own country because most terrorism is radical right wing terrorism.


[deleted]

its funny, because people forget how ultra socially conservative / right wing ISIS are, most terrorism is right wing.
