I don't know I would agree with that. The militias, the Freeboro Baptists, the white supremacists and various other right wing groups seem to be pretty well organised.

When I say that much left wing extremism in the US is just normal in Europe, what I mean is that things like the health reforms are presented by right wingers as left wing extremism, while in Europe having a national health service (much more socialist than your health reforms) is simply a normal part of mainstream society.

Of course this is all a matter of perspective.

"Militias" are minor in number and have a tendency to hole up. We don't have the neo Nazi crowds resurging in Europa.
The Freeboro Baptists? They are like 50 people in that congregation.
The largest group was the KKK but that was smashed pretty heavily by the FBI. Same to same for the Nazis here-heavily infiltrated by the FBI. Plus their Leader kinda lost and the US hates losers.

My point wasn't about the number of them, it was about the fact they exist, and are organised, and get a lot of notice.

At the old house, there was a militia/nutjob cult group of about three families. They got rousted by the BATF one day-about ten cops. They really should take lessons from the LA though. When Pomona PD would smash one of the drug houses in the apartments they'd come with troopers, SWAT, helicopters, it was epic cool. Fun for the whole family!

A significant portion of the tea party is made up of conglomerated right with extremists and conspiracy theorists. Really, both sides have nutjobs in equal measure as a portion of their population.

Fun, Republican, populations.

And odds are they do it twice as much...

This thread has been reported on multiple reports and is being closed as its just too out there.

To clarify Dakka policy:

Sanctioning or otherwise calling for violence against real people in a serious manner (as determined by the moderators) is not allowed on DakkaDakka.

If the message was not intended seriously, then it is by default trolling.

Either way it is a significant violation of Dakka rules.
