Far-Right Extremists Tell One Another to Stay Home, Fight Another Day
Source: Vice.com
In the wake of the Capitol Hill riots, the federal government deployed 15,000 National Guard members and Washington, D.C. is under, essentially, military occupation to protect against the threat of yet more domestic terrorism. But online, many of the same far-right extremists who cheered on the chaos in Congress that killed five people only weeks ago have been advising followers to stay home, bide their time, and organize to fight another day.
The slew of FBI arrests of extremists who participated in the storming of Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, including the QAnon Shaman and several veterans, and large-scale deplatforming on social media apps has convinced many on the far right that it's not the right time time to attack state capitals or disrupt the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden in D.C. I urge everyone to avoid DC and the State Capitols and instead use this time to close all accounts related to BigTech, reads one post by a rightwing pundit on Telegram, the app of choice among neo-Nazis and terror groups. [S]top giving them your money and start rebuilding your networks on Alt Tech platforms, Alt Comms, alt media, alt social media, alt banking, alt fundraising, alt payment processing alt everything!
Reports have indicated that the question of what to do on January 20 has resulted in the fracturing of the precarious union formed by disparate far-right groups like the Proud Boys, militias, and Q followers in advance of the January 6 protest. The result is that the number of protesters around the country seems likely to be only a small fraction of what was initially expected. Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the nationalist street fighting gang the Proud Boys and an outspoken figure within the extreme right political scene, told followers to stay home on January 20 and instead plan for the next four years of activism.

(121 posts)When venomous snakes sense danger they slither under a rock and wait for another opportunity to strike. if they continue to fear us, they will continue to hide because they are essentially cowards. The point is to always be brave and never allow them to slither out from under their rocks.

(3,436 posts)When there are people able and willing to shoot back, suddenly they're just a bunch of misunderstood patriots. As soon as the cavalry showed up at the Capitol and took control, they were suddenly, "What? Insurrection? I thought this was the line to The Haunted Mansion!"

LiberalLovinLug
(14,689 posts)So they leave the Capital basically unguarded despite weeks of warnings of an insurrection. The inevitable happens.
So then they go way overboard with a show of "strength". Somewhat ruining what should be a day of celebration, no troops, just peace and hope and support for the new administration.
And the Proud Boys, Boogaloos, KKK, etc... will "stand down" for now, knowing they will be defeated badly, and the media will roast them. They will wait and be ready to strike, on State houses if not Federal, whenever the extra security leaves.

That is serious success.

(8,264 posts)hungry and desperate? No
Take a look at any photo of real insurgents, there are lots of examples around the world. They are all angry, armed but also look hungry and desperate, always. They never look like guys who are cracking beers and stopping by the burger place on their way home to the suburbs. Real insurgents do not worry about getting arrested, they fight lean, and would find a larger concentration of enemy troops attractive as just that much more to shoot at.
These privileged white bois want revolution on the cheap, if they actually want it at all. What I think they really want is to drink and whine about their cherished free-dumbs. The free-dumb to be conned by gun and ammo salesmen into believing that if they spend just a little more, they will be powerful. But they have spent a bunch on their shiny noise makers already, and still fold the moment opposition shows up.
All that needs to happen to flush them is to keep up the pressure with regular arrests. We have signals intelligence that captures pretty much anything we care to read from all over the planet. The notion that they can find alt-media that they can use with their GPS enabled tracking device smart phones without it being read by law enforcement at a moment's notice, just shows how dumb they are.
