You’ve seen the Charlottesville images. This is a new generation with a figurehead to unite behind, something they didn’t have before. I think the new generation is motivated in a way the guys from the 80s and 90s weren’t. The older generation’s ideology was based around defense, falling apart with OKC. The new generation is starting from the aggressive position not far removed from McVeigh. They train to for aggression. That is why they’re a concern. They’re not looks living up in the mountains. These new guys are based in or near population centers. That is why I see them as potentially more dangerous. Plus, you know, they may have material and propaganda support from a certain foreign power.
