The Military Says It's Confronting Extremism. A Prominent White Nationalist Just Finished Boot Camp.

[The Magistrate]

43. It Is Not, Sir, State Sanction That Defines

It is whether a view, and action towards its realization, can be contained within a political system, or cannot be realized without its overthrow. The latter is insurrection, and cannot be part of the political process. By the simplest of definitions insurrection might be dubbed 'politics', and one might even rope in the saw that 'war is the continuation of politics by other means', dubbing in 'insurrection' for 'war', but neither line illuminates the political order through which communities govern themselves.

Nor do people intending insurrection consider their intentions and acts part of the political order they assail. They may try and make use of the mores of the political system whose overthrow they intend, in hopes of growing stronger without being looked at closely, and that 'legal' approach will be cast aside the moment the insurrectionists feel themselves capable of mastering the situation.

Persons intending to overthrow a political system will be resisted by the state which is the expression of that political system. It is rare that the state does not win. It certainly seems seditious racists have managed to convince the government here, most of it, anyway, that they are a danger to the state. Many are a little late in learning that, but the slow must be encouraged.
