I like how he consistently brags on his Instagram that he cuts down trees for a living.

Making $35,000 a year while destroying my back to own the libs.

You can see that army career really helped snag him that high-paying career path.

Yeah like I said earlier in the thread he's just a typical Libertarian, a hateful bigot in every sense of the word except he just also hates cops but purely because he believes they're out to take his guns and force him to pay taxes.

Like most of his ilk he's just a white person who thinks not being allowed to horde a vast trove of firearms and having to pay taxes is a grave oppression and violation of his rights that in his minds dwarfs all that oppression via racism and homophobia and sexism that he thinks are so okay.

TL;DR : The most crystalline example of white privilege

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

They would prefer private mercenaries, it's true, but mostly because cops might discriminate against their stockpiling of illegal weaponry, drugs and rampant pedophilia.

How does one become a libertarian? Is it a slow descent into madness after looking at taxes on your paycheck or is it an all of a sudden thing like his family died at ruby ridge and he's out for revenge?

It's when you get a particularly bad American History textbook in middleschool and from that point onwards you have been conditioned to fetishize the Founding Fathers and the original ideals the nation was founded on which includes such great free market innovations such as chattel slavery.

By the way, regardless of this guy's domestic violence and eventual armed standoff, CPS showing up and saying "hey give us your husband's thirty round mags that some rando said you have or we'll take your kids" is a real step over the line.

Somehow I seriously doubt the beginning and end of the red flag call his veteran coworker made was "He has 30 round mag arrest him." and was likely more like "He has been saying/doing poo poo that makes me suspect he might do some murderous poo poo and I know he has illegal ammunition."

This thread took me on a deep rabbit hole through Instagram and the AR15 forums, which revealed a bunch of deeply disturbed veterans and military fetishists who are heavily armed and sincerely believe that they're going to take on the US Government in the near future. The militia movement is a heavy loving pause for concern.

Remember the days when these guys just had a sub to Soldier of Fortune and went skeet shooting with their buddies? Yeah? That was the gateway drug. I can only wonder how many HangRedcoats88 type posters are lurking in TFR/GiP on our own fair forums.

gently caress me I do not want to spend three months in the deep south next year, given current trends in that country I'd feel safer in sub-saharan Africa.

Edit: On an aside, goddamn, imagine what would have happened if Vietnam vets had returned to these kind of toxic internet communities and the ability to buy military grade weaponry for pennies? This current event is clearly a great example of the US Military leaving its veterans out to dry with no mental health support whatsoever, which has been going on since 'Nam, but these guys are coming back primed for radicalization by what are effectively nascent domestic terror cells rather than just getting hooked on drugs and dying on the streets.

These people would be more dangerous but they are all so hyper-individualised that they just occasionally perform one man last stands against the cops as opposed to any real organising, rendering their huge weapons stockpiles useless.

the internet obviously changed things in terms of organization/communication, as has the political situation, but I have no idea how you think it was somehow difficult or expensive to buy guns in the 1970's, especially "military grade" weapons

the machinegun registry wasn't closed until the mid 1980's, there were way fewer import restrictions, and even without getting into all of the many commercial offerings, surplus/sporterized M1 carbines (a semi-automatic gun used by the US military and making use of what you'd call high-capacity detachable magazines) had been an extremely popular choice among civilians since the 1940s

I think I phrased that poorly, the guns have always been available, it was the context of the other cultural issues coupled with that availability which I was getting at.

a drone dropping bombs on house(s) would frighten the populace and further galvanize the people/ lend credence to the narrative that the government is corrupt and dangerous

"why don't we just drop bombs on marigold lane and wipe out the traitors" -- an actual question from a real person with real thoughts
