The department said it made its finding based on the group’s history of violence rooted in “its openly racist, anti-immigrant, antisemitic, anti-LGBTQI+ platform”. The United States remains deeply concerned about the racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist threat worldwide and is committed to countering the transnational components of violent white supremacy,” a department statement said.

Yeah. Good job dealing with Nordic Nazis, government, now please also take care of the American ones.

Does this mean they’ll soon get CIA support?

Idiots with nothing better to do.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The United States on Friday designated a Scandinavian neo-Nazi group and three of its leaders as terrorists, saying the Nordic Resistance Movement poses a threat to Americans.

NMR, known by its Swedish acronym, is the largest neo-Nazi group in Sweden and has branches in Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland, where it has been banned since 2020.

The state department added the movement and the leaders to its Specially Designated Global Terrorist list, meaning that any US-based assets will be frozen and they will be blocked from using the US financial system.

The leaders being blacklisted, all Swedes, were the group’s chief, Fredrik Vejdeland, and two other senior figures, Pär Öberg and Leif Robert Eklund.

Founded in 1997 in Sweden as the Swedish Resistance Movement, the group saw sister organizations spring up in other Nordic countries until they were united under NMR in 2016.

After taking office in 2021, Joe Biden’s administration laid out a strategy to counter domestic terrorism that included identifying foreign groups that provide support.

Why do you say it's not? You like to ignore what you not agree with?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Putin is a corrupt, murderous dictator.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You are the one saying in the first place that it is growing up. Give us your sources, stats etc. Don't ask people to justify their answer to your opinion fact based.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

but neo-nazi stuff it’s going up in the zone.

It's possible. There's plenty of Russians in Ukraine right now. I'm sure the huge amount of it in Russia spilled over.

Good work, you only have 17 more anti-Ukraine posts to make before your quota is met. Enjoy the paltry sum of rapidly-depreciating rubles your work is earning you, hope it was worth trading hours of your miserable existence for.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know white supremacists are fucking stupid, but you'd think they'd at least be smart enough to not need clip-on kiddie-sized ties.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Considering the Nazis I've met over the years, I'd say most of them are barely bright enough to tie their shoes, let alone a tie.

In general, if you think your skin tone has something to do with your superiority, you're not all that bright.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know, I think that makes sense personally. I think a good portion of them are actually struggling with feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness, or at least did at some point. When you're feeling like that, and you have no skills or intellect, you'll take any lifeboat out, even if the only thing making you different is your skin color. At that point, the only thing I have, my skin color, makes me better than everyone else.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

And I would argue that if those are your circumstances, thinking you're better than everyone else is not very bright.

Why are the police protecting them? Throw them to the wolves, and let's see if they stay confident enough to do their marches after getting pummeled.

I guess we can safely say they're state sponsored.
