The Base is emerging from shadows and ramping up its ranks as White House turns blind eye to the far right

An international neo-Nazi terrorist organization is boldly continuing to build in the US and planning a new paramilitary training event without fear of local authorities or the FBI, which once dismantled it in a nationwide effort.

The Base, founded in 2018 by a former Pentagon contractor living in Russia and now suspected of Kremlin-sponsored espionage, once boasted close to 50 stateside members before the bureau made more than a dozen arrests in a years-long counter-terrorism operation.

But since the presidential election campaign last year and what many then believed to be a surefire victory for Donald Trump, the Base saw an opportunity in a potential administration uninterested in policing white supremacy and went about ramping up its ranks.

If I end up dying during a civil war, I hope that I can take at least one of these shitbirds with me.

If we all average 1.5 the resulting society should be good for a few generations.

Fun fact: Al Qaeda translates to “The Base”

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

As I keep pointing out, they know. This group actively chose that name because they seek to emulate the leaderless, decentralized warfare of Al Qaeda.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 3 days ago

Definitely not a coincidence

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Oh look, it's redneck Al-Qaeda again

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It has to be intentional, right? Like someone told them to call it that to fuck with them?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Oh no, Al-Qaeda literally means The Base. These assholes are literally American Al-Qaeda

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

That's almost funny. Almost.

So these right wing nut jobs had families and ancestors that fought a global war to fight against fascists and nazis ...... so that their children and grandchildren can become fascists and nazis

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Could possibly be descendents of Nazi supporters here in the US

america had a nazi party that was never properly adressed, plus we also had the KKK century before.

Also, Hitler literally stole ideas like eugenics and Jim Crow from America to persecute/murder the Jews and other minorities because that’s how evil my country’s past is.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Hitler also gave one of Nazi Germany's highest civilian awards to .... Henry Ford

I volunteer to train neonazis. We'll do lots of live fire drills, get drunk and throw grenades, learn how "clean water" is a woke myth, and so much more.

Train them that gun maintenance starts with looking down the barrel to check for any debris, damage, or jams.

Just a friendly reminder that the 2nd Amendment is for all Americans, no matter how left you lean.

"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary"

Even Karl Marx supports gun rights

All you lefty accelerationists who ten months ago wanted to “teach the Dems a lesson” - I expect to see you out there lighting up these chuds with weapons. You wanted this, here it is.

Oh wait what? You have no plan, and no support? Just gonna fold under the weight of your own idiotic arrogance eh? Who could have expected that.

And no, murdering two unarmed employees of the Israeli embassy at a museum does not count.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

What are you doing tho? Still crying about your loser election. Less than worthless.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This consistent guilt tripping of people who refuse to vote for genocide is part of the reason things are the way they are.. This rot didn't start 10 months ago, it didn't even start 10 years ago, it's been there for a long time..

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

Guilt tripping people who intentionally refused to vote and allowed this carnage to ensue.

I’m okay with it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

If people not voting for A nor B is the same as not voting can we call that a democracy? But yeah fuck people who don't vote at all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah, this is great example of how the liberalism supports fascism. They have literally nothing to offer except for attacking those who actually resist fascism.

I dunno man, I was told progressives votes did not matter in the last election, and here you are crying about it like it does matter. Thats confusing-- Why bother if you think progressives had no power? And if their votes DID matter, why didnt the Harris campaign with their 'biggest-warchest-ever' consultants factor that into their brilliant calculations/triangulations?

https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/democratic-nonvoters-policy-preferences/

Seems like a lot of finger pointing when the killer's call is coming from inside the house.

I don’t know who told you that, but whoever they were, they’re an idiot. And if you believed that, well.

And if their votes DID matter

Yes, this is the same as 1+1=2. It’s not hard and you’re very well aware of how counting works. Every vote matters.

why didnt the Harris campaign with their 'biggest-warchest-ever' consultants factor that into their brilliant calculations/triangulations?

What, I got Kamala on line 2? Fuck, I don’t know. But here you are crying about not getting direct mailed on your feelie topic most just when the fucking nazis are literally dismantling the government in front of everybody and lefty-non-voters chose not to stop it.

It’s unconscionable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Every vote matters.

LOL grow up. Straight up false info. Phony libs are never going to understand why they lose.

At this point they'll probably get direct funding from Kash Patel

At least one US fash has already, Chadwick Seagraves. The rest might need a little encouragement.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

Maybe a good time for some moles to join up while they're trying to vet a lot of new recruits...

This shit is so fucking stupid. I see very little difference from a bunch of primates throwing and eating their own shit. These animals belong in cages.

Enclave when?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (3 children)

The base = Al-Qaeda. That’s pretty much a direct translation. Republicans always going on about their “Base”…face it, they’re radicals. Extremists. From guns to religion to nationalism and even anti-vax. Just like the terrorist group they spent decades of war hating.
