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.

Fun fact: Al Qaeda translates to “The Base”

[–] [email protected] 58 points 4 days ago

Definitely not a coincidence

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

"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

But karl-marxists forget those the moment their side seems more in fashion.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, the US is sooo ~~McCarthyist~~ Marxist, it's super fashionable.

Also, Black Panther is a superhero movie, and Malcolm X is a member of the X-Men.

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 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I was told progressives votes did not matter in the last election

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] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (5 children)

k, well, remember this loss and dont try the same shenanigans if there is a next time, alrighty? You can choose either AIPAC money/war crimes OR the votes of the left-- not both. Thats the reality you centrists get. Its not up for debate or negotiation.

If you think 4 years of Trump will fundamentally change that, try the same thing again and watch what happens. See you in the midterms.

Also, I want to do a special shout out for you @optional, in bringing this up again and again, and again, and my god, again. Tedious for us all, even me! But the DNC hasnt changed even a little bit, and repeating this exercise until the centrist idiots get the message that they cant force it is going to take a lot of repeating. So keep up the good work buddy. See you in the next post.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Are you one of those “I voted Kamala, I just hate everything the Dems do, say, and stand for” people? If so, that’s cool but this isn’t about you then.

“See you in the midterms” like you’re gonna sit at home and refuse to fight this disgusting horror again? I mean, not see you more like it, in that case, right?

Sorry you had to be reminded of the idiot non-voter role in our current death factory again, it sounds like that’s a real sore spot. Hey why don’t you continue to not learn this lesson and then to experience nothing but horror, graft, corruption, state violence and environmental devastation for the rest of your life? You can pretend the workers are about to seize the means of production any minute now!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

@Optional,

Some things (like supporting war crimes and mass murder) you shouldn't ever make deals on. Thats the difference between you and a progressive.

The DNC knew you'd cave and do whatever you were told to do, no matter what that was. I guarantee that the DNC told AIPAC that they could deliver your vote.

You will take the left's demands of ending AIPAC pay-to-play within the party as a non negotiable or you will not have lefty support in all future votes and the dems will continue to lose and disintegrate as a party-- because theres not enough centrists in the US to win an election.

centrists would support genocide for free, no matter how many votes they lose.

Of course its everybody elses fault, never your own (typical american who cant take responsibility for his own actions)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 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 3 days 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 2 days 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.

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.

Can we dose them with Ecstasy while they are all gathered together? Or should we nuke them from space? I'm really torn on this one.
