Discussion: Infighting Is Already Derailing Planned Far-Right Torch Rally In Charlotte, NC

It’s more like what Groucho Marx said:
“He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot, but don’t let that fool you. He really is an idiot.”

Infighting, mistrust and the dark stain of August’s deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia are threatening to derail…

Wow so they aren’t 100% complete morons. They at least know none of them is trustworthy.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for Glenn Greenwald to weigh in on the new McCarthyism.

If Anticom moves forward with the rally, all it’ll need to do is file for an amplified sound permit to use a speaker system and stick to city streets during the torch march

I wonder if they are concerned that someone may have notified the “We should run over protesters blocking traffic” crowd about this…

Torches constitute potential weapons, BTW.

Ever notice how white supremacists are obviously some of the least supreme white people you could imagine.

I’m sure it’s an organic grass-roots response to the antifascist movement.

“Urging people to attend a purposefully provocative event with unknown
planners who have openly called on people to bring guns to the event is,
in our view, utterly irresponsible.”

Does this signal a moderation in approach?

Nope, it signals jealousy that they weren’t the ones at the top of the bill.

This seems to me to highlight a plus for driving rightwingers further underground - they are so inherently paranoid and conspiracy-theory minded that they stop even trusting each other…especially when that paranoia gets mixed in with their pre-existing cluelessness as to how the world actually works.

No, it’s better cover than marching for Dixie, and being the storm troopers of capitalism they understand well who the enemy is - even if that enemy is dormant at the moment.

I thought fascists were really good at organizing rallies and of course making the trains run on time.

Oh goodie, now they are scaring each other - not just the rest of us. Sounds like some are realizing that is safer to stay underneath their rocks.

It would be a shame if the rally gets cancelled. A successful rally would give Chairman Mao a fit of apoplexy.

There’s a big demand for tiki torches in December. They should be able to find a few at the Home Depot.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for an Operation Hummingbird.
