I understand the reasoning and strategy behind attacks like that, it makes sense for groups and people like them when you factor in what their goals are.

But when you look into the actual shit that goes on in Atomwaffen it becomes a meme. Former members and leaked logs have shown it to be a hilariously degenerate group. The fact that they're more adept at killing each other than anyone else just adds to the amusement.

How exactly does randomly shooting at civilians make sense?

It makes sense from the perspective of someone who thinks that being feared and being obeyed are the same thing.

When your goal is nothing less than the total destruction of society as it currently exists so you can build something new afterwards, which is the goal for those who follow James Mason and SIEGE, every attack makes a certain amount of sense. Every shooting for example further inflames the gun debate which drives liberals and conservatives further apart and every so slightly and slowly weakens the republic as a result as both sides dig further and further into their position. Choice of target and making yourself appear to belong to a different belief set could also greatly increase tensions, though most of these dipshits aren't smart enough to think in the long term about playing people against each other like that.

Really it just boils down to violence being nothing but another political tool and how willing someone is to use it in an attempt to further their political agenda. Atomwaffen and co, at least on paper, represent the furthest one can go with that.

I low-key agree with Diopolis but at the same time, if a woman wants to do something traditionally a man's job, AlHamdulillah. If a man wants to do something traditionally a woman's job, AlHamdulillah. Yes, Allah SWT created men and women differently and to do different tasks, but still.

Why so?

Because the man is the breadwinner, the provider of the family. He has a big influence on how the family is raised up (if he's in their lives) and teaches them right from wrong (tho the latter is a two-parent thing). https://legacy.quran.com/4/34

I feel quite comfortable describing myself as a nationalist or an ultranationalist even but I'm not quite sure I could call myself a patriot as I feel little love for the American republic as it currently exists.

I have something close to the opposite problem. I'm a Texan patriot, albeit not totally sold on the idea of nationalism yet. I am not a US patriot or nationalist, and what little love I have for America is because Texas happens to be a part of it.

Hey, we have something in common :) Except I'm from North Carolina :)

I don’t like the term “globalist” tbh; it implies a hazy sort of cultural (and to a lesser extent, moral) relativism, which my conception of the world state would seek to avoid, y’know?

What would you say to a stable loving homosexual couple of two men equally qualified to vote? Which one of them gets the vote?

A voter should be beyond reproach in conduct. This would naturally exclude active homosexuals, along with adulterers, deadbeat dads, etc. I'm actually partial to the idea of requiring a man to be a father before he can vote, although not sure about it.

Know thyself? I don't understand.

How is participating in a homosexual relationship any worse inherently than participating in a heterosexual relationship.

Gnothi Sauton, because a woman's place is not in the military. The officer corps should be made up of gentlemen, and so should have conduct which, like other servants of the state, shows the public how to act. Even if a woman would make an excellent officer, it would be best if other uses were to be found for her talents to avoid encouraging individualist attitudes amongst the people.
How is participating in a homosexual relationship any worse inherently than participating in a heterosexual relationship.

Because the natural telos of the sexual act is to, in the first place, generate children, in the second, to bond their parents, and only in the third for concupable purposes. Homosexual couples cannot have children, and so only the third part can be reached, and so homosexual sex, much like casual sex, is degeneracy. Of course, there's nothing that needs to be illegal about courtly love style romance without sex, but it looks bad, so should not be encouraged among the citizenry.

If I'm not mistaken, according to Dio's radical traditionalist Catholicism homosexual relations are in violation of divinely-ordained laws for human conduct; as Dio seeks to implement (radical traditionalist) Catholicism as the state religion for his ideal polity, namely an independent Texas, it thus follows that the official viewpoint of such a country would be that homosexuality is evil because God forbids it. Am I mistaken or did I interpret you correctly, Dio?

EDIT: It seems while I was writing, Dio responded. To use a colloquialism: oof. Possibly even a "turbo oof" if I do say so myself.

Would you mind TGing me your thoughts on that? I'm not in favor of a violent insurrection, but it's interesting to know what kind of violence is actually integral to fascism.

My NS stats are not indicative of my OOC views. NS stats are meant to be rather silly. My OOC political and ideological inspirations are as such:
The Republic, by Plato | Leviathan, by Thomas Hobbes | The Confucian civil service system of imperial China | The "Golden Liberty" elective
monarchy system of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth | The corporatist/technocratic philosophy of Henri de Saint-Simon | The communitarian
ideological framework of the Singaporean People's Action Party | "New Deal"-style societal regimentation | Kantian/Mohist/Stoic philosophy

Gnothi Sauton, because a woman's place is not in the military. The officer corps should be made up of gentlemen, and so should have conduct which, like other servants of the state, shows the public how to act. Even if a woman would make an excellent officer, it would be best if other uses were to be found for her talents to avoid encouraging individualist attitudes amongst the people.
How is participating in a homosexual relationship any worse inherently than participating in a heterosexual relationship.

Because the natural telos of the sexual act is to, in the first place, generate children, in the second, to bond their parents, and only in the third for concupable purposes. Homosexual couples cannot have children, and so only the third part can be reached, and so homosexual sex, much like casual sex, is degeneracy. Of course, there's nothing that needs to be illegal about courtly love style romance without sex, but it looks bad, so should not be encouraged among the citizenry.

You would deprive yourself of a fine officer just to discourage the slightest ounce of individualism?

No, the purpose of sex is not recreation, the purpose is whatever those involved in the sex want.
