Maybe you don't understand because you aren't reading my posts. Like the post that Chuck snipped in which I explain that pointing out that hate groups do a thing isn't the same as saying that anyone who does a thing is in a hate group.

Problem is that your posts are about a nothing burger. No shit members of hate groups tell jokes and the like. Everyone does. What’s the point of pointing that out?

What's the point of monitoring and researching hate groups? Probably nothing, I guess. Just something people do for fun.

What’s the point of mentioning that a hate group seems to prefer two-ply?

Right, no one wants a second civil war, and we know that because of all the people in hate groups talking about a second civil war with the special funny word that makes what they say not count.

How many people using the scary meme are actually intending on starting a second civil war? How much more likely are people to want a second civil war after being exposed to this meme? How many people that want a second civil war express so only using this meme?

This is nothing more than a bunch of people getting their panties twisted into knots.

"Hate groups"

Ah yes, by your standards half of NS would be on a Stasi watch list. Does the idea of heretics scare you so? Does it torture your conscious that people are saying unapproved things?

I don't know.

Fascinating questions that I'm afraid we can only answer by monitoring and researching hate groups.

That certainly does seem to be what everyone wants to be true.

Woulda thought that’s something we already did.

By all means, feel anxiety over a few 4chan bants.

What's more worrying is the apparent mass of people who stubbornly refuse to even entertain the possibility that extreme beliefs might be expressed and normalised through jokes and irony. What is so hard to understand about someone saying something terrible, and really meaning it, but phrasing it as a joke?

https://apple.news/A5cWnrJzRRNqTsJcw9dIqng


[box]An anti-government movement that advocates for a violent uprising targeting liberal political opponents and law enforcement has moved from the fringes of the internet into the mainstream in recent months and surged on social media, according to a group of researchers that tracks hate groups.

I'm not surprised given that the Governor Northam used it to advance the conspiracy theory he used as an excuse to infer with a lawful protest.

Well the point here is, who cares.

I don't give a hoot if they say shitty jokes.
Their violence is already a crime. Crimes that have a reasonable chance of them getting punished appropriatelyfor.
There's nothing left to do here.

Your perspective is a shitty joke best left in last decade.

I don’t think you understand what I’m trying to say. I don’t doubt that some might express their beliefs through jokes. I doubt that even a significant minority of people using this meme take it seriously. I doubt that even a significant minority of people being exposed to this meme take it seriously. And I doubt that a hate group that has serious intent on starting a second civil war and has the means to do so are going to express that solely through memes.
