Time: Right-Wing Militias Are The Real Threat To Cops

The reason the KKK and White Citizens Councils were such a nightmare was because they had the support of the democrat establishment at the time. Those two groups really were evil. But to compare the past evil - with the power of the State - yes back in Jim Crow days members included city council members, sheriffs, etc. ... again to compare that to what we have today - 7 misfits from George's Corner Gas Station - and to act like those people are the equivalent is nuts.

A woman named Arnett... or something close to that - I'd have to look it up... wrote about the Nazis in Germany. She's the person who coined the term ' the banality of evil'... What she discovered was the power of the Nazis was NOT that they were individually evil - but that they were cogs in a large German bureaucracy... some bureaucracies collect taxes, some kill Jews. They thought of themselves as nice people... even had 'rules' against guards individually torturing Jewish prisoners. All very proper - considering they were the worst mass murderers in the history of mankind.

The groups in our day that are a threat are the organized members of the 'in' group.

So yes, the Southern Poverty Law Center 'looks' good on paper - but they're fighting yesterday's evil - and evil that's been defeated and everyone's primed to fight. And in that process they have become part of the new evil that must be fought...They've defined themselves by their tactics..

Does it ever seem odd to you that neither side - good or evil - ever gets a total win?

Well, to be honest, it is hard for some people to resist the porn on HBO, so that might be part of it.

Back in the 1990s, you had militia groups such as the Rocky Mountains Militia, or the group that Timothy McVeigh belonged to. I am still trying to find information about any similar group rising domestically, doing activities such as bombing the Olympics, and really prominent recently. It’s seems a lot of what goes on now is some kid or adult going on a mass murder/suicide spree.

[Morpheus2009]

The real power that the KKK and other groups had was the backing of power officials (judges, city council, etc) and politicians (congressional). Once that faded, the actual power faded as now the members of said groups were now prosecuted and open to prosecution without the support that they once had, they toned down immensely with that change. Now the real question now is, what groups are heavily favored by the public officials to the point of being less susceptible if not immune to prosecution? Those ones are, IMHO, the most dangerous.

That's how it works, alright. If 5 guys from Joe's Garage think of themselves as scary racists... they're a joke. But if they add the ‘KKK’ moniker people fear them. And for nothing.... without the power of the establishment they might as well call themselves ‘Monsters of the Universe’... equally stupid. Equally a joke.

When Nazis were in power they were the ‘in’ crowd. They thought of themselves the same way liberal elites think of themselves. Grubers - better than the lowly lesser humans around them. Lois Lerners with their noses in the air... Jim Crow racists were the same - they ruled the roost and never questioned their superiority. They WERE the establishment. They were evil.

My concern is liberal elites. They've got the group-think, the attitude of superiority, and the arrogance of power. They're the ones to watch - and watch out for...
