White supremacist praise of the Taliban takeover concerns US officials
CNN Politics ^ | 9/1/21 | CNN

Posted on 09/01/2021 4:55:18 PM PDT by Bearshouse

As the United States-backed government in Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and US troops raced to leave the country, White supremacist and anti-government extremists have expressed admiration for what the Taliban accomplished, a worrying development for US officials who have been grappling with the threat of domestic violent extremism.

That praise has also been coupled with a wave of anti-refugee sentiment from far-right groups, as the US and others rushed to evacuate tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan by the Biden administration's August 31 deadline.

Would love to see the writer of this get visited while out at dinner with his wife and kids by some real live white supremacist.. They play captain keyboard and throw crap out to gaslight things they never have to deal with. By the way I didn’t read the whole article.

David Duke praises Rep. Ilhan Omar
Duke also had flattering things to say about Angela Davis, Louis Fairyklan and the Black so called Hebrew Israelites.

I posted it and didn't read it all. A person can only take so much.

“White supremacist praise of the Taliban takeover concerns US officials” How does this even calculate into a reasonable assessment?

They're gearing up for a full court press on the "White supremacist" and January 6th "Insurrection" story to try to push the Afghanistan debacle out of the news cycle as quickly as possible.

Especially with Joe Biden and Obama Generals being “woke” in charge of our military.

Technically it’s true if you read the Daily Stormer or these “Nationalist” (but actually communist) groups and their henchmen, like Robert Spencer (who voted for Biden!), but they represent, like, what, less of a minority than the 1% of queers in the population?

The “white supremacists” probably are jealous because the Taliban showed them how an insurrection is supposed to go.

Babble house bullshit. To whit:

“In the end, the gap between reality and ideology meant that the communist parties wound up spouting meaningless slogans they themselves knew made no sense. As the philosopher Roger Scruton argues, Marxism became so cocooned in what George Orwell once called “Newspeak” that it could not be refuted: “Facts no longer made contact with the theory, which had risen above the facts on clouds of nonsense, rather like a theological system. The point was not to believe the theory, but to repeat it ritualistically and in such a way that both belief and doubt became irrelevant… In this way, the concept of truth disappeared from the intellectual landscape, and was replaced by that of power.”
Anne Applebaum, Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe 1944-1956, pp 465-466

PSA - get a hard copy of this book in your library while you still can.

You know, I ran into the Black Israelites once over at the Galleria mall in Houston. They had a sign and were giving a loud, wild rant. No one was listening, just walking by.

Biden claims a record 100,000 evacuated. He forgets 340,000 evacuated from Dunkirk. This is only the second greatest surrender

Now they are claiming Trump supporters support the Taliban???

They really are insane
/\

Yup

That article was so full of mental and logical voodoo crap I’m still not sure WTH it’s even talking about.

White Christian racists trumpers cheering for Islamic terrorists against America?

Whaaaaaat ?

Yes, insanity IS the only explanation.

It’s like the author woke up in Joe’s mind , got lost and used Joe’s eyelids to blink out a message in Morse code that was transcribed by a dyslexic typist on lsd, then interpreted by a Freudian psychologist who writes hit pieces for “ how stupid can I be” magazine.

Wow.
Just wow.

"When one goes deeper into the neo-Nazi groups, you see some celebration of the Taliban, usually related to extremely misogynistic or extremely anti-Semitic discussion" . . . and then later . . . "It's really an anti-Muslim idea, anti-immigration idea.""

Good catch. These people who allegedly sympathize with the Taliban are actually anti-Muslim! That's like Trump somehow simultaneously being a treasonous puppet of Putin and an "America first" nationalist.

Still trying to figure out how they identify a White Supremist.

These are just regular nut cases.

ROFL!

CIA PsyOps via their wholly-owned SUBSIDIARY CNN.

Funniest thing I've read all day.. ALMOST as funny as Beijing Biden claiming his sloppy pull-out was a "SUCCESS!"

Afghans have been Caucasian since 1945. Yeah, I know Caucasian is obsolete. But we need a term better than “white”. Some whites I know are rather dark complected.
