If true, then we should just blame the leaders in violent extremism for being such bad role models; the ones that burn loot and murder at will, but have suddenly turned mostly loot under Xiden.

I grew up hunting with WWII and Korean War Vets. Never in camo, 20 and 12 gauge shotguns, most of the rifles were 30 caliber or 8x57, some larger.

I’ve never been a part of a “militia”. But spent a term in the Army Reserves. And spent 19 years running a Navy/Marine Corp MARS station out of my home.

Texas comes from Tejas Indians. The word means “friend”. Texas is friendly, but many of us are well armed and don’t like to be told what we “must do”.

Leave us alone to live our lives in peace and we will get along fine. If that is not satisfactory, we will deal with it.

Have no use for Leftist Liars. We will not put up with their nonsense. Nor those in the Media who support the internal Communist Dictators.

Some of them thought they would desecrate the Alamo. They did paint up one of the modern monuments. Thought they would come back the next night. They found they were going to lose that attempt and decide that they did not want any more.

It was not the local or State police, It was armed citizen groups, as far as I can tell, not so called Militia. It was quietly diffused.

There are people that the left will be smart to avoid. I've seen this before. Some of the left are not smart, but most of them are not brave and know what the price would be.

>> I miss the days when ‘Scientific American’ left politics alone...

Uh, Scientific American - IS - in the business of politics. It’s aimed at congresspersons. Has been for long time. It’s a lobbying arm for Gummn’t grants to the high IQ “we demands our rights” welfare groups.

Go read “Science”. The IEEE magazine, etc.

God, what an awful diatribe. Just conjecture, few facts, and spin, spin, spin.

Terrible.

“I miss the days when ‘Scientific American’ left politics alone.”

Me, too. Scientific American was sketchy in 1990 and then sold out today. In other news, there is no such thing as “Global Warming.”

What I see here is that maybe people in these meetings of “the militia” are talking more violently nowadays because the people talking the violence were planted in “the militia” by the FBI.

Zip Code… That’s your cohort. Well-regulated means trained, armed, and mustered. To not do that is denying the very thing that makes you a son of liberty.

Not so. She does mention antifa, blm, and similar activists groups… only in glowing terms and alleging our rejection of these groups and their actions to be both racist and delusional. She literally attempts to legitimize the idea of these groups militantly and violently taking over parts of Colorado as “autonomous zones” as if it were a real thing. How about let’s have red states become autonomous zones for conservatives and libertarians who are sick and tired of leftists constantly forcing their political religion on us.

Here’s a brief summary of her scientific findings:
Military bad.
Christians bad.
Patriotism bad.
Traditional values bad.
Constitution bad.
White men bad.
Donald Trump bad.
Citizens with guns bad.

She doesn’t argue these things. They are the tenets of her religion which she imagines to be some sort of science. They are her axioms. They are her dogmas.

Outright admits to redefining racism. Now asserting some cultures to be inferior is racist. Yet the whole article is an attack on traditional values and culture.

In her fragile psychosis, this woman is just a hair away from seeing all conservatives as Buffalo Bill saw his victims: “It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.”

The article is a not-so-subtle attempt to dehumanize us.

My mistake. Seattle, rather than Colorado, is where the supposed autonomous zones were.

Great assessment. Deep down, and maybe not so deep, people like Amy Cooter would gladly mass murder their political opponents. Any Cooter is a sick Marxist.

Science fiction from the Cooter.

RATs have made science into a joke like every other thing they touch.

‘In Michigan, people in one militia splinter group were arrested in 2020 and charged with plotting to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer in retaliation for a perceived failure to uphold individual liberties.’

This was an FBI recruitment and planned attack. The “sociologist” fails to mention this inconvenient fact.
