A Year After January 6, Is Accelerationism the New Terrorist Threat?

[G Larry]

Far-right extremists are attempting to incite an insurrection to hasten the downfall of what they see as a deeply corrupt U.S. government. Some could resort to deadly acts of terrorism.

[G Larry]

The Left is working overtime to silence Conservative and nullify the Bill of Rights.

[Jim Noble]

The Bill of Rights and the rest of the 1788 Constitution is not going to put down the bolshevik revolution we are dealing with right now.

No liberal democracy has ever defeated a bolshevik takeover and this one isn’t going to, either.

[rarestia]

Just like every tyrant in the past, they’re doing it in the name of “protecting society.” History truly does rhyme.

Accelerationism?

You mean BLM, ANTIFA and it's White Liberal apologists?

[Skywise]

Not with that kind of attitude

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Far-left extremists incited an insurrection in the wee morning hours of November 4th, 2020 and stole the presidential election and only God knows how many House and Senate seats.

[BitWielder1]

Accelerationism is exactly what the left has been doing:
"Overwhelm the System" - Alinsky.

[Arcadian Empire]

Being certain that something will fail tends to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

[ctdonath2]

No other liberal democracy enshrined the right of citizens to own weaponry.

[Ransomed]

The first I heard of this idea was the lunatic Christchurch mass murderer’s manifesto. His whole point was to make the US react to mass shootings and enact draconian gun control/confiscation before a sizable % of the people would actually accept it. He figured America would be the only place where the people might actually fight over something in this era, namely gun contol/confiscation.

“No liberal democracy has ever defeated a bolshevik takeover and this one isn’t going to, either.”

Well, you’ve already surrendered. Me? I don’t believe in surrenders; I’m just not wired that way.

CFR, isn’t this where Half track, not brite serves her masters. This article should be printed and used to light the Home Comfort cook stove.

“This clash of competing realities, exacerbated by partisanship and amplified on social media, will continue to undermine government efforts to counter the domestic terrorism threat. The atmosphere today is ominously reminiscent of the period leading up to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing—the deadliest domestic terrorist attack in U.S. history. Then, extreme right-wing rhetoric was calling on so-called patriots such as Timothy McVeigh to defend their fellow Americans against a predatory federal government. Today, there are many more McVeighs out there, men like Pendley. Sadly, it might require another horrific tragedy like the Oklahoma City bombing before the U.S. government takes decisive action against this threat.”

[Zuriel]

Oh, yeah, I had almost forgot about that organization of pure and honest and humble and giving and loving and God-fearing people.

The ‘cfr expert’ columnist obviously hates a baby’s right to life, or he would not belong to or praise any individual freedom hating club like the globalist Council on Freedom Restriction.

[Robert DeLong]

Yes, after all, the hopium attitude is working so marvelously as we all can see. /sarcasm

[Chewbarkah]

If Hoffman and his ilk want to destroy “Accelerationism” as he defines it, they should work to eliminate the appearance, and gasp, reality, of election fraud in America. Simply outlaw the practices known to invite corruption, and implement procedures recognized throughout the world, such as:
1) free and fair elections;
2) clean voter rolls; all States must all obtain and timely share sufficient data to positively identify multi-state voters. Real punishment for voting officials who do not keep clean rolls, and for those who register and/or vote multiple times.
3) paper ballots, with images scanned then the digital images and the physical ballots stored safely;
4) honest, transparent counting, all conducted under the watchful eye of cameras and multiparty inspectors;
5) no giant vote counting centers where chaos and intimidation make inspection impossible;
6) no electronic voting;
7) no unattended drop boxes;
8) no vote harvesting;
9) only votes cast in accordance with established law can be counted. Illegally cast ballots are void for all votes cast;
10) no results can be certified until sufficient time has passed for proper resolution of anomalies.
11) Candidates must be assumed to have standing in State and Federal Courts to file suits when they have evidence of voting fraud.

Make elections credible, and vast numbers of people will stop believing they are not. But that’s not the goal, is it ?

There’s hopium and there’s actual fighting back and then there’s loserism.

"The Left is working overtime to silence Conservative and nullify the Bill of Rights."

The left is silencing conservatives and nullifying the Bill of Rights in order to trigger the violent right-wing reaction they are warning about. As we have seen from the reaction to January 6th, right-wing violence plays right into their hands, which is why they are trying so hard to trigger it.

It becomes clearer every day that January 6th was a Deep State plot to incite some unstable members of the right into illegal actions which would be used to discredit the entire conservative populist movement.

Open borders, vaccine mandates, shutdowns, CRT, LGBTQ indoctrination in the schools, censorship, election shenanigans, and harsh treatment of January 6th prisoners (while showing laxity to convicted felons and common criminals and BLM rioters) are all prongs in the plan to raise anger to such levels that someone snaps.

Chuck Schumer announced it all in advance in 2017: "The intelligence agencies have six ways from Sunday to get back at their critics." He said this with an approving smirk, not with a sense of anger or trepidation. This signaled that he knew whose side they were on, and the absence of criticism in the MSM just underscored the point.

Yeah, what we need are more January 6ths - that really pushed us forward. /s
