my most favorite game when i find a conservative is to ask them point blank:
are you a fascist or are you an anti-fascist? you only get to pick one.
and they squiiiiiiirm
I like asking to play a game of who can list more politically-motivated homicides for each ideology and conservatives strangely never want to play.
Another "lone wolf" that has nothing at all to do with the bog standard violent demagoguery of every single right wing talking head grifter I'm sure
What are you saying? This has nothing to do with the current republican party or their talking points!
Mohn also calls for the end of “all woke and gender ideology propaganda in schools and other public places
I'm sure it's a coincidence...
Mohn spouts several far-right talking points, including:
"America is rotting from the inside out as far-left woke mobs rampage our once prosperous cities, turning them into lawless zones."
" A fifth column army of illegal immigrants infiltrates our border"
Oh...
Decapitating a family member because there are men in your imagination wearing women's clothes.
Why is it always republicans?
Because conservatives have hyperactive fear and disgust centers compared to liberals. They really do feel these emotions in a way that non-conservatives do not. I have concluded that it is a mental disorder to be conservative--it's always projected insecurity.
It's the empathy differentiator. People with empathy self select towards one end. People without select towards the other.
It's ironic that if you proclaim to be communist or anarchist, they'll basically blacklist you, yet one of our political parties is also the largest organized hate group in the nation, and we just accept that as normal.
This dude LITERALLY pulled an ISIS beheading his father while basically giving the same talking points AS FUCKING ISIS.
Swatting, bomb threats, planting bombs, death threats, murder, mass shootings, election tampering, sedition, attacking government institutions. Let's call a spade a spade. They're a terrorist organization
This is not an edited photo. CPAC literally created and wore that banner of their own volition.
US doing a bang up job of curbing that far right terrorism problem. At least this one wasn't part of the armed forces.
This is a major argument for anti-fascist action. Liberal mainstream society has always been very bad at combating fascism because they desire calm and order and lawfulness which fascists can exploit. So besides "liberal anti-fa" using legal means like suing the KKK out of existence you also need autonomous anti-fa to prevent fascists from recruiting. That is why it's legitimate to prevent fascists from speaking using "impolite" means, because fascists speech using clever lies creates fascist thinking. The right to free speech has to exclude hate speech.
PS: A very good book on this topic: Fascism Today: What It Is and How to End It (link)
Another person driven to hate and violence by the republican party when all he needed was solutions from the left.
He sued the feds 4 times, including one time when:
Mohn "alleged that the obligation to make payments on his student loan led to mental anguish, emotional distress, financial strain, lack of savings, and debt, all of which allegedly impacted his quality of life."
-https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/justin-mohn-was-angry-he-couldn-t-get-job-as-overeducated-white-man/ar-BB1hyebP
From another source, decapitation aside, this guy does sound severely mentally ill.
"The video, reviewed by this news organization, includes a manifesto-style rant in which Mohn calls on his followers to take action against federal employees. It is titled “Call to Arms for American Patriots.”
After holding up what appears to be his father’s severed head, he says he now controls and commands “America’s police and military,” and calls for the execution of federal employees, and puts bounties on the FBI director, the Attorney General and the Chief Supreme Court Justice.
He rails against the LGBTQ community, the Black Lives Matters and “terrorist organizations such as anti-fa.” He calls for the seizure of federal buildings and says federal employees should be “publicly executed for betraying their country.”
This is what right wing talking points do to a motherfucker. These people are not well to begin with, and when they mainline toxic propoganda 24/7 they go absolutely insane.
Republicans are a threat to humanity.
While I don't disagree, this person was also quite clearly mentally ill.
Now who is it that keeps cutting support for... Oh right...
How much would fox news cover this if this was an Antifa / BLM person?
Oops, that doesn't happen because Antifa / BLM aren't remotely a concern to the FBI, unlike right-wing extremists responsible for the vast majority of political violence and murder.
Political violence has been perpetrated by the right wing extremists far, far more often than the left, yes. Totally agree with your point.
But I have to speak up: The FBI has tracked and harassed leftists and black activists in the past and I don't want anyone to think otherwise.
That's disturbing. That quoted bit of dialogue definitely has some grandiose language. Seems like yet another case where extremist right wing media fed into psychosis leading to a tragic outcome.
"Federal employee"
From the article he singles out the Post Office.
Was his dad a Postal worker?
Huh. Back in the day it was the postal workers who did the decapitating. That's why we call it "going postal."
Any one left of Reagan in 2024:
Someone with Reagan's exact politics in this day and age would be considered a left-wing woke monster by most of the modern right.
Dude did a lot of tax hikes and was against having capital gains taxes be separate from income taxes.
He did try to genocide the gays though and modern conservatives do like to genocide the gays.
Why is it the people with the crazy issues tend to gravitate to right wing conspiaracy?
You know what you get when you have a crazy left-winger? Someone with 50 cats and a lot of save the trees and Co3x1st bumper stickers.
"Mohn was arrested near a National Guard training center in Fort Indiantown Gap at around 10:00 PM, approximately an hour before a 911 call was made about 100 miles away by a woman who told operators that she found her husband’s head in their home. Police had been called to the residence earlier, around 7:00 PM when they found Mohn’s headless body after being alerted to the existence of the video."
Wait so the police show up at 7 PM and find the body. Then leave and come back when the wife found the head. Jesus that is fucked.
Trump should give him a medal. This is how a perfect Trump fanboy looks like.
Average Right-Wing behavior at this point.
What the actual fuck. These people are insane and a danger to society. The con movement is truly a cult.
I just want to take this opportunity to remind people how important it is to vote.
And also: Tell your Republican friends and Republican echo-chambers that if the whole thing is rigged as they say, then why should they even bother voting? Tell them to consider protesting! :)
