Very strange to see so many replies attributing this action to Feds. Y’all apparently know very little about the neoNazi movement in the USA, which has been constantly in open war with the FBI since the early ‘80s. When feds infiltrate Nazi’s, it’s bc they are *enemies*.

As radlibs, social democrats, and SEIU socialists circle the wagons around their shining star and once again become the party of order, subversives must continue to articulate an anti-system position, lest the right will remain the only force of contestation. No useless leniency

None of this constitutes any apology for the FBI, who is never on our team and has its own perfectly racist legacy in this country. But plz learn how to distinguish conservatism from fascism and neonazism.
