Weltschmerz à GogoIn the wake of last week's indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), there have been a number of public reactions from prominent far-right actors across a pretty broad spectrum. I've written up a relatively short summary of some of those responses.
The short version is that the underlying assumption that they all share -- and that the indictment validates -- is that, on one hand, there is no real threat from the far right, racism and white supremacy aren't real, and political violence only ever comes from the left; on the other hand, groups like the SPLC and others on the liberal-left spectrum are committed to ratcheting up fear of the far right for their own political and financial benefit.
That theory is just fine for the people who are the most detached from consensus reality (people like Alex Jones and Laura Loomer), because they've largely been committed to the same argument for a long time. For them, groups like Patriot Front can only ever exist as "fed ops" that don't actually involve people who really believe what they say.
However, it doesn't sit as well with the self-identified white nationalists and other neo-fascists, who basically feel emasculated by the implication that their thoughts and actions are only ever allowed to exist at the discretion of liberal and left-wing entities.
Anyways, read the whole thing for details, if you're into that sort of thing.
