I've been seeing a few documentary style videos on YouTube talking about the uptick in far-right groups in the US. One guy was able to talk to a former group member, saying for the past year or-so they've been "preparing" for a civil war. Another member said they had people intentionally join the army to try and get people on the inside.
Documentary bro tried to contact the FBI about it and was able to get in contact with an agent, but the FBI essentially said they wouldn't do anything about it.
Although I don't think a civil war is going to happen anytime soon, it's scary to think that the FBI doesn't seem to care about any of this.
Something something those that wear the uniforms (or carry badges in this case) by day are the ones burning crosses at night.
Someone should really write a song about that
So real, but at the same time most vets I know came out of the system leftists.
The vast majority I meet are right wing. Wonder what the difference is.
It's the company we keep.
Im liberal as fuck, but for some reason my lifestyle surrounds me with right leaning folks.
Day to day, they aren't bad. But holy fuck, bring up politics and they almost all go fucking sideways balls to the wall conservative, and forget that they're all felons....
It’s sad how so many that rebelled against authority and “the system” suddenly turn around and want to carry the riot shield to enforce it.
I'm located in the Northeast, and the lineage of "Military families" is exceedingly rare here. Most people I know joined up for economic reasons, and tested well enough to be in operational, engineering, and medical roles rather than any infantry.
A friend of mine joined as a right wing conservative (the whole Christian soldier kind of thing) and came out of the military pretty left. Then in the last few years he started slipping down the Joe Rogan slide and has been moving more right again.
