Justin Mohn, a 32-year-old Pennsylvania man, is in police custody after allegedly murdering and decapitating his father, claiming the latter was a "federal employee" and a "traitor." Before his arrest, Mohn posted a 14-minute video to YouTube in which he displayed his father's severed head, proclaiming: "This is the head of Mike Mohn, a federal

But Antifa is the real danger, right?

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 129 points 6 months ago

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

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 26 points 6 months ago

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.

I would answer anti-fascist, but if someone asked me "Are you communist or anti-communist? Pick one" I would answer "neither"

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 28 points 6 months ago

You could pick either. There's no problem with having communist ideologies or being for capitalism.

There is a problem with fascism, it's not comparable to communism. A closer example would be asking someone if they are a racist or not.

We should be taking a hard line at certain ideologies and anyone that hesitate is suspect imo.

Compulsory alliance is sort of a core feature of fascism so you really must be either fascist or anti-fascist.

If fascist government is in power, it will creat a system in which non-partisan participation furthers and advances the fascist state, so one cannot “opt out”. Since a fascist system won’t entertain neutral, the question “Are you fascist or anti-fascist? You can only pick one.” Is not inherently disingenuous.

Communism does not force people into supporting it, there “neither” is an acceptable answer to “Are you communist or anti-communist” in a way that cannot be applied to fascism.

Well, Communism doesn’t force participation as long as you don’t ask the tankiis, but fuck the tankies.

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

[-] LordOfTheChia@lemmy.world 71 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

Yikes on bikes. I'm guessing this is yet another person that probably should've been in a mental institution instead of alone, ignored, and getting suckered into the alt right pipeline. Surely the level of violence he exhibited is pathological.

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

Why is it always republicans?

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 47 points 6 months ago

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.

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."

I'm sure the far-right is desperately searching for something "leftist" to pin on him while simultaneously applauding him in their seedy little Nazi chat rooms.

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.”

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.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 45 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago

Yeah definitely a mix of mental health and too much propaganda. In the quoted portions he is clearly delusional. He tells all postal workers that if they don't quit and join their countrymen he can't promise protection for them. He may have done something like this anyway but clearly the anti Biden message has resonated with him.

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.

"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.

...Mohn spouts...

The federal government of America has declared war on America’s citizens and the American states. 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, and if the traitorous Biden regime is successful in sending America’s military overseas to fight for Ukraine and die in a Russian winter just like every other military who has ever fought Russia in the winter, then America will be less protected when the fifth column of illegal immigrants strikes Americans on our own soil. …

If you are a federal employee and are listening to this message, now is your last chance to resign from the side of the traitors and join your countrymen in taking back your country. … I urge the U.S. Postal Service to suspend their services at this time, split from the federal government, and join your countrymen, or else I cannot offer federal postal workers any protection. If the media begins to spread lies about this revolution and its patriots. Then I authorize the targeting of news stations and their owners and employees as well. The hunting, capturing, and killing of America’s federal employees will not stop until Americans’ demands are met.
