The Base is emerging from shadows and ramping up its ranks as White House turns blind eye to the far right
An international neo-Nazi terrorist organization is boldly continuing to build in the US and planning a new paramilitary training event without fear of local authorities or the FBI, which once dismantled it in a nationwide effort.
The Base, founded in 2018 by a former Pentagon contractor living in Russia and now suspected of Kremlin-sponsored espionage, once boasted close to 50 stateside members before the bureau made more than a dozen arrests in a years-long counter-terrorism operation.
But since the presidential election campaign last year and what many then believed to be a surefire victory for Donald Trump, the Base saw an opportunity in a potential administration uninterested in policing white supremacy and went about ramping up its ranks.
Let them show themselves in the open. If its going to become this lawless might as well attack neonazis on sight. I refuse to accept them walking around my streets.
I knew I didn’t shave my mustache for a reason.
Hitler did
“To fit inside a gas mask” to be specific. Was a popular moustache style after/during WW1 because of that. Not so popular after ~1933 though…
When neo Nazi terror cells are actively training for acts of violence and making open calls for new members, the dystopia is no longer “boring.” It’s actively murderous and hateful.
Yet if there were a left wing, communist militias openly forming they would be stamped out immediately as “terrorists” or some other such label to send the state dogs after them.
