You also don\u2019t see the kind of scrutiny applied to those groups as you do to something with the slightest whiff of racial pride on the part of White people.<\/p>\n<p>At their heart \u201cActive Clubs\u201d are about activities as near as I can tell. To some extent they\u2019re about physical training and health versus sitting on your ass all the time, watching TV, playing video games, or being a keyboard warrior.<\/p>\n<p>To the right is an active club logo. In looking at this logo, I immediately see there\u2019s a lot I agree with. Weight Training, Boxing\/Self Defense, No ANTIFA, No Communism, No Drugs. I don\u2019t know what the Spray can is supposed to mean. But when an organization\u2019s logo communicates the organization is 83% in line with my core beliefs I\u2019m going to want to know more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I applaud anything that gets us off our couches.<\/p>\n<p>Especially when sitting on your ass all the time in front of the TV is a great way to get brain washed and indoctrinated \u00a0by a news media where the lies start pretty much after the words \u201cGood Evening, I\u2019m your host\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Let me be categorically clear. I\u2019m not a fan of anti-semitism, Neo nazi groups, or hate groups of any kind. I\u2019ve spent my life trying to avoid being \u201cThat Guy!\u201d You know, the White Supremacist everyone is afraid of. God knows where I was raised, I could easily have joined the KKK. But I believe that every human being has something to bring to the table and that we should learn from each other.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, I\u2019ve been taught as some cost that it doesn\u2019t really matter if you\u2019re a White Supremacist or not.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never had a white person, steal from me, I\u2019ve never had a white person threaten me with a weapon, I\u2019ve never been told to &#8216;leave a place or be beaten&#8217; by a white person. I\u2019ve never been surrounded and beaten by a \u201cPack\u201d of white people. I have experienced all of these things at the hands of non-white people.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never known any white person that did a smash and grab, or looted, or set fire to buildings. I\u2019ve seen this being done by mostly non-white people on TV.<\/p>\n<p>This is not to suggest that White people don\u2019t do these things, it\u2019s a statement of fact that my lived experience suggests I as a white person am far safer and less likely to be a victim of crime or engaged in crime if I\u2019m hanging with White folk.<\/p>\n<p>Except that nowadays it \u201cFeels\u201d a lot like just being a white dude who wants to hang with other white dudes\u00a0<strong>is<\/strong>\u00a0painted as somehow criminal, or that it\u2019s being a white supremacist. For fuck sake, just wearing a MAGA hat or expressing support for Donald Trump is considered by some to be white supremacist behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Going to church, being pro-life, expressing a dissenting opinion at a school board meeting, not believing or agreeing that there are 147 genders, <em><strong>and<\/strong><\/em> being white, can get you painted as a white supremacist. The fucking FBI has issued memos that in effect tell their agents to be suspicious of otherwise law abiding citizens if they express any opinion congruent with older accepted societal values.<\/p>\n<p>Proud Boys can trace it\u2019s origin to Gavin McInnes who suggested as a joke that we needed a group of men who were proud of Western Civilization and that civilization\u2019s values, and who were supposed to hold the line against the erosion of those values.<\/p>\n<p>Proud Boys, as an Idea found traction not as a white supremacist group, but as a Men\u2019s group who celebrated being men. The Proud Boys actually attended protests and rallies in this local area to help make sure no-one got hurt and everyone got to exercise their first amendment rights.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"Enrique_Tarrio.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/bone-in-the-throat.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Enrique_Tarrio.jpg\" alt=\"Enrique Tarrio\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\" \/>I continue to be astounded that some of the media calls The Proud Boys a white supremacist organization when the head of proud boys is Enrique Tarrio. Other media describes The Proud boys this way; the Proud Boys, a far-right neo-fascist organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Note the WikiPedia definition says Proud Boys is Neo-fascist. Which plays well with the observed behavior of the Proud Boys in their conflict with and opposition to ANTIFA. This characterization allows ANTIFA to be painted in a positive light and the Proud Boys to be painted negatively.<\/p>\n<p>I disagree with the characterization that Proud Boys are far right, or Neo-fascist. As I\u2019ve written elsewhere in this blog I considered joining Proud Boys. I wanted to join an organization where I could contribute to the local community and where I\u2019d be around other men who abjure the narrative that all Men are inherently evil, testosterone poisoned, misogynistic, rapists, that are responsible for all the bad shit in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Hillary fucking Clinton calls pretty much anyone that doesn\u2019t agree with her views Neo-nazis, Neo-Fascist (yeah those two are probably redundant), or if they\u2019re white, White Supremacists. She recently suggested that anyone who supported Donald Trump might be better off being Deprogrammed. So explain to me again Hillary what Fascist is???<\/p>\n<p>Thus far I\u2019ve not seen one single article investigating how someone becomes involved in one of these groups or how they somehow get roped into the dark path to White Supremacy.<\/p>\n<p>I rather suspect that I already qualify as a White Supremacist by the definition of the FBI. But I got here without actively trying. I actually feel like I haven&#8217;t moved in my beliefs, but society\u2019s stated beliefs have moved past me.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m old, white, conservative, I don\u2019t believe in more than two genders, I\u2019m Pro-life, anti-ANTIFA, and Anti-BLM. I\u2019m Pro-constitution, specifically the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments. I do happen to be gay, but because of all the other beliefs above, I\u2019m obviously a self hating gay so there\u2019s no get out of jail free card there. And to top it all off, I absolutely despise what the Biden Administration has done to this country. I think Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are both unfit for their duties and should be removed via impeachment as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI should be breaking my door down any moment!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>My point is, calling someone a White Supremacist, or a group White Supremacist, is as nonsensical as calling someone that you disagree with, a racist. It\u2019s almost meaningless because everything the left doesn\u2019t like or that appears to be a collection of people who have beliefs in opposition to the left, is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>(Check One)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Racist<\/li>\n<li>White Supremacist<\/li>\n<li>Fascist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s possible I might join an \u201cActive Group\u201d because I really could use some human contact and if that contact also meant I was getting fitter, or learning a new skill then so much the better. That doesn\u2019t make me any of the descriptors above.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I know I\u2019ll join one of these groups and along will come the Anti Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center, they label the group White Supremacist and presto just like that I\u2019m a member of an organization akin to the KKK.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, I think White Supremacists are built, they don\u2019t occur naturally.<\/p>\n<p>In my case, I could easily devolve. There\u2019s no reason to fight against being a white supremacist because no matter what, I\u2019m going to be perceived as a white supremacist because I\u2019m white, and conservative.<\/p>\n<p>So if there\u2019s no hope, no redemption, and no choice\u2026 I might as well raise a confederate flag and join Patriot Front!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The sad part is that reading Patriot Front&#8217;s manifesto, I can see a lot that fundamentally I agree with.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Our government is out of control<br \/>Our culture and society is being destroyed<br \/>Our People (Americans) are actively being divided and turned against one another.<br \/>We as a people (Americans) need to regain our pride, get back to work and remember what it is to be Americans standing together, choosing right over wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll have to read their manifesto in depth, I scanned it. I can say as a person that believes in smaller less invasive government, a quick scan of what Patriot Front is about seems interesting.<\/p>\n<p>I find this interesting because there was a time when I\u2019d have looked at organizations like Patriot Front as a bunch of lunatics right from the get go. But now, not so much. I\u2019m starting to wonder if organizations like this are actually canaries in the coal mine.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re composed of folks who are just more sensitive to their rights being abridged and more likely to scream bloody murder about it. Maybe these are the people who are just not wired to \u201cGo along to get along\u201d. Does that make them White Supremacists, or White Nationalists? I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>I do think a bit of American Nationalism would go a long way to getting the country back on track. The worry I have about that is that it\u2019s not a big step from pride in our country to asking people for their papers, and imprisoning anyone who doesn\u2019t have papers.<\/p>\n<p>Given what\u2019s been going on in the past decade or so\u2026 I\u2019m not even sure that asking people for their papers is a bad thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WIRED Magazine did a piece on something called \u201cActive Clubs\u201d the piece tacitly banged the alarm bell because the clubs are connecting using the Telegram App. Why Telegram you ask?
