Multiple successful letter bombing campaigns have taken place in recent years. The most recent one was in Austin Texas earlier this year. Several people were killed.
These “antiquated” methods still work rather well and we’re not terribly good at dealing with package bombings, even those utilizing the mail.
Absolutely. Its part of what distinguishes them from your classic flavor neo-nazis (baring Illinois Nazis). While those guys had their “intellectual” figurheads, political class and political connections. In large part they operated as classic organized crime gangs and were heavily involved in illegal gun sales and drug running. Other white supremecists groups were more purely terror groups and had their IRA/Sinn Fein style political fronts. So too classic militia groups.
The Alt Right sees an offloading/rejection of the outright criminal element, and flattening of the rest almost entirely into the political end of it. Its what people are gesturing to when they talk about the new hate being more “respectible”. Of course its not anymore respectible. Its been built primarily as a normal political movement, from what used to be the political, “respectible” layer of such things. A genuine fascist political party/movement. Not a fringe group of seperatists, or drug gang, or secretive terror sect.
