Shall we see how the revelation of their IRL identities affects their prospects? I certainly hope the publicity doesn’t cause them to be persecuted and demeaned or anything! /s

More evidence that white supremacists aren’t particularly supreme.

You’re not necessarily wrong.
A useful idiot may be an idiot, and yet still manage to be useful…

In other circumstances (not saying this case is an example) it sounds like a good way to (oops!) leak information you actually want people to believe.

You should really read the document:

My favorite highlights are:

Lifetime membership after level 2. (They have levels.)

Section 2: Brotherhood for Life
Any person that has completed the second degree of initiation for the Fraternity becomes a brother for life, except that he may be expelled for good cause as provided for in Section 6 of this Article V (note: bold emphasis mine)

If cereal is not a code word for something else, then this is beyond weird or we are being larked.

v. Immediately after reciting the Fraternity Creed, the supervising brother shall instruct to probationer to name five breakfast cereals. At that time, the five brothers surrounding the probationer shall begin punching the probationer only in the arms and torso area of his body until such a time as he recites the names of five breakfast cereals. The supervising brother shall count the cereals aloud and the punching shall immediately cease once either (a) the fifth breakfast cereal is reached; or (b) the probationer indicates through words or actions that he is unable to continue and wishes to withdraw from the Fraternity. … (note: bold emphasis mine)

Nah, it’s the dregs of the movement that make up the street thugs.

The successful fascists are in the Senate.

Both… I have several and the use of wordplay triggered my compulsion of consulting them all at the same time for the true meaning of words.

Surely it’s code for something vile like … I dunno, famous nazis. White supremacy has always been fond of codes, this would be in line with that.

Oh, FFS, that’s “hand in hand”. What is it about right-wingers that makes them so ignorant of the conventions of normal idiomatic English?

In this particular case, it was left wingers.

But I’m willing to ignore the occasional grammatical slip on a protest sign.

Nice of him to announce his intent to assault. This leads me to question his legal bona fides.

Does it have to be a continuous activity? Because if not, then I guess I probably started a life long wank as a youngun…
