You're being way too charitable, it's because of race.

If it's foreigners hammer down. Mostly white Americans on American soil? So called "patriots"?

Well now let's slow down. Don't want to violate any rights.

I mean even think about it for second, the Jan 6 conspirators have it in their mind they're doing what it takes for their country, formalities be damned.

Sound like any other organizations you know?

Now whether these groups are actively promoting this for ideological reasons, or just trying to profit off of it is a question I am unsure of the answer.

When questioning the reasoning behind things, I find the reasoning tends to always boil down to money and greed.

Including wars - usually someone is making money somewhere and has a vested interest in keeping the war drums beating. Especially if you own an interest in both sides.


you're mad a private organization doesn't want to be associated with nazism, conspiracy theories or alt-right nonsense?

Ah, I read it as "foreign organized groups". I know it occurs elsewhere, but usually nobody bats an eye about that online.

Politically motivated organizations.

Looking at the comments here, the amount of badmouthing signal for arguments sake feels suspiciously like some organizations' motives.

Who are the main organizations doing that? It seems quite organized.

I think that most American non-local new organizations have the same issue.

Bloody hell, I am definitely losing the plot. The reason you feel that way is because a lot of other people do? You have absolutely no rationale or thought process for the disparities between organizations x and y except that people are mad at organization y and not organization x?

Part of the problem is that those organizations allow fascists to enter them. (Like many left wing movements allow authoritarian communists -- tankies -- to enter them.)

If a part of your platform is "No immigration" it becomes very difficult to distinguish that from "No immigration (because I don't like brown people)".


The organizations mentioned are all US orgs that focus mostly on US constitutional issues.

Am I missing something here? They’re outside the Overton Window, as any non-interventionist would be in America. But their funding and their membership are legit; it’s certainly not a front for China or some such.

Yes, I realize that. However, it is either political arm, as you wrote, or NGOs financed from abroad. Both are doing it for personal gain. But they are still minority, just very loud one and quite powerful one (not in the democratic sense, though).

However, what they are doing is showing great example to the undecided, who are waking up.


Who are the other organizations? You sound super sure, I feel like I missed a news story recently that you read.

They may have the whole 'we are everyone' thing going on, but there is no mastermind or organization. There are countless ideas such as this floated, but the only ones that actually happen are the ones that get a critical mass of people interested enough in them to participate and recruit others to participate.

Besides, the whole "we are everyone, don't fuck with us" thing was unrealistic. Do you really think that a government official wouldn't just notify the authorities in such a case?


I find it hard to swallow this group is not state-sponsored or, at least, wasn't hired by some state agent at some point.

Wow a trifecta of organizations I don't trust that actively work to undermine our democracy and rights.

See you're one of those guys that's ruining it.

It's just a cause, it's just a group of people with similar desires. It's no different than black entreprenuer clubs or jewish groups. They're not asking for a hand out they're just working together.


Firstly, yes, I was confusing the international versus american. My apologies.

Secondly, fuck you for that second statement (and somewhat implying that my morals are twisted). Those kinds of judgement calls are exactly why the Red Cross and MSF are apolitical. "Fuck those guys over there, they're -foo-" is precisely what these organisations area against, a core part of why they were formed.


Who do you think supports nazis or other extreme organizations? It's not like you wake up one day and realize you want to join nazis for the greater good. No, there must be some people organizing the whole thing, promoting, putting quite a bit of time and effort into it to attract members. And somebody has to pay for all of this. Often those somebodies are state actors or politicians that want to use those organizations for their own agendas. Like suppressing internet freedom, manufacturing consent and all that.
