Lmao the devil’s chickens coming home to roost

Reminds me of this academic who wrote a book about how there was many troops who returned from the Vietnam War and were part of the new foundation of white supremacism that’s seen today, basically the “new generation” after the KKK’s heyday. She was also interviewed by NPR recently, though she wrote her book in 2018: https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2021/01/15/957421470/when-white-extremism-seeps-into-the-mainstream

Basically a “reap what you sow” situation where the US considers military intervention a valid form of regime change and method to force it’s ideology on countries, and the troops who are actually inspired by this(rather then disgusted, considering the few veterans who’ve become anti-imperialists/anti-war) proceed to try practicing it domestically. A considerably ironic situation, albeit also unfortunate for those who are at risk of becoming targets if these reactionaries one day manage to make headway, because they’re definitely going to keep persisting as long as the libs turn a blind eye to it and continue to feed the machine that produces these extremists.
