    Apropos of nothing, did we find out where those 40,000 missing weapons went that we shipped to Ukraine?

      Didn’t a bunch end up in western Asia in the hands of US-sponsored militias like ISIS?

    With Kiev’s army collapsing and a narrative of Western betrayal gaining currency, the horror inflicted on residents of Donbas for a decade could very soon be coming to a city near you

    So that could literally be the mujahideen scenario again

    Except this time they can even win elections

      It’s not even a secret that many far right groups have links throughout Europe and beyond. They are all connected and better prepared for fighting than the left wing orgs are.

          Most of us are broke, these fuckers are petit bourgeois and would gladly fund them

            This is our biggest problem, honestly. I was thinking the other day about how a bunch of less broke people should start buying lotto tickets whenever the jackpot is like almost a billion dollars or whatever it was last week.

          Hypothetically in Minecraft and without advocating for anything that could be construed as breaking the law in my country, we should be organizing our own militias and doing the same kind of weapons, squad tactics and physical proficiency training as these far right groups are, else we will be left holding the short end of the stick when shit hits the fan.

            Yup, we live in incrementally disorganized societies we shouldn’t be afraid of “infiltration” or getting persecuted.

    I, for one, am glad(io) this could never happen in MY country! [Insert Hexbear emoji here that makes everyone clap.]
