And if Trump wins, she will be pardoned...

Somebody is about to lose her own personal race war in prison, lol.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Nah, people like this get picked up by the jail white supremacy gangs pretty early. She's gonna become a bigger racist in there

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Idk, man. There's a ton of deranged supremacists in federal prison and I'd imagine she'd be welcome within their ranks with open arms given the gravity of the conviction and previous charges. As much as I'd also like these people to have a really poor time in prison, even by the already shitty prison standards, the best we could expect for the public is just to keep these slugs away from any and all people and resources they could use to do this again. Our county is in a desperately poor state.

Edit: typos

For men you have a white power gang in almost every federal and state lockup. But because gangs like the Aryan Brotherhood are patriarchal institutions, women are not permitted to be full members. As such, when a female white supremacist ends up in jail, she is far less likely to find a group which shares the same political views.

When there's a power outage in your town and you have a sudden urge to go attack someone with a different skin colour.

Truly a feeling we've all felt. It's just a natural reaction.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The Indian family down the street is great, but when I can't cook a nice daal in my Instant Pot because the power's out then my racist jimmies are rustled.

I can fix her

Elon, is that you?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

More fun to make her worse.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 2 months ago (8 children)

Because power outage = race war? What is it with racists and incredibly stupid plans?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It all starts with the stupid

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

they are one bad day from snapping and going full KKK and they're all deluding themselves into thinking everyone else is the same way

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago

They all read a shitty fiction book (The Turner Diaries; you can download a pdf for free; please don't buy it because it contributes profits to racism) in which that's a part of the plot leading to societal collapse. Timmy McVeigh (OK City bomber) had a copy in his car when he got arrested.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

The didn't consult the underpants gnomes.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago

Part of the requirements for being racist is being stupid

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's a terrible plan, to be sure. I bet their thinking was something along the lines of creating an environment suitable for looting/rioting, along with police brutality to follow, all in the hopes that racial tensions in the region play out in their favor.

Of course, they completely ignored how things went when hurricane Irene knocked out power to the region. Spoiler alert: it wasn't fun but folks were generally okay.

And people didn't start turning against their neighbors- in fact the opposite happened and communities generally became closer than before, regardless of insignificant things like the color of their skin or where their grandparents were born.

Reminds me of that big NYC blackout. The news was covering it like the whole city was going to fall into chaos with neighbors attacking each other and everything. Mostly it was just people chilling in the dark hoping to get their power back as soon as possible.

Too much TV and not enough non-white people in their life

She was previously convicted of robberies in 2006 and 2016.

Damn immigrants, they're criminals, oh wait...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Uh… eighteen years is a good start, but she’s only thirty six. I don’t want a racist domestic terrorist to ever see the light of day again.

The funny thing about disasters is that they tend to bring out the best in people. Read Solnit’s A Paradise Built in Hell for a good survey of the phenomenon. Elites tend to panic and get the rest of us killed during a crisis while we the people are unfucking things cooperatively.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Ooo I know:

Evolutionary speaking, it makes sense to compete within your own species when times are good, cause there is no threat to the survival of the entire group.

Conversely, when times are bad and the entire species is threatened, it’s best to cooperate as much as possible instead of compete.

Checking this out based on your epic summary alone.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s a great book. I listened to the audiobook from the library.

I was introduced to the concept from the Behind the Bastards episode “Elite Panic” which is a great introduction to the topic and my favorite BtB episode of all time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No shit? All time? That’s quite the compliment! I don’t recall if I’ve listened to that one, I have most of them, but I’ll have to go back and check. If I haven’t listened, I’ll queue it up!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

That might be a bit hyperbolic. It is a really good one but the adventure park one is the best episode based on how funny it is. And the little Nazis one is probably better in terms of content. But it is a really good single episode that I recommend to people that is eye opening.

18 years isn't long enough
