It’s ok guys, it’s not a trend or anything. White domestic terrorism is always lone wolf- oh
Should we make a new thread for every time an angry right wing chud is arrested for domestic terrorism or just use this as the mega thread?

Agree. The fundamental approach of misleading people has been here since the first newspapers of 1776. It’s the sophistication and VOLUME of information that you are subjected to every day that’s different. It’s scary effective.
Not only the volume, but the micro targeted nature of the misinformation.
I have zero doubt that cheeseweasel and hate and zork and all them get significantly different information than I do, that we work on a fundamentally distinct factual basis. Shit even @Wulaw Horn who at least makes a genuine effort to learn and internalize new information honestly thought that Obama was ripping nursing children away from their mothers breast like the trump admin has been doing.
There's a disconnect on real, honest, complete information these days. The shit show on surly is a symptom of that

Little surprise that you would run to capt taints defense. Like I said, posts all of the facts you want. I like facts. It’s the stupid commentary with said facts. And you both were the whiniest bitches on this board when those same stupid comments were directed at the rioters. You are amongst the biggest fucking hypocrites on this board.-

Me every morning. Then I get to go to work for another dose of incompetence and people just mailing it in because they don't want to quit during a pandemic.
I feel for you man, starting up surly to replace the shag years ago was keeping a great community going. And while this community definitely has rotten areas, goddamnit I've been on the shag/surly since I lived in fucking Jester West. This place is an institution. Or we should all be institutionalized.
You should turn on ads for non treefiddy, as long as they aren't page hijacking or autoplaying. You shouldnt have to contribute your sanity AND money to keep the lights on.
But I know I would be bumming hard if surly was gone. This place is a reflection of a big chunk of the Texas fan base - it's just that we are in a historically bad stretch of football and in the most destabilizing and uncertain period of modern times.
If you get section 230 protections yanked out from under you though, I couldn't blame you for turning the lights off
Edit: on a related note, I turned off my tree fiddy a while back in protest to the "wink-wink no politics in DT unless they're right wing" but my payment never ended. Can I get my tree fiddy tag back? Lol

Is the timeline in that quote fucked up, or did they really talk to MORE people after they suspected law enforcement surveillance?
nvm, the quote is shitty.
They did continue to increase the scope of their plans after they suspected feds. The affidavit filed by the feds gives a much more clear sequence of events

So what you’re saying is that you moved all of capt taint’s posts?
Lol, excuse me for posting the actual newsworthy events in this story. Sorry that you don’t like the facts?

this is the first time i've read through this thread. someone needs to explain to me how this thread belongs here instead of on the politics board. if i don't get satisfaction within the next half hour, i'm moving this shit over there or locking it. this is ridiculous.
This thread belongs in DT just as much as the rioting and looting circlejerk thread does. Current events are pretty fucking ugly, if you haven't noticed

14th person charged in alleged plot to kidnap Michigan governor
QuoteBrian Higgins, 51, of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, has been charged with material support of an act of terrorism for his "alleged participation in a plan of domestic terrorism that included storming the Michigan Capitol building and harming government officials," Attorney General Dana Nessel's office said in a release.
Seven other people, all associated with the extremist group Wolverine Watchmen, were charged by the state of Michigan last week, and the federal government has charged an additional six people.
"While the political rhetoric in our nation may at times be divisive, I am encouraged by the united front our law enforcement community has displayed in response to this indescribable act of terror," Nessel said.
"These were very credible and very serious threats to our elected officials and the public in general, and the swift actions taken by state and federal authorities this past week are nothing short of heroic," she said.
Higgins has been charged with "material support or resources to a terrorist organization," according to the arrest warrant.
Higgins is thought to have "provided material support and resources in the furtherance of terrorist acts," according to the affidavit.
Higgins provided his night-vision goggles for surveillance of Whitmer's vacation home and used a dash camera in his vehicle to record the surveillance "to aid in kidnapping plans," the affidavit said.
Those charged in Michigan last week are suspected of attempting to identify the addresses of law enforcement officers "in order to target them," Nessel said after those arrests.
They "made threats of violence intended to instigate a civil war, and engaged in planning and training for an operation to attack the capitol building of Michigan and to kidnap government officials, including the governor of Michigan," Nessel said.
Higgins and seven other individuals were charged with a total of 20 state felony charges filed by Nessel.
If convicted, Higgins faces up to 20 years in jail for the act of terrorism charge.
Higgins was arrested in Wisconsin on Thursday and will be extradited to Michigan, according to the news release.
Just look at all of these "lone wolves"!!

IMO "suicide drone" is a bit hyperbolic - it's more apt just to call them "swarm missles" since that's really what they are

@atomheartbevo just got my fat stack of HDD's - any recommendations on a plex box? I'm split between getting a synology DS 920+ and just building my own box. The synology software is nice though and it's nice not to be my own IT guy lol

correct course of action is at least 10 days of quarantine/social distancing after interacting with a COVID-positive person, this is a good opportunity to show how you can still campaign SAFELY while following health and safety best practices

The band needs to wear the alumi band uniform of khaki shorts, a burnt orange shirt, and a ball cap. Make it really Austin and embrace flip flops. The current band uniform is terrible.
I will fight you if you don't like the fringe and Stetsons. Rally uniform blows

LHB alumni here. Playing June 27 during the VY era was the most recent height of LHB. That and actual entertaining half-time shows. Amorphous sets on the field are...meh. Cacking down on the trombones playing BoneTell in all four corners of the stadium for alumni day is sad, too. We need to loosen up and fun needs to resurrect.
9 hours ago, wood said:Este. For the most part, the LHB stopped being entertaining many moons ago...imho. It's not on the band members. The band needs new direction imho.
32 minutes ago, Dr. Beeper said:Hopefully your idea of fun gets rid of The Wolf of Wall St bullshit. That is stupid, and our band is acting like a bunch of attention-seeking fuckheads. Nerds.
LHB alum checking in to say FUCK SCOTT HANA! He has been the driving force behind the lack of fun out of LHB going back to the Colt McCoy era, and became director of bands a few years ago. He's the guy pushing the wolf of wallstreet and other tired bullshit. Likes to do strong eyes on third down too, the dumbass
Don't defund LHB, but do get some fresh fucking leadership in the faculty.

Our country is separating migrant children from their parents to act as a deterrent to scare other people away.
That's pretty fucking far right my dude.
The overton window is extremely far to the right. That's why Biden, a centrist corporate dem, is being labelled as a radical leftist socialist by the republican party.
