It's interesting learning more about these rightwing militias. They have a serious problem that is really difficult to overcome.

The leadership of these groups are usually straight up rightwing fanatic and are known in their communities that they live in as rightwing extremists. So these guys can't be doxxed because they're out and they're proud - usually.

But the problem is that the rank and file are just people who have to live among regular people who might think being a rightwing fascist, white supremacist are bad things. Or at least, not to be spoken about publicly.

So the rank and file have to risk everything while the leadership doesn't give a fuck.

We don't have the same challenge on the left. I'm more than happy to talk about what I believe with anyone. I have nothing to be ashamed of. It's strange to me though that we aren't more organized than we are. I don't think we need militias with fake ranks and titles and shit, but we could do better.
