A total of 31 Patriot Front members, including one identified as its founder, were arrested in 2022 after someone reported seeing people loading into a U-Haul van like “a little army.”

Idaho has a huge white nationalism problem and I doubt this made much of a dent.

Stick with potatoes, Idaho. At least those are delicious after you poke holes in them and put them in the microwave for eight minutes.

Funnily enough that's how I like my white nationalists...

You know, something I've been wondering lately is how many 18650 batteries you'd need to boil water with a jerry-rigged magnetron and beam focuser if you're 50ft~100ft away.

[–] Stan@lemmywinks.com 3 points 1 year ago

Lol batteries. Megatron uses energon cubes.

FTFY ~~AMERICA~~ the WORLD has a huge white nationalism problem.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I agree, but Idaho has an especially big issue there. White nationalists are trying to make it a mini-ethnostate.

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Idaho native here.

They operate through a nonprofit here in order to lobby for hate. It is an exceptionally huge problem. There's a dude not 40 minutes from the capitol city with a warrant for his arrest and a militia and the government is just letting him do what he wants.

Oregon and Idaho were specifically founded with racist ideologies in mind. Who saw a renewal in relevance and resurgence in the '70s and '80s.

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well, China doesn't; although they do have a huge Han-supremacism problem.

"someone reported seeing people loading into a U-Haul van like 'a little army' at a hotel parking lot in Coeur d’Alene"

That's all you need to know to see how safe these guys felt in their actions. It literally didn't occur to them to maybe hide all that, just a bit? FFS, when I'm loading up to go shoot at my camp, I keep it on the downlow. And this is a hyper conservative area.
