In Canada, the Proud Boys are listed by the government as a terrorist entity.
Why can’t the US list declare groups as terrorists? Groups like Proud Boys, KKK, 3 Percenters, GOP.
@kendonnelly They're not a govt entity, but i think the SPLC listed them as terrorists, fwiw.
@Absinthe yes, SPLC has more guts than the federal government.
The US declares foreign terrorists, but not domestic terrorists.
GOP calls domestic terrorists patriots.
@kendonnelly I think there are too many elected officials in the govt, that use such groups as tools. I'd love to have them purged, but only the voters can really vote them out. *shrug*
@Absinthe unfortunately there are more and more of those elected officials every election.
@kendonnelly such alpha males 🙄
The Cdn contingent (which is where that particular institution of vapid skulls and fetid human ambition began) moved around. It's been a big hobby to track scuds. A big one.
Fkn #fascists. The whole 'lot.
And what do we do with fascists?
@kendonnelly the U.S. has no federal anti-domestic-terrorism statute. Guess which of the two major parties continues to block it?
@panamared is it the one that considers domestic terrorists its base?
@kendonnelly Right in one!
Shortly after they were declared terrorist entities, Proud Boys Canada disbanded and ran home to their mommies. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/proud-boys-canada-dissolves-itself-says-it-was-never-white-supremacy-group-2021-05-02/
