A neo-Nazi front group is demanding that New England secede and establish itself as a white nation. Decrying “enemies” that are “all around us” and vowing to defend racial “integrity,” the People’s Initiative of New England published a revolutionary manifesto on July 27 advocating “separation from the United States of America.”

    They’re not going to hold themselves to anything they’ve said, don’t believe them for a second that they’ll bow out of politics or not do more and more domestic terrorism. This whole thing is to move the Overton Window about accepting them little by little as part of the normal world.

      I mean it’s a fair point, but I still think it’s better to have them all out in the open in one place we can keep an eye on them rather than scattered throughout the country. The trick would be to string them along enough to make them think they’re getting what they want without actually giving them anything meaningful.

        Do you mean like telling them we’ll give them an island but it’s in Antarctica? That’s fine.

      Plus, they’ll just cry about how things suck there and want everyone else to help them. I suspect it’d turn out a little like Grafton, NH, where all the libertarians moved and were, you know, libertarian about things, and then the bears moved in. Suddenly, help from the state seemed like it might be a good thing.

      These dumbass nazis would create a violent “community” of trash people based on exclusion, and then be surprised when the violent trash turns on each other because they can’t survive without an out group.
