This is just a running laugh track of FBI bullshit. They found a Nazi, set him up with literally everything he needed to do a bomb attack from start to finish, then “caught” him the day before the election.
Also, note where our man Merrick says how they found out about this guy - “Confidential Human Sources”. Not spooky spyware or anything, dude just told someone who snitched. Nobody talks, everybody walks.
I salute our brave secret police and their ongoing campaign to catch guys they convinced to do terror plots in the first place. At least this time they actually picked a Nazi instead of a socially isolated mentally ill kid or something.
Why do white supremacists always take on the Nordic or viking aesthetic? There’s so many flavors of cracker. I guess there’s sometimes German, too, if they want to go full Nazi, but I see the viking shit more often these days.
That’s where a lot of it initially came from. Like, the proto-Nazis basically invented the modern conception of Vikings back in the late 1800s. And Vikings went most places white Europeans did so any can claim them. Part of the reason they’ve stuck with it might be vikings having an acceptably modern aesthetic. Men wore trousers, women wore dresses. Go too far in either direction you’ve got men wearing dresses again. But a lot of it just htat when Euros needed to make up a past for themselves so they could pretend that nation states were real the Nazis and English and Scandanavians all kind of picked “vikings” to be their thing so there’s a lot of lore and stuff b ehind it.
Oh part of it is also that fash thing that “vikings” weren’t Christian (read Jewish) and that pre-Christian norse paganism was a cool good manly religion unlike soft Jewish bad Christianity, so that’s a big factor in it. You see plenty of htem fixate on the Crusades, Teutonic Knights, or Charlemagne, or Rome, or whatever.
Honestly it’s mostly just incoherent tosh. I imagine a lot of them just imprint on to whatever their first fascist fake history youtube channel is and go from there.
