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.

There’s so many flavors of cracker.
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.
Philippi talked about operational security, including the need for disguises, the use of leather gloves (because latex and nitrile gloves can transfer fingerprints), wearing shoes that are too big, the need to burn their clothes after the attack, and not bringing smartphones on the night of the attack.
On Nov. 2, 2024, Philippi participated in a Nordic ritual, which included reciting a Nordic prayer and discussing the Norse god Odin. Philippi told the UCEs that “this is where the New Age begins” and that it was “time to do something big” that would be remembered “in the annals of history.”
Imagining this guy wearing Groucho Marx glasses with clown shoes, leather gloves on his hands, while reenacting the bear warrior ritual scene from The Northman.
lol the dude talking about opsec to strangers is so funny
OpSec is when I tell everybody about my OpSec!
Also, note where our man Merrick says how they found out about this guy - "Confidential Human Sources".
Fash have incredibly shitty opsec, as you'd expect from orgs where you can literally say "i'm a cop btw" and they immediately go
I read a book about the IRA that hammered on this. The cells where no one ever talked, ever, to anyone, survived and were able to operate effectively. The cells where anyone talked about operations died.
Most of the cells that did survive were made up of close family members or friend groups that had been tight knit for decades.
Do you still have the book?

Bandit Country. First published in '99, two years after Good Friday. Sounds like it just got a new edition this year.
Thank you

How does that work in practice?
Hello yes, one C4 please
A complaint is merely an allegation. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
lol
99% conviction rate. Nothing sketchy about that.
Also very funny that they waited until the weapon was activated, armed, and ready to fly. Like, guys, what was the plan if your patsy did a few modifications while your back was turned and set it up for GPS nav or something? Are you absolutely sure he was using your hopefully fake payload and not some other payload?
step 1. tell the FBI "all your plans", even let them "talk you into" upping the ante
step 2. suddenly do something else
step 3. ???
step 4.
Getting to the sting and being like
"gee, guys, it was really great for you to provide me with all the plans, weapons, training, ideas, and actually writing my manifesto for me, but i don't think this is what I really want".
Then just walking away...

Until your buddies jump out of the bushes with cameras and confetti and strobe lights and shit and you turn around and you're like "PRANKED!" hahahaha you're on tiktok bro it was all a prank! and then you high five all the FBI guys hten you and your buddies and the FBI blow up a federal building together.
If you tried to back out at the last minute still knick you for agreeing to the plan at some point. The FBI will arrest people who refused to participate but still glanced at some map.
Earlier this year another white supremacist woman also tried to destroy a power grid in Baltimore https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/maryland-woman-pleads-guilty-conspiring-destroy-baltimore-region-power-grid
what is it with these people and blowing up the power system, did they hear Lenin's "Communism is Soviet Power + Electrification of the Whole Country" and get real confused?
Real "Fight Club" mindset there.
Edit: Wait I just got the joke that's good I like that
Original post follows;
Nah, the US grid is actually incredibly fragile, like to the point where it's hard to believe how bad it is and how vulnerable it is to very inexpensive, simple attacks. There's lots of reading on it and it's full of statements like "Attacking these seven substations would bring down the power grid of the eastern seaboard for weeks". Just wild, wild, how the fuck is hardening the grid against attack and general failure not an S+ tier national security issue?
Here's kind of where it started. Back in '13 someone shot up a power substation in California and brought this all in to public awareness (and by "public" I mean the feds, the fash, and the tankies. I doubt anyone else knows or cares).

This country really is hanging by a damn thread. There's so many of these critical security problems that aren't really being addressed, with new ones emerging all the time.
Huh. Cool. Cool cool.
Hope Iran knows all this.
Pretty sure everyone does at this point. It's been all over the net for almost a decade now and there have been several reasonably high-profile attack attempts by Nazis over the years.

All the cool kids are working on cruise missile systems that you can shove in to a standard shipping container and launch remotely. Slap a few of those on to a giant container ship, get it to the coast, drop the US grid before anyone can react? Who knows, anything is possible in Hellworld.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
They like to fantasize about societal collapse to kick off a race war, and many of them have gotten it into their heads that a nationwide blackout is a good way to achieve this end. There's been similar plans among German Reichsbürger cells in recent years.
Reichsbürger
Is this what they call McDonald's in Germany?
jokes on them when the posadists turn out to be right and we build communism instead
Later we find out that the Fascists were secretly promoting liberalism the whole time (I know I know) because all their simulations showed that if they did an acceleration collapse thing everyone would come togehter and build FALGSC by the following tuesday.
100% chance the chud media has already called thus guy a communist.
was this near that at&t thing a few years ago?
