The Oath Keepers

Post by Flex »

Fascinating article: http://amconmag.com/article/2010/may/01/00035/

Don't know much about the group, and I'm about to step away from the computer so I'm not writing much up right now, but this seems like a fairly interesting topic. The folks' stated principles seem pretty good to me, but I'm willing to hear counter-arguments from the SPLC side.

So, anyway, if you watch some of the "testimonials" at the Oathkeepers website, a lot of the members come off as "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?!?!" types. The organisational leadership sounds pretty level-headed, tho.

Their rhetoric is actually a lot more non-violent than your average keyboard commando tea partier, tho, which is pretty interesting.

I'm in your boat, so I can't really add much to the discussion. Any dyed-in-the-wool liberals want to chime in?

I don't really have an opinion one way or the other.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I've studied the phenomenon of neo-provincialism in self-isolating online communities but this place takes the fucking cake.

I thought the Oath Keepers were the teenagers who don't like to fuck.

Those are band kids.




Wait. No. Those are teenagers who desperately want to fuck but can't.

Yeah, not the ones who can't fuck because of their unfortunate appearance, the promise ring ones.

I don't know much about emos, other than they're funny looking, do they not like to fuck either?

I think most of them have just convinced each other that anal is not "real" sex :shifty:

Never heard of them, but after looking at a photo, my statement stands.
