US far right seeks ways to exploit coronavirus and cause social collapse

Neo-Nazi groups in the US are looking for ways to exploit the coronavirus outbreak and commit acts of violence, according to observers of far-right groups, law enforcement, and propaganda materials reviewed by the Guardian.

The watchdog group the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) raised the alarm last week about opportunism from far-right so-called “accelerationist” groups who believe sowing chaos and violence will hasten the collapse of society, allowing them to build a white supremacist one in its place.

Late last month, the FBI warned such extremist groups were encouraging members to deliberately spread the virus to Jewish people and police officers. Similarly, British hate monitors Hope Not Hate warned these groups are expressing “gleeful expectation of social turmoil”.

With few public-facing social media services allowing white supremacists to have a reliable platform for their views, the propaganda effort to use the coronavirus crisis as a recruiting tool is mainly visible on laissez-faire social media platforms like Telegram.

There neo-Nazi groups have been affirming and welcoming the pandemic as a threat to liberal democracy and seeing it as an opportunity to grow their movement and realize their goals with acts of violence.

1. Pretty much . . .

But by trying to collapse society, a great many of them will die as well. Also, majority of USA citizens will overcome this travesty.

We will survive.

4. They don't see it that way

They will tell you quickly that "they have the guns."

Thankfully there is not a hell of a lot of them, and they are not very bright.

5. drumpf/Russian Repugs/PUtin is driving this far rw madness.

They encourage and support us dying every way humanly possible for the end of changing the country from a so-called liberal democracy to full on fascism. He takes the actions that both destroy the economy and our people at the greatest rate possible, ensuring states don't have the supplies they need to protect us. This whole thing has been him profiteering and killing us in equal measures. No test for 12 weeks while his and Jared's brothers co. tried to get a test kit out. 12 weeks nothing happened just so drumpf could personally profit and limit the tests to ensure maximum infection rates. That is still happening, there is nowhere in the uSA where people who are asymptomatic can get tested and that's the biggest problem, virus positive but symptom lacking carriers spreading this freely. They profit from the tests which sre the only ones approved to be shipped nationwide until Abbott's tests got approved this week. Bet he is getting a kickback from them or they wouldn't be going out. He's also grifting from the national stockpile, making states big up the prices for things that are already paid for and should be sent for free. But drumpf and Kushner gotta grift and hurt us and so they are doing a bang up job of destroying this country.
