Study Disproves #ResistanceMedia and Democrat Propaganda That Military People Are Particularly Likely to Become "Domestic Extremists"

Just because Biden claim this to justify purging the military officer corps, and the FBI agent corps, of conservatives, doesn't make it true.

Veterans are less likely to support far-right or far-left extremist groups than the general public despite increased attention, particularly from Democratic lawmakers, on current and former military members' ties to extremist organizations, according to a study released Tuesday by the RAND Corporation.
Among a survey of nearly 1,000 veterans representative of the national population, RAND, a nonprofit firm that conducts research for the Department of Defense (DOD), found no evidence to support the notion that veterans are more likely to support or be a part of extremist groups than Americans in general. Concerns that extremist groups may single out veterans for recruitment into their organizations, and the seemingly disproportional representation of veterans among the Jan. 6 Capitol protesters, prompted calls to investigate and address a perceived problem of extremism in the military.
"Given the anecdotal information about extremist group recruitment preferences and their active targeting of veterans, we would have assumed that these reported prevalence rates would be higher," Todd Helmus, a senior behavioral scientist at RAND and the study's lead author, said in a press release.

Why would you assume that anything The Regime says has a foundation in fact?

Researchers suspected that extremist organizations could prey on active duty and former military members to bolster their legitimacy and take advantage of the skills and training military service affords, according to RAND. In addition, military members are more often white and male, factors associated with membership in right-wing extremist groups, and more likely to seek out the type of fellowship found in a tight-knit organization.

I seem to notice that one is permitted to make racialized attacks on whites which would never, ever be countenanced if these statements were made against blacks.

It is utterly beyond question that black males engage in violent criminality at huge rates. But even though every FBI report on criminal statistics proves this, you're not allowed to say it, and you risk deplatforming or debanking by noting the truth.

But white men? You can take "anecdotal reports," spread by leftwing racial arsonists, and just assert without evidence that they're eager to join "right-wing terrorist groups."

"Those initial reports spurred a lot of fear and concern," Helmus told NPR. "But no one's actually looked at the numbers."

You don't say. You mean they just made up a smear against a race they hate without any evidence to support it?

You don't say. You don't f*cking say.

In January 2021, after the Capitol riots, 15 Democratic lawmakers pressed the DOD Inspector General to root out extremism in the ranks in a letter.

I can't wait for the Counter-Purge.

22 The Biden Administration just put out a new document on how to combat antisemitism, with a whole bunch of recommendations.

Curiously, expelling The Squad from Congress was not on the list of recommendations.

You know what was on the list?

One proposal that, if enacted, could be particularly far-reaching — and controversial — is a call for Congress to pass “fundamental reforms” to a provision that shields social media platforms from liability for the content users post on their sites. The plan says social media companies should have a “zero tolerance policy for hate speech on their platforms.”

Guess who gets to define what "hate speech" is.

You have a point there. The enemedia believes poll numbers before they believe election results, because they know the elections are utterly corrupt.

And the White Supremacist Science uses maths and other non-inclusive metrics for determining population so it too must be corrupt.

There were small pockets of fighting, but it didn't even rise to the level of several dozen "mostly peaceful" demonstrations from the year before.

The left love to say everyone was there to overturn the election, but I'm still confused how that's supposed to work. The most cogent argument I've heard is something something kidnap Pence, something something electoral votes.

We have several crises brewing that resemble the era before the Civil War began. Basically, the Whig party shattered in just a couple of years after they won the presidency for the last time over slavery and its spread. A guy named Abe Lincoln was elected to his only term in Congress a couple of years before the lights went out on the Whigs. A mere eight years after the Whig party fell apart, Abe was elected president.

83 I have pretty much concluded that the GOP as a party itself is incapable of reform. Far too many of them are in fact Democrats that don't like their income or investment taxed and a lot of the rest of them are eager to make a buck off the backs of the American people.

Old and Busted:
Democrats hate America, Republicans have no love for America

New Hotness:
Psychologically, Republican politicians dope among the Dark Triad†, Democrats add Sadism to reify the Dark Tetrad

89 I worry that the plan for the countering the weaponization of government is to pass some laws against using the power of government against political foes AS IF THAT DOES NOT ALREADY EXIST.

But anyway, the GOP will do that instead of saying "hey, we are going to give you a taste of your own medicine. Say when. And THEN, when we agree that we won't be doing this to each other, let's enact some legislation."

The key is tit for tat. Because we need tats for our tits.

"About the Declaration there is a finality that is exceedingly restful. It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary." - Calvin Coolidge

158 Procreation- SEX- is the 2nd strongest animal instinct after survival. How can a person be 'proud' of getting that wrong?

It could be that male homosexuality is some sort of sociological solution to overcrowding - basically you take some percentage of males out of your breeding pool so there will be more resources for the offspring of thee males that do breed.

If that's the case you'd expect more homosexuality in crowded locations (which historically means there aren't enough resources) which...lines up. And we know living in a crowded urban setting literally drives people crazy.

Want a better picture than the FBI's stats, go to the National Criminal Victimization studies--huge annual surveys of all crimes reported and unreported. This is also where scholars even the anti-gun ones, found that at least 800,000 times per year, perhaps up to 2.4 or 2.6 million defensive gun use was used to thwart crimes by potential victims. In an overwhelming number of instances, no shots were fired and no one was injured by this gun use.

Growing up in Boston we had frequent school trips, they did that back then, to Revolutionary spots. I assumed as a kid that the colonies were united in their revolutionary fervor. Wasn't until I had a teacher in jr high that I realized how small and mostly unpopular the revolutionists were.

Americans are by and large a tolerant people but they don't like their freedoms infringed on. Not all of us anyway. Things that can't continue won't. Just a matter of when.

At first it was a simple non-pattern assassination, but then dealing with the high-level investigation.

The utter disdain that the King and Parliament as well as most of the elites in the UK expressed toward the Americans came as a shock--even to the colonial elite class that hobnobbed with the British officials.

If you want a better Science Fiction view of Spooner, (and Rothbard) look to L Neil Smith's Confederacy books, but on the whole, Spooner treated the Constitution as a legal contract, with a contract's specific definition of who carries the obligations to perform and strict interpretation of the language.

I am a bit more suspicious, I think the watered down Marxism is designed to lead us to rule by the wealthy elites who are trying to change nature in order to live forever (or at least a lot longer than currently). The most common reason to get a tyrant is to replace a corrupt aristocracy (mockingly called meritocracy by the upper class). To repress them, the common people give absolute support to tyrants because it is easier to be ruled by a few than a whole social class.

Dredd Scott was a terrible decision by the facts of the case, as Congressional laws and practice gave a clear answer to the case, and a 'no standing' rule could also be applied as Scott had voluntarily returned to a slave state and slavehood by current ideas.

Using the court to overturn some 50 years of slavery compromise in Congress was politically stupid, and a direct attack on the recently organized Republican Party that advocated non-extension of slavery. The fact that the result was leaked to the Democrats just made the situation even worse. And the result broke up the Democrats in the north.

The highest estimate is that no more than 45% of colonists supported the Revolution and roughly 30% fought for or supported British. It was close to a wash. And that was after years of tyranny.

Not to quibble about numbers but the point is the mythology that every colonist was a huge supporter of the Revolution is just that, a myth. There's a reason revolutionists planned their revolt in secret meetings. The Revolution might not have started at all on April 18, 1775 if not for an errant shot. Even back then there were many people making bank on the tyranny or too uninvolved to care and we are a much more pampered society today.

+++++++++++++++++

To be fair, for about 50 years prior to the late 1760s, the British government exercised a relatively light hand in the American colonies. However, 3 factors doomed the British and/or made it hard for them to back away from their hubris: 1. The Americans had a very independent, rebellious spirit, unlike people in their other colonies; 2. The British never fully appreciated the 3,000 mile ocean barrier in terms of SUPPLYING inland power, because most of their colonies were even more concentrated on coastlines and the Brits dominated at sea and close to coastlines on land; 3. The weakness of the British governing culture was they could not tolerate having their authority challenged which made factors 1 & 2 deadly for them.

I have seen multiple estimates that the breakdown was roughly 1/3 in support of revolution, 1/3 in support of remaining a colony, and 1/3 were ambivalent.

225 His veto statement attached to the bill of the rechartering of the Bank of the US is classic Andrew Jackson and his constitutional beliefs of separation of powers.

He wasn't wrong - its up to the people of United States of America and the states in totality to decide if the US Congress or the US President erred in their course - not the SCOTUS. Nothing in the US Constitution even hints at this power - they were a body of jurist formed to settle disputes among the states in the Union, period - which they now say they aren't even supposed to be doing, as with Texas suing Pennsylvania concerning the 2020 election.

The US Supreme Court should face a Constitutional Amendment that repudiates Marbury and returns this body to its original Constitutional duty.

226 2. The British never fully appreciated the 3,000 mile ocean barrier in terms of SUPPLYING inland power, because most of their colonies were even more concentrated on coastlines and the Brits dominated at sea and close to coastlines on land;

A book I read a while back on the French and Indian war added an interesting intermediate step in the process. During that war, after the early disasters the British army leaders worked out through wisdom or expediency a way of working with the colonial assemblies to get what they needed for the war effort. They'd work out what they wanted and let these governments figure out how to tax themselves and purchase what would be needed. Similarly with raising troops. It worked very well and the war was won.

After the war, the colonials expected to be treated the same way going forward. Parliament ignored them and tried recovering moneys via various means in the 1770s which caused consternation and resistance. The foundation of that was Britain in essence creating a right in the war and then taking it away unilaterally.

227 The leftist assertion that military veterans are prone to becoming radicalized, in particular becoming right wing anti American domestic terrorists, is ludacris. Why would people who voluntarily gave a good portion of their lives and then took a oath to defend the nation suddenly when they left the militarily abandon deeply ingrained and sincerely held beliefs. This makes as much sense as saying a Muslim having immigrated to Sweden suddenly becomes a Lutheran. This phony claim is about criminalizing the very people who have been essential to creating a national identity and social cohesion.

228 Years ago RAND did a study of DADT discharges (data, not survey of personnel discharged). The study was memory holed very quick. It found a huge number (over 80%) of DADT discharges were 'self reported'. Meaning "I'm gay, I don't like the military and want out but I want to keep my benefits". Also a large percentage of self reporters were also facing disciplinary action, so DADT became a get out of jail card. So be prepared for the regime to attempt to refute this study too.
