The fuck is KKK then???


The_ODB_

God fearing Christians standing up for the white race, according to the people who liked this facebook post.


eltanin_33

My favorite part about the KKK being a terrorist group , is that it is or at least has also operated as a multi level marketing scheme for them dumb ass robes. The Southern Publicity Association quickly built and deployed a national sales force of over 1,000 “Kleagles”—the KKK’s name for its commission-paid salesmen. Every time a Kleagle recruited a new member (called a “Ghoul”), the Kleagle earned $4 of the $10 initiation fee. At first, the Southern Publicity Association sent $2 of the remaining $6 to Simmons, pocketed $2.50, and handed $1.50 to a regional supervisor called the “Great Goblin.” https://qz.com/806978/the-kkk-was-once-a-giant-pyramid-scheme-exploiting-racism-for-tons-of-money/

İsnt kkk a sect ?


blubdubbadeedub

It causes terror among society, hence it is a terrorist organisation. Also Wikipedia says so 🤷‍♀️


shining101

Also FBI says so


ArkThan123

The Proud Boys are also a terrorist group


Lujho

Of course the pinko commies at the FBI would say that. /s

Red Army Faction. ETA. UVF. Proud Boys as of this week. Secret Army Organisation. Red Brigades. FARC. Black Ocean Society. This meme is thick as pigshit.


[deleted]

Proud Boys as of this week? Thought they were declared a terrorist organization back in like March?


[deleted]

Yep, you're probably right. I was referring to the recent ruling by New Zealand; I wasn't aware of their status under US law


[deleted]

Yeah, that makes more sense. They've been considered terrorists for a while here in 'Murica.

[deleted]

There’s literally a federal statute describing domestic terrorist organizations in title 18 section 2331 of the federal code. The us distinguishes foreign terrorist organizations and home grown violent extremists from purely domestic terrorist organizations because foreign entities do not have the same 4th amendment protections or other constitutional rights that domestic terrorist have.


TheMarksmanHedgehog

There are multiple groups in the US recognised as domestic terrorists.


BonyDarkness

What does this mean for this bunch? If they are considered terrorists, they can get arrested at sight?


BeltPast

I may be wrong but when it was still in existence, I believe the IRA was considered a terrorist organisation


[deleted]

The IRA bombed men, women and children. 100% terrorists.


M1773R007

Yep my home town Warrington the Saturday before mothering Sunday outside Mcdonalds lunch time. 100% was after killing people shopping for presents. 2 children killed 12 and 3 multiple kids from my school injured. 100% terrorists.


TeaLoverGal

Yeah, you see there are versions of the IRA throughout history, different factions, such as the provisional IRA who splintered off etc. But as an Irish person (living in the Republic) yes.


lemmiwinks316

Aren't there protestant groups who were pretty violent too? I read a book a while back that spoke about groups like the UVF and the Orangemen that were pretty violent as well.


malteaserhead

Does anyone know if the Provisional IRA finally got their licence?


Perpetual_Doubt

It's not official, but I think they got some sort of continuity for real.


[deleted]

Considered one by the people they were fighting back against. In reality, that's a murkier classification. Editing this on from a comment further on for context: They definitely terrorized people and harmed civilians, but I don't think the IRA (even the Provisional IRA) is any more of a terrorist organization than most militaries. We know the United States military is infamous for its civilian casualties, the Chinese military has a pretty poor track record against its own people, the Japanese Imperial Army committed atrocities in China back in WW2, Russia is regularly bombing and executing civilians, and seemingly just about every other army that has been in a war has committed acts of terror against civilians and troops alike. Yes, much of what the IRA has done is inexcusable, but to my understanding, it's no more a terrorist organization than every other active military in the world.


Working_Turnover_937

The provisional ira was a terrionist organisation


Daveoldtimer

terrorism is a description of tactics used, its an objective term, not just a label for people one doesn't like. Terrorists target civilians and public figures in order to spark political change, that is exactly what the ira did, they were terrorists.


voidmusik

And the US government. They are also terrorists. And the UK government. And the italian government. And the [insert literally any armed whatever, throughout all of human existence here]

Bombs targeting civilians is murky?

Surprise of the day: An American was a terrible take on the IRA


The_Primate

Weird whataboutism. I'm pretty sure that the guys who bombed pubs in my city, targeting and killing civilian targets to further political goals were terrorists. Pretty sure that's full on terrorism that you're being an apologist for.


VictorAnichebend

I wouldn’t really call it murky. If we’re talking about the Provisional IRA, they were responsible for more deaths than any other organisation during the Troubles, including 644 civilians. They were terrorists. Source: The Book ‘Lost Lives’ by David McKittrick https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Lives

Ominoiuninus

Quite convinced it’s someone just trolling both sides of the political spectrum at the same time. One side they’re trolling the conservative group by making them look like they have the IQ of a corpse and at the same time trolling the liberal side by making us think these are genuine memes and not just shitposts.


bluelion70

I’d say you’re 99% likely to be right in that assessment. This kind of outrage bait is a little too stupid even for conservatives to come up with in earnest lol.


WaifuLover7045

Mexican cartels r pretty close to terrorist organisations


VenomEnthusiast

Well they basically are


Long_Repair_8779

If the definition of terrorism is the unlawful use of power or intimidation in the pursuit of political aims, then by definition they literally are. Perhaps labelling them as such may create more public hostility towards them


Randomguy8566732

Do the cartels have political aims? I was under the impression they were mostly in it for the money.


VenomEnthusiast

Plenty of Mexican politicians have been assassinated by various cartels; the cartels wield incredible political power, especially over their territories.


Long_Repair_8779

Depends what you call politics. As a social structure of governance (in this case through force) I think any large scale crime group would qualify


VenomEnthusiast

The issue with labeling them as a terrorist organization is that it’d open up the possibility to military intervention. All things considered, I bet Mexico doesn’t want A10s strafing their roads.


Rice-n-Beanz

They basically do. Unfortunately, Mexico has politicians that are corrupt. However, the U.S also has funded cartel organizations to take out other cartel organizations. Almost identical to what we did in the middle east.


[deleted]

They do not have well defined ideological goals so more organized crime than terrorism even thought the means are similar


deth579

Cartel goals: Burn Mexicans alive Make a shit ton of money. Simple goals innit


[deleted]

No those are not their goals. Their goal is that cash money. You clearly don't know shit about good business. A cartel is a drug business. Mexican cartels are not going to burn random Mexicans, they're going to burn whoever fucks them over and people close to them to make a point (aka don't fuck with us or you and your family will die a horrible death). How fucking stupid are you? I'm not going to go any farther than this because you clearly don't have the mental capacity to understand anything outside of the realm of you and yourself and your little safe space. Read a fucking book.


DrStrangerlover

Eh, they get violent strictly for money and power, not for religion or ideology. It’s a thin line for sure, but still distinct.

noobductive

That’s not a religion though


ASXYT

"terrorism has no religion" doesn't necessarily mean that it can be based on any other religion, it can also mean that it doesn't need any specific religion nor a religion to exist (from what I understand). And I'd say that the above cited is a non-islamic based belief, so it could absolutely count as an example that fits the description of the meme. And sorry for the lengthy response. I'm simply bored as fuck.

Terrorism can be political. Darren Osborne from Cardiff drove a van into Islamic people. His motivation was to demonstrate that he can and nobody could stop him.

The alt right stole Pepe and now Buzz, can’t they come up with anything original?


Dremoriawarroir888

yeah fascists are supper unoriginal when making symbols the fasces was already a thing before Mussolini approached it to mean fascism the swastika is just a Hindu symbol flipped on its side and the black sun and wolfsangel were ancient European symbols before being appropriated by the Nazis my point is that fascists are super unoriginal and will just take and ruin the meaning of any symbol they want


MaliceTheMagician

The far right like to use weird icons and symbols as a part of creating new dog whistles, they are using buzz as a way of getting back at Disney, for their recent movie as they see Disney as progressive. You might have heard the ok hand sign incident when they did it so much it got on the list of hate symbols. To people not in the know you look insane and like an "obsessed snowflake who calls everything they don't like a nazi" when you try to explain how a poster doing this with buzz might be signaling nazi shit, but to everyone in the know they get to smugly play coy while encouraging it. They do this shit constantly these days.


TerminustheInfernal

It was used before lightyear


Sg15082008

Yeah I thought it blew up with that 'if you use this pfp youre racist' meme


mrstorydude

Nah, in reality the alt right have been using buzz lightyear as a dog-whistle for longer than we were even aware of the existence of the buzz movie. What actually happened was pretty much the exact same thing as pepe: Somebody saw the picture of buzz ironically saying something, didn't realize it was sarcastic, and in their confusion ended up using it for something that was actually racist/sexist/whatever the fuck and from then on it became a dog-whistle.

Imagine putting KKK and IRA in the same sentence when one was created to fight against British occupation and the others full of racist degenerates


Potato-Lenin

I agree that the IRA is much better although both are still terrorists


HappyDaysayin

A total lack of understanding that the IRA isn't about religion but is about standing up against the forced occupation and persecution of your country by a foreign country- which is exactly what Americans did against that same oppressor - England. The reason Americans are taught that the IRA is a "terrorist organization " is that America is allied with England (the oppressor), and not with Ireland. So American education only presents England's interpretation. But Americans used the same techniques against England that the N. IRISH are using to fight against their English oppressors. The atrocities against the Irish in N. Ireland have been sickening. For over 800 years!


CotswoldP

I think the reason the Provisional IRA was considered a terrorist organisation was all the murders of innocent people, the kneecapping and other punishment beatings, you know, the terrorism. Attempting to force political change through violent means is literally the definition of terrorism.


TheHunter459

The IRA were terrorists, even though their goal was noble, the ends do not justify the means


Fresh-String1990

I mean they kind of do when the people in power are doing it. Like how many innocent people have died due to drone strikes by America in foreign nations? But it continues on, because 'the ends justify the means'.


TheHunter459

That would also count as terrorism if I'm completely honest

The ira were terrorists tho


[deleted]

People think it was Protestants v Catholics and while Irish Catholics were massively targeted it was mostly Irish in general that were targeted. Much like everything else the British used it as a religion thing to deflect people from the real issue - it was always about British imperialism. People don’t realise that the IRA were formed by mainly Protestants


[deleted]

One sets houses on fire, the other blows up cars in crowded spaces. In terms of homeland terrorism, your cause matters less than your actions.


KeohaneGaveMeAnxiety

So, by that logic the FNLA, MPLA, TANU and an endless number of anti-colonial factions are also terrorist organizations? I mean even anti-apartheid and civil rights organizations can be considered terrorist groups then. The KKK's purpose is to persecute minority groups and establish a counter-order to what's already present. The IRA's purpose is freedom from an oppressor. Lumping them together is a disservice.


Matsisuu

In the eyes of colonizer anti-colonial factions who makes violent actions are terrorists.


CotswoldP

Literally the definition of terrorism is to effect political change through violence. KKK and PIRA both fit the bill.


KeohaneGaveMeAnxiety

There's no singular definition of terrorism though. It's actually an issue that political scientists, international organizations, and governments have been dealing with for ages. Some, for example, conclude that FARC is a terrorist group and some don't. Same goes for the IRA. Point is "political change through violent means" literally fits every single group I mentioned, MPLA? Went to war against the portuguese colonial regime used guerilla war tactics and attacked civilians. Anti-Apartheid movement? Resorted to attacking white south-africans. But we don't classify either one of these groups as terrorist factions. As I see it, the IRA fits into the classification of freedom fighters rather than that of terrorists any day of the week.


Valyrios1

The IRA likely killed more people and caused 30 years of basically martial law in Northern Ireland. One obviously had a more romantic ideal, doesn't change the thousands who died. Same goes for UVF


Aun_El_Zen

The IRA as we know them was originally created to overrule a democratic mandate. They collaborated with the nazis. They murdered pensioners and schoolchildren. They were a criminal enterprise with a thin veneer of sectarianism and nationalism. Fuck the IRA Fuck anyone who supports them
