    Not a lot of good outcomes from joining the Black Panthers, tbh. They even killed their own accountant on at least one occasion.

    A lot of people consider his death an assassination in part of the COINTELPRO operations between 1958 to 1971 at the height of the USA and USSR cold war, but it’s worth stating that the escalation to violence was due to one of the present BPP members firing a round while authorities had the apartment surrounded.

    Do you have any examples that aren’t over half a century ago?

      Never thought I’d find an actual white supremacist on lemmy operating so openly. Guess reddit really did spill over too much.

        Being against a specific militant group doesn’t make you a white supremacist. It doesn’t even make you white.

            Let’s for the sake of argument say that hypothetical were true. White supremacists like ice cream and puppies, hate nuclear annihilation, so unless you’re some kind of white supremacist I guess you hate puppies and ice cream and you want all life to go extinct?

              …are you actually just mask off arguing that repeating nazi propaganda like the false idea that hamptons crew shot first does not make you a nazi?

              Do you people ever self reflect, even a little?

                Listen, it’s well understood that the events of Fred Hampton’s assassination were wrongful, but it’s also entirely unsurprising if a heavily armed militant organization use the weapons they parade around to defend their headquarters.

                Fuck those police, fuck the nazis, fuck the KKK, fuck Trump and Musk, but I’ll die on this hill 10,000 fucking times before I side with the Black Panthers. Fuck the Black Panthers.
