41. Much of the YouTube commentary is, not surprisingly, vile- but some is dead on:

"Antifa cosplaying as rednecks"

"What a hilariously inept attempt at co-opting your political opponent's identity."

"Wait a sec, at 7:09 when that guy is speaking for Red Neck revolt. I'm supposed to believe he's a redneck? With his neck beard and tribal earrings? Dude thats a hipster LARPing! A ball cap, plaid shirt and bandanna does not a redneck make."

"It looks like they got their "working class" clothes, flannel shirts and boots at Urban Outfitters."

"This is what happens when a marketing major and a humanities major get together. I don't think this is a grass roots white working class movement. I think it is someone trying to sell modern Marxism to white working class people."

Personally, they strike me as a bunch of mostly bourgeous phonies 'trying to sell Marxism to white working class people'.
As another commenter noted, the skinny jeans are a dead giveaway...

They seem to be calling for armed insurrection snpsmom Jul 2017 #1

basically, they are anarchists. gejohnston Jul 2017 #3

Are they liberal or far left wing, gejohnston Jul 2017 #2

I kind of figured this group wouldn't come off as well as the NRA, here. Paladin Jul 2017 #4

A good counterbalance IMO to Trump, Inc.! RKP5637 Jul 2017 #5

Do you pay more attention to the labels or the substance? gejohnston Jul 2017 #6

I tell you what I pay attention to: Paladin Jul 2017 #7

rank authoritarianism isn't gejohnston Jul 2017 #8

"you people" ileus Jul 2017 #14

Just out of curiosity, sarisataka Jul 2017 #16

What "ugly suspicions" would those be? Marengo Jul 2017 #25

Where did you run off to? Why did you run off? Why do I have that song from The Caine Mutiny... Marengo Jul 2017 #36

Thanks for the info discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2017 #9

Tries to troll gungeon with socialist/communism far left website - Alea Jul 2017 #10

Accurate and concise. NT pablo_marmol Jul 2017 #12

Yeah, I've been "trolling" my gun viewpoints at DU since 2001. Paladin Jul 2017 #13

On the contrary, I felt their assessment was *quite* accurate friendly_iconoclast Jul 2017 #19

They seem to have some radical views sarisataka Jul 2017 #15

I'm looking into them. aikoaiko Jul 2017 #17

Always wise to exercise caution with gun-oriented organizations. Paladin Jul 2017 #18

So you support their notion of an individual right to bear arms? hack89 Jul 2017 #20

Did you donate? Do you still own guns? Marengo Jul 2017 #21

Are you an armed Democrat? Have you donated and/or are active in his organization? Marengo Jul 2017 #23

I've learned from bitter experience not to answer personal questions from pro-gun activists. Paladin Jul 2017 #24

Seems rather gutless to me, especially considering your fondness for veiled accusations. Marengo Jul 2017 #26

I don't respond well to people who accuse me of being "gutless." Paladin Jul 2017 #28

Passive aggression is gutless though hack89 Jul 2017 #29

Gutlessness confirmed, but not unexpected. Marengo Jul 2017 #30

What does a refusal to acknowledge or discuss their own previous statements tell us about a person? friendly_iconoclast Jul 2017 #32

You really suck at trolling hack89 Jul 2017 #27

Yeah - I'm out... jmg257 Jul 2017 #31

I hear you- that mindset tends to lead either to the Weathermen or the Reign of Terror friendly_iconoclast Jul 2017 #33

Yep - since when did "armed Democrat" become "armed anarchist who wants to use their guns jmg257 Jul 2017 #34

Never: this is sub-James O'Keefe level trolling... friendly_iconoclast Jul 2017 #35

It seems that a UK You Tuber found it, gejohnston Jul 2017 #37

Much of the YouTube commentary is, not surprisingly, vile- but some is dead on: friendly_iconoclast Jul 2017 #41

Do you buy into this shit? You are all for militant resistance, anarchy & armed revolution?? jmg257 Jul 2017 #38

Yeah, well..... Paladin Jul 2017 #39

Implying that those who disagree with you are Friends of Wayne (and Ted)? friendly_iconoclast Jul 2017 #40

Well - that's great. I don't see anyone here posting positive notions about Wayne or Ted, jmg257 Jul 2017 #42

That one has long promoted a Manichaean view of gun owners- you're either an 'enlightened' one... friendly_iconoclast Jul 2017 #43

Some people must be just dying to really use their guns - for SOMEthing they can somehow justify. jmg257 Jul 2017 #45

I figured a left-leaning gun group would be of interest to this group. Paladin Jul 2017 #44

So again, you buy into all this armed revolution shit. You looking forward to killing 'the rich'? jmg257 Jul 2017 #46

I'm not going to bother trying to correct all of your erroneous thoughts and accusations. Paladin Jul 2017 #47

Yes, and I am sure all life is precious to you, too! jmg257 Jul 2017 #49

The David Clarke/"Uncle Ruckus"-style "antigun gun owner" is a familiar trope at DU friendly_iconoclast Jul 2017 #54

I wish I could say sarisataka Jul 2017 #48

You promote a straw narrative- any group that says "It is now time to turn our guns on..our enemies" friendly_iconoclast Jul 2017 #50

I'm an armed Democrat who supports gun control and thinks this is fucking moronic. n/t Downtown Hound Jul 2017 #51

Suits me. Thanks for the comment. Paladin Jul 2017 #52

Yes you did. Downtown Hound Jul 2017 #53
