Ok, so, why are there "militias"?

  Insufficent support for veterens? A small percentage is a significant number and those that initially seek support and camaraderie in militias can get drawn into oddball truther chambers.

    That's probably accurate. That's what happened in Germany before WWII after WWI.

  They pop up from time to time; eg Weimar germany? (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40162299 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40162299 ) The sorts of people who like to join militias don't like all the weebs in regular cosplay circles? (see https://dakotavadams.substack.com/p/gunshow https://dakotavadams.substack.com/p/gunshow ) All the fent sure as hell isn't going to run itself?
