- rithdmc 2mo agoIs Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness a bunch of independent cells held together by an ideology... or is it just an ideology?
- philipallstar 2mo agoI guess it depends on how you define ideology, but I suppose I mean a more killing-based belief. "Rich Jews are to blame for all of Germany's problems" or "Death to the West" or "From the river to the sea" are statements with murder as the goal, as is "Everyone I disagree with is a Nazi and also it's fine to kill a Nazi".

- diydsp 2mo agoAntifacist, styled "antifa," and Republican are adjectives like Christian. Christianity and the GOP are massive, documented networks with representatives and hierarchies.
- sophacles 2mo agoSo without a hierarchy, things scare you to the point of declaring them terroists? So why aren't you screaming about the horrors of OSS and family parties? (BTW Christianity does not have a hierachy, not a universal one anyway, some groups do of course, like the Catholics... but the baptists, various orthodoxies, and many many more groups don't recognize that hierarchy).
- philipallstar 1mo agoThe GOP isn't a bunch of independent cells. It's a single organisation with a strong hierarchy. Like the Democrats. Or most Western political parties.
