BCA6010 · Accepted Answer

In the director's extremely politicized opinion in which he is compelled to ignore reality when it's inconvenient for his party, maybe.

When last I checked, the combined efforts of every single white supremacist hate group in the country hasn't even come close to the damage caused by "the summer of love." In fact they haven't really done much of anything, certainly not with nationwide repercussions. If they've been thwarting (actual) threats behind the scenes, good on them, but virtually every example I've heard in the last two years were clearly half-assed entrapment cases ginned up to support a narrative (and justify increased funding).

Now one possibility is that they're specifically concerned about lone operatives who are acting on their own accord. These are generally the most dangerous threats because they're much harder to detect and prevent than organized groups even though the potential damage is much lower. The problem with this narrative though is that they are still rare, pretty much always some mental case ostracized from society lashing out, and more indicative of broader issues with the country's cultural collapse. It's also a very easy and convenient "boogyman" threat because it can be applied to almost anything and anyone to some extent.

I would generally expect this sort of narrative from the DoJ. As it has turned out over the last 20 years, most of their biggest "successes" have been greatly exaggerated, often involving plots that their own agents cooked up and they just started pinching people who showed an interest. Being primarily concerned with domestic threats, it makes a little more sense coming from them. From the DHS however, it sounds more like an excuse. DHS is more concerned with threats from outside our borders that make their way in- smugglers, foreign terrorists, human traffickers, and counterfeiters mostly. It's pretty well known that they are either unable or unwilling to curb most of those crimes especially when they involve the southern border, so pointing fingers at threats outside their usual scope is basically deflection.

Where does homeland security rate on this level and in from what perspective. From the perspective of humanity, America or minorities. There is a whole lot of perspectives this can be viewed from and probably a whole lot of assumptions placed on a group of people when it probably doesn't include the entire group or even the majority of the group. I personally feel statements like this are done for the purpose of funding. They have to have a job to do get paid. I would have to research and see some actionable and verifiable proof of the things they have done in relation to each other but from my experiences the real danger is when we allow statements to drive fear because we are all at our most dangerous when we allow ourselves to act out of fear. We are all dangerous when we allow our fight or flight to control and overide or logic. For the most part we are all content with being peaceful until someone says we are under threat. Are we under threat because the other group feel threatened by us? Are we being told they are a threat in an attempt to manipulate to help someone pursue someone else's agenda without knowing what that agenda was. It's important that we stop reacting to statement emotionally and learn to use these new ways to communicate efficiently. We should all be allowed to be proud of our heritages without the need to put down others or assume thier display of being proud is a direct threat. I understand being of mixed heritage that some horrendous things happened in the past. I'm also aware that this happened because people where misinformed and acted from a point of fear that was allowed to transform into hatred. With the technology we have now the ability to communicate and access information quickly means it's time to evolve and communicate and understand each other and learn to logically deal with our issues.

I believe anyone or any group of people that hide under bed sheets are too coward to be a real threat. They talk a big game but are middle aged good for nothing punks. Isis on the other hand are NOT human, have no regards for life, have no reasons to do what they do and no one is off limits when it comes to killing. They are a big threat cause they actually seek out victims and not one at a time or one color at a time. They are cold blooded murderers who kill, steal, torture and destroy. Way bigger of a threat than punk ass White supremacists!

Physics,
You always ask the best questions, but I'm going to ask you a question. Which of the following groups did the Dimocratic government list as a domestic terrorist organization, and sick the IRS on to give them all colonoscopies to look for spare change?

The Tea Party?

The Department of Homeland Security says that White Supremacists are a bigger threat than al-Qaeda and ISIS. Thoughts?

BLM?

ohshee · Answer

I am an American and we have a much bigger threat
First threat is our government who said that we wanted to belong to the New World Order who said that we wanted to break up America and that it'd be every country in the world who said we wanted to all night have jobs and who said we wanted the Americans to stop growing food who said we wanted our Police Department dissolved and they do brings in their people who said my state what is any of this I thought we hired politicians to do the right things for us not to take us down the rabbit hole and and we get fucked all over as long as they have their money they don't give a fuck about anybody but themselves
And As Americans we better start thinking about what country is going to come in here and tried to control us we better start thinking about why is there government playing Black against white and white against black because if we all join together they know that we are badass and you know that's the only way that America is going through or not do what our government has sold us out to do so they want to divide us all first and they want to control the food what you control the food you can't control everything no money no food but you all have a brand new smartphone yep unlimited everything and if you don't have one you will have one because that's the only way you're going to be able to do business in America that way they watch everything you do we have been sold out big time politics is nothing but a joke now days are poor for forefathers are turning over in their grave go to welcome you guys cannot see you're being manipulated you are all going to become slaves 2 NATO I know one thing I think God that I lived in the times that I lived because young people nowadays you guys are in a box no place to go and that's all we ever used to do is go explore experience have fun live life make money thank God I got to live in those times

BeMuse · Answer

Sure, the Democrat party (KKK/Nazis) is a big problem right now. They are pushing communism. They are committing crimes against humanity with deadly engineered pandemics (Event 201), experimental vaccines, engineered food shortages (Food Chain Reaction Game), etc. that impact and end the lives of many people. Faulty vaccines and the pandemic are killing minorities at twice the rate as Whites. Food shortages will lead to inflation, and those in poverty will starve when there is nothing left on the shelf. Black and then Hispanics will be hit hardest first. They are disestablishing American institutions and the economy of cities with lock downs, open border policies, and orchestrated and provocateur race riots in cities. They control the main media outlets and push propaganda that infect the minds of millions. They definitely are a bigger threat than al-Qaeda and ISIS, but that said they funded and strengthened al-Qaeda and ISIS. Generally a sub group of the larger threat is considered a lesser threat being that they don't have the full strength of the entire organization.

Anonymous · Answer

based on who's been doing all of the recent mass shootings, I would say that they have "miscalculated". I'm sure it was an accident and not a politically motivated fuck up though. 😲

But then again, I like to base my findings on actual events/shootings/violent crimes and such. I'm just waiting for all these supposed white supremacist groups to start destroying cities. One city. Any city. Where's the violence from them because it's not happening. Especially when you compare it to BLM or Antifa and what damage they've done. How can any non-brainwashed human see what's going on and then say, yup them white supremes are scurry, while BLM is outside burning down their town? lmao.

One group worth noting is the Patriot Front. Allegedly, they have white supremist roots, BUT again, they've done nothing but peacefully march in protest-- which they're legally allowed to do and fight with Antifa which... mentally sane people would support.

How can anyone with a brain say they're more dangerous than the people who have burnt down buildings (including police stations), killed people, and did billions of dollars in damage while at the same time, having Democrat support?

Realistically, I'm just not seeing it.

t-8900 · Answer

Let's take a look at the last claik of white supremacy... tiki torches and chanting pasty toothpicks. Ooooh so scary! Didn't know that was the same as throwing people from airplanes, mass rapes, 9/11, European no go zones, child grooming. Let's be honest they haven't been a serious threat in like 40 years. Now they're about as scary as the Westboro baptist church. You've seen more terrorist actions from other leftist groups like BLM and Antifa especially. And I'll be honest if those Antifa types tried it with me let's just say leftists would be looking at Rittenhouse like the second coming of Christ when I got through with those piles of bodies on my front doorstep. Speak softly and carry a big stick.

genericname85 · Answer

is it the same people who claim to hate nazis yet they are supplying the neo-nazis in ukraine with all the weapons they could ever want just so they can weaken russia to make the west stronger?

honestly, i don't really know American society. but in germany we have the same shit. our government says right wing radicals and nazis are the worst problem for homeland security, yet the criminal statistics speak a very clear and contradictory language to that narrative.

in germany the majority of crimes are these days commited by refuges and immigrated people. that's a fact. but if you just say that, they already call you a nazi and they frame you as someone that hates different cultures, which of course is bullshit. society lives in denial of the facts.

DaisyM23 · Answer

I think the biggest threat to America right now is Americans - they're a very divided country with warring cultures and people and policies. International terrorism seems to have less of an impact on American society than white supremacy in my opinion

TonyV · Answer

Yeah that sounds about right, AL qeuda and Isis are old news, I'm more worried about China and North Korea.

But yeah I'd say white Supreme ist are a bigger threat, a group of people, or pussies that would wipe out all not white people if they thought they could, they'd probably wipe out any whites that didn't hate blacks and browns too. Yeah a group of people that sees other people as not people, more pest to exterminate is a problem, terrorists in our own back yard.

The middle east terrorist would have never come here but for somereason the people in charge here feel it nessasary to go poking their nose into other countries issues, instead of dealing with our own issues.

Lliam · Answer

Homeland Security. LOL Fucking Biden and Harris have more credibility than Homeland Security.

I don't think either white supremacists or Islamic terrorists pose much threat. Liberals who disdain the constitution and civil liberty pose a greater threat. BLM and antifa pose a greater threat. Our globalist-owned, increasingly authoritarian government poses a greater threat.

CoffeeBeanBlack · Answer

Its justified because Domestic terrorism occurs much more often than terrorism by outside groups. There's also been a hike in terrorism by white supremacists groups since 2015, which accounted for upward of 60% of domestic attacks from 2015-2020 (I only know because I had written a paper on political polarization). Its made more difficult by the fact that there's no way to appease these groups. Systemic racism can only extend so far as overt racism is generally disliked across both major parties. Though, defenders are extraordinarily loud or crafty enough to hide who it hurts by making it moral issue rather than a systemic one.

It's a move that will ratchet up political tensions for various reasons. So it's politics as usual. Politics: Keep people divided, distracted and fighting against one another. Unfortunately people on both sides will fall for the distraction. They will become more divided and continue to fight each other. So they cycle simply continues.

libsaretards · Answer

I disagree. Both are despicable but al-Qaeda and ISIS are both better trained and more fanatical in their beliefs. They also have other countries sympathetic to their cause. As a military member and corrections officer I can easily say the terrorist groups are a far bigger threat. Also, you must remember that the head of the Department of Homeland Security is filled by the President so the judgement of that person is not 100 unbiased.

That is another lie from the loony left. The right are not the people who carry out acts of terrorism. Terrorism comes from the left and Muslims.

maverick2022 · Answer

Well since they've redefined white supremacist to include any white person that doesn't like immigrants, I guess it could include anyone but that still doesn't make them a threat except to the elite's agenda. At some point, you have to acknowledge that the government is not really representing the majority anymore and we might as well declare them the threat.

"DHS says that White Supremacists are a bigger threat than al-Qaeda and ISIS."

I believe this is true, because IF the borders are controlled, then al-Qaeda and ISIS CANNOT get in.

But White Supremacists are Americans, INSIDE the border! How do you stop them?

Squaresquirrel · Answer

I disagree, but it is a threat for them as these groups are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in, also a lot of time they say what others don't dare to voice. It's a threat for the government.
