They will never be brought to justice, since they are another arm of the state. These groups are a way of doing what the powers that be want to be done while having some plausible deniability.
These groups are deliberately allowed to do this.

- sudosysgen 5y agoYou can be very incompetent and also be very powerful. It's quite easy when you have the powers of the state. I don't agree with the comment you were replying to either, it's just that I don't really find this argument convincing.
- mrtesthah 5y agoYou don't have to find it convincing; it's merely an observation on the way fascists communicate with each other. https://www.faena.com/aleph/umberto-eco-a-practical-list-for-identifying-fascists https://www.faena.com/aleph/umberto-eco-a-practical-list-for... >8. The enemy is both weak and strong. “[…] the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
- sudosysgen 5y agoWell, for fascists it's often true because they choose enemies that are actually simply weak (as having shadowy enemies that can be portrayed as both weak and strong is necessary for fascism). The state is not weak at all, and it is indeed often incompetent. I think your argument is simply overfitting.
