Well then! Guess I’m racist against white guys.
Isn’t the fifth column like American nazis from the 30s?

It’s a general term for a group inside a country at war who work for the enemy. Almost certainly meant ironically in this case kind of like if I were to describe myself as an “arugula gargling, god hating, baby composter.” Andrew Sullivan infamously said, after 9/11:
The middle part of the country—the great red zone that voted for Bush—is clearly ready for war. The decadent Left in its enclaves on the coasts is not dead—and may well mount what amounts to a fifth column.
If you need a dose of crazy to help you make it through the afternoon, I think this thread will deliver.

I’m sorry, this is disturbing stuff, and maybe it’s because I’m exhausted after a long week but this part just struck me as funny in a dark way.
A guy plotting mass murder explaining why he chose a certain brand due to customer service considerations… I think it’s the very mundane contrasting with the horrific and disturbing.
Somewhere, there’s a Ryder marketing exec trying to figure out how to use this.
From Germany, so “local” in the quote refers to Germany.
The use of English and transmission of conspiracy theories targeted at Jews and feminism “are themes of the global radical and populist right”, Quent said.
It was “significant” that he had written and published a “manifesto” in English, tweeted Peter Neumann, a terrorism expert at King’s College London.
The choice “clearly shows that he wasn’t trying to impress local neo-Nazis, but that his ‘audience’ was on message forums” online that have previously cheered on far-right killers.
So, now you have German Neo-Nazis writing their manifestos in English to reach their audience of like-thinkers …

They’re burning books now. Anybody else want to tell me this isn’t Germany '38?
That is not a crowd I would want to hang out with. I wonder what will happen to those people.
Bugmen? What’s he referring to?
Also, he’s an idiot if he thinks rural areas will escape destruction in a nuclear war.
Considering the ethnic makeup of most of those cities, I could hazard a guess.
If you have to ask who the bugmen are, you may be one of them. Just saying.
Well, I thought I’d try to google. I’m sort of surprised I got an answer. It’s from the Urban Dictionary:
That’s from Terrance Davis, whom I don’t know.
Huh. Usually racism is a solid guess for these sorts of things. The more you know.
Well, the Tel Aviv part certainly lends an anti-Semitic smell to it.
Yeah, that would be my default too but it was such an odd term it had me curious.

I just watched a Electric Dreams episode about the “Others”. Was your post a reference to that or just coincidence?
