Modern Conservatives as Weaponized Revolutionaries

by d’Entremont

Recently, serious right-wing observers took notice in the disproportionate coverage in mainstream media of the questionable arrest, over conspiracy to riot charges, of the members of Patriot Front. This mass-arrest of its members occurred during one of their demonstrations, back in June of this year, which was organized in protest of the Pride event held in Coeur-d’Alene, Idaho. One particular critique of the political group truly stood out like a sore thumb: the conspiratorial-conservative media prejudiced Patriot Front as being agent provocateurs for having its members wear uniforms during their political activism stunts. This critique, among others, originated not from the expression of anti-right activism of the woke-left, as one might expect, but most curiously from right-wing conservative pundits.

​Without any shred of evidence, and entirely based purely on speculation as well as conjecture, the smear of ‘uniform-wearing FEDS,’ made by mainstream conservative commentators, had already bellowed across the social-media space to instill distrust of Patriot Front in the minds of their cult-following – a following developed with the techniques of a snake oil salesman. This fear-mongering response certainly originates many intriguing questions, most of the answers to which have been already discussed to death by our thinkers in the national-socialist movement. None of these answers, however, truly grasp the ontological nature of the conservative’s political system. In particular, the exact reasons conservatives are propagandized to find so appalling something as integral to our day-to-day existence as the ubiquity of uniforms. Although ultimately a feckless criticism of Patriot Front, there are historical reasons to delve further into this critique, as to prepare for an inevitable rise in violence throughout the United-States. In theory, the modern day conservative fulfills a similar politically disruptive role as the revolutionary of the French Revolution named the “Sans-Culottes (“without-breaches”).” ​
