The Boogaloo guy, Magnus Panvidya, saw Jimmy’s piece and tracked HIM down, offering himself to be interviewed. So JD went ahead. I took notes. They were supposed to be writ up pretty but they’re not.

He’s an Anarchist first, and all about the 2nd Amendment. Not a Trumper.
Also claims to be a Green/Libertarian militia type, and I think Libertarian is the one that rings most true.
‘not the straightest guy myself’, so obviously not anti-gay
‘you’re gonna have idiots, accelerationists, extremists’, so weed them out

Everybody from BLM to the cops to ‘us’ has guns.

Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan: he rallied with BLM and Antifa
Very anti-police … the cops don’t care about you. They’re there to protect property and the government.
Class war. Jimmy had to prompt him on this, but he concurred.
Facebook isn’t a private company, it’s an arm of the government (a component of the Dem party).

The most interesting theoretical part was that he’s ambivalent about M4A, because of course that’s too much government for a Libertarian type. Much less an anarchist I suppose, and I’m stroking my chin over that contradiction in myself.

JD mulled this all over in a separate piece, too.

The whole business is making much less of a splash in lefty-world than #ForceTheVote did, except inside my head apparently.

I’m not headed out to arm myself any better than I already am. But I’m glad Magnus and his friends are holding up that end of the whole messy stupid business of the broken government and what to do about it.

Enough for now.
