an ordinary person, a wreck ideology on mainstream political view, it seems very wild to think that a small group of people could pose a threat to the most militarized superstate in world history. but if you are this group of white power activists they had a plan for self-styled terrorism, guerilla warfare, disrupting infrastructure, sabotage and assassination. and they took a long view of gradual destabilization leading to race war that they believed could work. so this question of ability to carry out a plan came into play in ways that just were not translated very well, for instance in jury instruction. all right. although the psychological barrier of being able to imagine a coup effort working suddenly got a lot easier for everybody in the country, including you go presumably every member of some future jury a year ago this month. it s fascinating stuff in the history here. the history here is rich and dark and fascinating. and doesn t point in any one direction in a simple way.
