I just don’t get it. In a country with so many guns, yet the American far-right still hasn’t organized into a paramilitary resistance yet.
In South Africa, they have the AWB.
In Europe, they have Azov/Right Sector/IRA/UVF/etc.
In America, we have overweight boomers and BASED wetbacks and Trump supporting niggers with shitty ARs and pump action shotguns in some laughable “muh 1776” LARP group.
Hell, even the left has organized its own armed resistance (like the John Brown Gun Club and Redneck Revolt). All we have in America are those Oathkeeper faggots. When will the far-right organize? Or is it simply impossible in America? I know the Order was crushed before it was ever capable of becoming a real threat to the system. We’ve gotta think of something.

Because the American right-wing is fundamentally different than the European right-wing because America and Europe are different countries. Europe actually has a multiparty system wherein a completely new party can actually take power rather than being locked out by the two main parties. But by the same token, European countries do not have a right to freedom of expression or arms. As a direct result of this American right-wing movements tend to try and influence people directly in local elections and hope it filters up, whereas European parties aim for mass action as they want to bring maximum publicly to their party which would maximize the amount of national votes they can get.
On the flip side, it's also why American left-wing movements are militarized while European ones are not. In Europe leftists are part of the system so anyone who does something naughty like calling a strike gets deeply concerned ((((letters)))) from their elitist friends who tell them to stop fucking with things, or else they won't form coalition governments with them. But in America, most states don't have allow Union exclusive shops let alone allowing non-union workers to join as riders to collective bargaining agreements. This forces American Unions to be far more militant and aggressive, because if the boss screws them they do not have the party apparatus and national bureaucracy they can cry to like they can in Europe (especially when the US's NLRB only mediates, it cannot intervene in affairs as is the case in Europe).
Also figure the US government has never lost a civil war, whereas most European governments have. Nobody in America wants to test this, unless they are forced to do so by their material conditions. The last time this happened was with the Bonus Army in 1932, which is why the US government ensures nobody is taught about the Bonus Army in schools while propping up Eisenhower, Patton and MacArthur as war heroes.

I invite you to google "Battle of Athens, TN"
basically there was a corrupt sheriff who tried to steal an election from a WW2 vet and the townspeople raided the local national guard armory, shot up the courthouse and demolished half of the building with dynamite.
even recently there have been times when federal agents simply backed off when they faced a group of armed citizens. like that bundy ranch thing.
defeatist people like to crow "can't beat them drones" when they forget that muzzie dirt farmers in iraq have been doing just that. you can't kill what you don't see and there really aren't enough drones or tanks or even stealth fighters to really suppress an entire nation like the US.
the US may never have lost a civil war, but it's won a whopping zero out of four insurgencies.
