Inside the Michigan Militia

Ойын-сауық

In 2008, the first black president was elected in the United States and the worst financial crisis in almost a century brought the world’s economy to its knees. Since then, a form of domestic terror has been on the rise in America and abroad. But it’s not the kind of terror we’re used to hearing about.
Militia groups and neo-nationalists here and around the world have been growing bolder, more popular and more powerful. VICE's Ben Makuch investigates the origins of these militia groups and explores the driving force behind the militia movement today. In order to do so, he travels to the place where it all began: the Michigan State militias.

    Nicholas Jarrett When people who don't know a lot about firearms talk about them, they always go overboard by calling AR-15's a high powered assault rifle, when really, they aren't considered, by the engineers that design them, to be "high powered". My pistol joke references how these people mistake, or most likely intentionally refer to these pistols this way for the purpose of shock value. When you say a gun is automatic, that means that you can hold the trigger down, and the mechanism is designed to rapidly fire, and eject the casing. My point is that certain people use the word automatic when it is truly semi-automatic. I really cannot tell you if a lot of reporters do this for shock value, or if they truly don't understand the difference. Maybe a little of both, I suppose. Oh, and sorry that this comment is so long.

    +Nicholas Jarrett An "assault rifle" denotes select fire capability. ( semi auto AND full auto) which requires a class 3 license, which are very unattainable and extremely expensive. Also virtually zero of the legal class 3 firearms are used in crimes. The problem with most of the populations view on firearms is that their info is given to them by people who know nothing about firearms or do but choose to deceive them.

While the rioters destroyed thier own neighborhoods, the asian groups formed up to keep themselves safe. Its kinda funny, when you think about it. During Huricane Katrina, the police left, leaving militias and groups of people to protect thier homes and family. When the hurricane ended, and military returned, they took all the firearms (historical or not , they were all destroyed). After confiscation , gangs came in for 'revenge' on alot of the homes, and forced people to leave their once safe homes. imagine that, situations where criminals do not follow the law.

    Several layers are in place. First is the U.S. military, 2nd are U.S. Customs, Border Patrol and other federal agencies working internally; 3rd are your state agencies, but they would be overwhelmed; 4th are your local agencies, but they would be overwhelmed; 5th is any standing militia, and they too would be quickly overwhelmed; 6th is you - the lone person (with your family and maybe neighbors and/or close friends) with what's required to make it from the starting line to the finish line. You would have to figure out among your small tight knot community what requirements are essential to survival. I say, "Never rely on the next person for the long-term survival of both you and your family."

    "Historically, groups that have been armed - what good have they done?" They founded a country based on the rights of the common man. Ben Makuch's fatal error in this documentary is that he not only equates militias with some of the larger terrorist organizations, but also views it as a wicked thing to overthrow a government body that fails to respect the liberties of the people - yet it is this very thing that constructs quintessential American society, for as Thomas Jefferson stated, "I deem the supremacy of the civil over the military authority one of the essential principles of our government, and consequently one of those which ought to shape its administration." In a modernized country that has taught us to capitulate under federal authority, it is a common misconception that the government reign supreme over the civil - but this perspective is deleterious to fundamentally American principles, and must be revised. The militias are what make our country what it is. Under the amendments of the Constitution, they secure our liberties and defend the country's principles. This is their right, their freedom, and purpose, and because of this, I take great offense to Makuch's arrogant and uninformed statements. This is our country, and we mold it with our hands. Sometimes, you need a gun to get the job done.

It's this magical thing establishment cronies use to disseminate the views and thinking they want everyone to subscribe to in order to culturally reinforce a certain perspective on a subject. (VICE is so 'edgy" and 'progressive' to the youth isn't it? It totally 'represents' the opinions of the younger gen's today. If you don't think like them then obviously you are not part of the cool kids.) Cultural conditioning is what your seeing and it's best to start developing a keen eye to see the tell-tale signs of dishonest and manipulative media(heavy bias to one side, lack of examination of all facts and possibilities, heavy reliance on EMOTIONAL appeal rather than pure objective reasoning. Trying to direct what they want your opinion to be/subliminal manipulation to arrive at a certain 'feeling' about the subject) Just a few examples. We have so much cultural propaganda today in TV, internet, movies etc, that Americans just take it all as 'normal' when it's all skewed and manipulative to it's core. It's pretty scary to look at from the outside in.

    A real, classic liberal wouldn't have anything negative to say about these guys. By definition, a liberal would giveth no fucks what these men spend their free time doing, as long as they obey the law of the land and don't harm those around them. I'm a liberal. I own guns, stand for the decriminalization of marijuana, am for gay rights, support the police, and also support the rights of these militiamen to gather and operate as they see fit, within the law, as long as they strive to uphold the safety of their fellow citizens by ensuring their actions bring no harm to them.

    In general I didn't mind this doc, as it is a good example of an urban leftist being thrown into an environment that he doesn't understand and making an effort to learn about the view points of others. what really bothers me though is the end scene where they just have to get in a "F*** Whites" message. I'm not very happy how popular that is becoming these days.

    +Metalalbumreviewers Yep,.. There are more "liberal " gun owners than these online gun folks think... and they dont all think AWB's or mag limits are necessary or needed,.. albeit theres probably more republican "right wing types" than "liberal" left wingers...
