text: InFocus: Accelerationist groups vow revenge for Sunday’s attackThere are two new important developments occurring over the past couple days that could result in racially-motivated violence.The first is that some “influencers” in the Accelerationist and neo-Nazi movements are calling for revenge following Sunday’s apparent attack on a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Darrell Brooks, who is black, is alleged to have driven his vehicle into a group of people participating in the parade, killing 5 so far and injuring dozens more. So far, police are saying the incident was not in response to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, and was not an act of terrorism. Brooks does appear, however, to either have ties or expressed for Black Lives Matter and the Not F*cking Around Coalition (NFAC), a black nationalist militia, on social media. In response, numerous Accelerationist and neo-Nazi chat groups have called for revenge attacks. The primary tenet of Accelerationism is that adherents can take action to accelerate the collapse of the United States. Once collapsed, these groups expect to build a white ethnostate. There’s been considerable question of just how much of this movement is run by federal law enforcement. Although I’ve not seen any specific or credible threats of violence, blanket calls and encouragement for individual acts of revenge could lead to violence this week. The second development with a risk of violence is the members of the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) protesting outside the Glynn County courthouse at the Ahmaud Arbery trial in Brunswick, Georgia. NBPP spokesman Minister Mikhail Mihammad told supporters that, “We have to develop a squad of undercover hitmen to go after these g*ddamn killers,” referring to the three white men on trial over the death of Arbery. NBPP leader Malik Shabazz warned, “Y’all are in serious trouble because the wrath of karma is coming on America. We’re not taking it no more.” Protestors, including Black Lives Matter and other black advocacy groups, demanded a murder conviction. While I’ve not seen any specific or credible threats, we could see reprisals regardless of what happens in the trial. Anything other than three murder convictions could spur revenge attacks, while murder convictions could be used to encourage attacks, anyway.What concerns me about these two developments is that racially-motivated violence will work in favor of both sides of these extremist groups. Accelerationists want high profile, back and forth reprisals to break the stability of the country. Additional violence against whites by black identity extremists would also serve as a rallying cry to radicalize and recruit new members. Meanwhile, revenge attacks by white nationalist or neo-Nazi groups would do the same for black nationalists and other extremist groups. Lastly, I should note the overall lack of Accelerationist violence over the past few years. In fact, the largest outlet for Accelerationist content has complained about the lack of violence, despite his own encouragement. This is not to say that Waukesha won’t be a trigger for reprisal, just that a new case of Accelerationist violence would be the first in several years. – M.S.LOW INTENSITY CONFLICT INTSUMFar Left Activity Rollup & Outlook
