US says white supremacist group tried to incite followers on Telegram to spark race war

Dallas Humber, 34, and Matthew Allison, 37, face 15 counts including soliciting hate crimes and support for terrorism

A white supremacist group that branded itself the Terrorgram Collective drew up a list of high-profile assassination targets including at least one senator and a district court judge, according to a federal indictment unsealed on Monday.

Prosecutors allege that the two leading agitators of the group incited followers on social media to commit hate crimes against Black and Jewish people, immigrants and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Dallas Humber, 34, of Elk Grove, California; and Matthew Allison, 37, of Boise, Idaho; face 15 counts each of soliciting hate crimes and providing material support to terrorism. US justice department lawyers filed the 37-page indictment in district court in the eastern district of California on Thursday.

It alleges the pair encouraged attacks on government infrastructure, energy facilities and other buildings “to ignite a race war and help accelerate the collapse of government and society”.

I'll never understand why these assholes think that taking down a power grid will incite a race war.

What the fuck do black people or Hispanic people or immigrants have to do with whether or not the electricity is on? Surely there is no one out there who thinks the electricity keeps running because black people exist...right? I mean, they can't logically blame it going out on black people (or whoever else), what with them being here right now and infrastructure being fine (well, not fine, but functioning).

I know there's no logic to it. But usually I can at least see what the extremist propagandists are aiming to exploit. And I just really cannot connect energy infrastructure to race. It boggles the mind.
