And everyone stood and applauded.

Nah, it's a thing. Can't recall the name of the organization, but it's out there

I'm certain there's plenty all over, especially in purple areas.

The guys I know of don't have any official affiliation as far as I know.

Most of the group I accompanied a few times has moved out of state, but a couple still have a strong group going.

I don't think they even have a name for themselves, I know the vibe was more "nah no need to name us, then we become a structured target for the alphabet squad" a few years ago.

I just moved to a new area, but I get the feeling it's still pretty purple here too. I know of a few clinics nearby that get protesters, and I might try to see if there's a similar collection of people here.

Honestly I don't see what's so far-fetched about the idea of a group of people wanting to protect a vulnerable demographic from rabid cultists.

Are violence and intimidation of others in real life ok with you, if it's people you disagree with?

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

No, that's why it's okay to st and up and be a human barrier between the people using violence and intimidation against women trying to receive healthcare.

You get that's what the point is here, right?

The people going along as guardians aren't doing the intimidation (and I've never seen any reports of them using violence, only standing up and being present. If there are cases where it has come to co-operative violence, please correct me), it's the people harassing women trying to obtain healthcare that are doing the intimidation. The guardians are providing a service so that intimidation is less successful.

No. No, I think I missed that, what with the fantasizing about big dudes wearing plate carriers and how intimidating they are to "magats".

Also, that has nothing to do with your original comment. Maybe you aren't aware, but the whole "and then they applauded" meme is used to say that the thing is bullshit, that it didn't happen.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes, that is what I was implying with my first comment.

Well, now you know it does exist.
