US neo-fascist group claims it is part of Texas floods relief efforts
Patriot Front leader says so-called ‘activists’ prioritizing giving supplies to their ‘people’ and ‘European peoples’
A US racist and neo-fascist hate group that has become a public fixture in recent years has descended on central Texas in a stunt it claims is part of the “disaster relief” efforts under way after the devastating flash floods hit the region last week.
Patriot Front, founded following the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where its leader, Thomas Rousseau, a Texan, was later charged for his participation, has claimed on its Telegram app channel that it has shown up in the areas near Camp Mystic, where 27 young campers lost their lives.
“Patriot Front is here in central Texas,” Rousseau declares in a video statement, amid the backdrop of what sounds like buzzing chainsaws and a flood ravaged community, “responding to the flooding, which has destroyed communities and taken the lives of scores of Americans”.
Rousseau goes on to claim that his so-called “activists” are distributing supplies to survivors, but clarifies that his group is prioritizing their “people” and “European peoples” in those operations.
We had the same kind of fuckers when we had a similar flood a few years ago. They did help, but only used it to spread lies about official services, as in "We are helping you because the government doesn't!"

Holy shit this is racist.
I mean… It’s a white power group. I’d be more surprised if they didn’t do racist things.
it would be absolutely shocking if they were even halfway decent
This is exactly what they want by killing FEMA; The people who voted for this want local groups, churches, and even local governments who already know the local out groups to be able to pick and choose who gets help. FEMA comes in and doesn’t ’prioritize’ the ‘right’ people.
Patriot Front. So it’s a front and they’re not really patriots? This is worse than Pride Boys.
These fascists trash monster inhuman people are doing this as marketing. They have no hearts with which to do good works.
Yeah... But I say let them try. Let them try to brush over people they can help, to their face
It's not so easy to look them in the eyes. The suicide rate among concentration camp guards, and even the SS (who were picked for fanaticism), was insane
If they actually go and try to help, a lot of them are going to realize something. It's easy to be a fascist in the abstract, it's not so easy to confront the logical conclusions of fascism directly
So that's why the response has been fucking incompetent.
Well it's because FEMA, the national guard, and the army core of engineers would descend on the area like ants, and they would tell people "don't help, you'll get in the way, donate supplies over there if you like and go home - we need the local hotel rooms"
But when you cut disaster relief... There's literally just parents out there searching for their children, they're not turning anyone away
They also hate when people donate "supplies" which is usually 30+ year old torn up camping equipment, and old clothes that should have been thrown out.
Just donate money and get out of the way.
If you really want to be a help, donate time before disasters happen so you're trained up for when they do. Starting to gather supplies and training during a disaster is far far too late.
core
Corps.
Untrained, inexperienced and under-equipped people can be more of a liability than asset in some of these situations. No need to create a new logistical nightmare on top of the existing disaster. It's good that people want to help, it's better when their efforts are actually helpful.
Let me fucking drown
Get a nice strong grip and pull them in.
So he showed there when it became safe to claim their victory. Okay.
