No, they don't.

Maybe all the ones you know do, but any individuals circle of familiarity probably isn't representative.

And again, I cite the fact that you're getting defensive about attempts to call out this "tacticool"[1] subculture as dangerous instead of joining in the denunciation along with the rest of us as evidence that you associate more with their ideals than you may want to admit.

If it's a problematic subculture it should be a problem, and not dismissed. I don't see that happening from anywhere on the right.

[1] To pick the term above, which seems like a horrifying euphemism to my ears. But let's go with it.
