The amount of supposed criminal activity by "militias" pales in comparison to the massive transnational mexican cartels - who have their own militias, whose ideology is money.

But manufacturing a right wing conspiracy is more important than discussing real narco terrorism that kills thousands of Americans and Mexicans every year, floods our country with lethal drugs, and finances North Korea and Chinese crime organizations.

How many headless corpses did the Oath keepers leave on the street last year?

How many metric tons of fentanyl did they smuggle?

Yep.

So right wing millitants conspiring to overthrow the US government aren't something we should discuss because mexican drug cartels exist?

Mexican cartels have more money weapons and men than all the "right wing militias" combined.

So, yeah. Let's worry about a dozen guys in Idaho.

Did Mexican cartels try to assassinate the VP for certifying an election? Not even the Mexican elections!

While you're correct about the sheer scale of narco cartels you are incorrect to bluntly state that right wing conspiracy is manufactured.

While it may be small scale and clownish in appearence from a distance, it is real and does result in bombings, shootings, death, injury, and disruption.
