To me, this is militant

Aping military fashion and accessorizing with weaponry while posing for photos?

To me, militancy requires at least two of the following: formal organization, taking direct action, and/ or seeking confrontation.

In that case I agree that they are militants, but there are plenty of chumps in camp gear with guns who are not.

Hence why I posted the second photo. Far more different from the first.

According to Oex, having a conversation is militancy. :huh:

If it's Thanksgiving dinner, it's not.

If it's something you have organized, opened to a public you did not know before hand, with the express purpose of discussing political matters, then yes. I think it warrants the label of "militant".

By that measure, Languish is "militant".  I just can't agree with that assessment.

Sure, but it could be argued they were right to be militant during that time frame.

Oh forgot ELF.
