The Legion of St Ambrose looks like a gang of video game cosplayers. They threaten to dab you.
The cowardly, those who countersignal, do-nothings, traitors, the enemies of Christ, and the enemies of those who serve Him shall be dabbed on. pic.twitter.com/Ftf0fqxbvw

They also have some kind of manifesto online. It’s the usual theocratic noise: church schooling, patriarchy, mandatory Christianity, anti-“bankers” (we all know what they mean by that) and of course, white nationalism.
An interesting twist: they’re “environmental”, meaning they want to ban pesticides, GMOs, and factory farming. They also think healthcare should be a right, but they also want to emphasize “natural” medicines. No more private prisons, either, but also no abortions, ever.
It’s a novel evolution of Christian conservatism. The funny costumes make it hard to take them seriously, though.
Uhm excuse me, but have we not learned our lesson yet from laughing at fringe groups and ideas? Yeah, they are still gonna get the hairy eyeball from me.
What does “those who countersignal” mean?
“An interesting twist: they’re “environmental””
Eco-fascists are remarkably common in the environmentalist movement, especially neo-Malthusians and their ilk.
For people who care about who founded the USA, they sure don’t give a damn about the Bill ofRights.
Just in case anyone thinks these are some misguided cosplayers for-teh-laffs, no, they are real. The ADL considers them a hate group, Legion of Saint Ambrose (LoSA):
And so on. Genuine nazi nutters. Deluded and in need of multiple milkshakings.
Not sure, but the Urban dictionary gives a hint: “counter-signal: To criticize; Typically a phrase used by people on the far right or far left side of the political spectrum to shut down critique from those on their side closer to the center who want them to moderate their views.”
Presuming something like that is what is meant, then the phrase seems to decode as . That is, they are freeze peachers.

So this is how the wreckage of the TWP rebranded itself after its leadership’s implosion? Frightening, indeed.
@blf, # 5: Is counter signaling anything like virtue signaling? I have no idea virtue signaling that is, but apparently we left wing Democrat commie pinkos do that a lot.
Sporting the Chi-Rho is interesting given its probable pagan origins.
robro @9: Fascists mixing Christian and Teutonic symbols (and worship) is nothing new.
“NO! No swastikas on the uniforms. We don’t want to look like militant fascists.”
Not that surprising when you look into the history behind “blood and soil”. It’s an extension of their purity beliefs.
I always find it laughable how history-ignorant white supremacists are….”European Xtians”? SRSLY? Have they no idea of the tons of migrations and population movements that swept over Europe in the last 5000 years, not to mention the Roman habit of stationing auxiliary troops (foederati) from African and ME countries in enclaves throughout Europe and Britain. Talk about a “mongrel” genetic heritage lol ….
On the environmentalism thing, here in France in the recent EU Parliament elections, the le penazis tried to position themselves as environmentally-concerned. It wasn’t & they aren’t. One example of what they doing was taking the sensible concept of “locally produced” and twisting it to include (because such people, they absurdly bellow, are not “local”).
No abortions? Fucking apostates. They’re not Christian if they think abortions are a problem, and not if they think life begins before the first breath.
Okay, so…
What is this “dabbing” thing?
Dabbing
A modern version of vade retro satana, I reckon.
The only dabbing I’m familiar with involves cannabinoids.
Rob Grigjanis
That was a sneeze.
How do I know that “holy water” doesn’t really contain anthrax or some other bioweapon? I believe that this is a rehearsal for a terrorist attack!
(Both sides can play this game, right? Now where’d I put my Hamilton Beach?)
So are they threatening to bless people with holy water? Surely people see that either as a good thing or mildly irritating.
The image of these guys playing dress up as paramilitaries and spraying people with water is pretty funny.
“no brown foreigners” (because such people, they absurdly bellow, are not “local”).
Where do they come from? Norwegia or Northwest Russia? I am Irish-Canadian and who knows were my ancestors came from? Actually given a heredity problem I suspect some were Norseman .
Interesting that they promote “environmentalism” yet also unfettered, unrestrained “procreation”. They didn’t mention what their position on vaccines were.
They were parked a long time on the footpath. I hope their Christian values included putting coins in the parking meter.
So was that holy water or Miracle Whip or what?
Their “environmentalism” seems very narrow, mostly concerning farming methods. I doubt they care about Climate Change, the Sixth Mass Extinction of species or other global environmental issues.
In Germany, the right is frothing out of their mouth in anger about the Greens and their recent success in the European elections. They also constantly smear Greta Thunberg and her anti-Climate Change activism (it is an obsession).They consider all environmentalists as “Luddites” and backwards, accusing them to want to turn back time by getting rid of technology. Hearing that there should be more bike paths sounds to them like a call to return to the Middle Ages. Ugh.
I doubt that this Christian-fascistic group either has the interest nor the knowledge (it is a complex subject matter) to earnestly care about environmental problems. They seem to care for what they eat, maybe for health reasons. I may be wrong… But just because they get one thing right does not mean that they are good people.
Even arseholes and a monsters can be right some things. That does not mean that they are right altogether. But it should not taint the things that they get right, either!!
Environmental problems of our time are grave and need international agreements, international efforts and international solutions. That is usually hated by the extreme right.
They are anti-abortion and explicitly for Patriarchy. Women as third class citizens are “in fashion”.

What, a tendency towards wearing a space helmet for a cow?
