There are a handful of things that often hinder militias' plans: 1. infiltration and exposure (usually by antifascists) 2. feds getting someone on unrelated gun charges 3. ppl wanting to do 'patriot shit' until it's time to do 'patriot shit' (often meta-explanation for no resources and poor health)

Also I have to give props to Paige Williams for reporting these wild findings about Banyai's $$$ supporters lmfao www.newyorker.com/news/us-jour...

In an e-mail on file with the court, Banyai mentioned his “benefactors.” In Slate Ridge’s online fund-raisers, donors tended to give small amounts, but one roster listed a pledge of a thousand dollars, from a David Brodsky. A man by that name owns a farm near Slate Ridge. That David Brodsky belongs to a family that has a long-standing real-estate development firm, BEB Capital, on Long Island.

David’s father, Bert, founded a health-care data company. In 2005, Long Island Business News reported that Bert and his children “made about $50 million from the sale of 5.5 million shares” of a business. Around that time, Bert and David bought the estate that was rumored to have inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald’s setting for “The Great Gatsby.” David described the property as a “white whale.” The mansion was eventually razed, making way for five multimillion-dollar homes.
