Skeptic Project

The leadership of the movement itself isn't coordinated enough to do anything, and, as little as I think of him for pushing conspiracy theories and doing the other awful things he does, I don't think Peter Merola is the type to willfully incite others to violence.

However, as the Loughner and Breivik incidents show, all it takes is one loon with the wrong ideas in his head to cause a hell of a lot of damage. I believe Zeitgeist attracts these loons to a far greater degree than do other organizations, because belief in conspiracies corresponds with mental illness and extremist beliefs much more frequently than in the general population. I think it is ominous that Zeitgeisters are talking about violence and terrorism, and it's probably only a matter of time before some crazy loner decides on his own that he's going to advance RBE ideology with bullets and bombs.

I agree with Matt. The fact that such a thread remains open...and others that are completely offensive (like the one about killing pets and old people) also remain open, it's very telling. Talking seriously about violence is at least acceptable. It's sad, but I can't help but think there'll be a lone nut in the future affiliated with TZM.

They can claim compassion all they want, but what they actually talk about says otherwise.
