Soldiers of Odin chapters have been started in 42 states

[Independent voter]

I guess a lot of people watching Vikings on the History channels and fans of Travis Fimmel wanted something to join.

Soldiers of Odin chapters have been started in 42 states so far.

Or maybe it's not the KKK? So people feel comfortable in joining?

About a dozen people dressed in all black gathered on a street corner in a Denver suburb to conduct their first “patrol.” It was March 19, just weeks after this group of vigilantes began organizing on social media. In a video posted online, the crew of mostly young men starts to roam the streets, on the lookout for illegal immigrants and refugees—who they say are out to rape and assault their women.

They call themselves The Soldiers of Odin, and they’ve just arrived in the United States.

Members of the organization—which gets its cryptic name from the Norse god Odin—have been patrolling the streets of European cities since last year, in response to a wave of mostly Muslim asylum-seekers coming through the EU’s porous borders. But, the anti-immigrant group has now spread to the U.S. and is growing like wildfire—with the help of a powerful social-media recruitment program, Soldiers of Odin has now established U.S. chapters in at least 42 states since February.

“[Soldiers of Odin] bring together white supremacists, anti-government groups, anti-immigrant folks,” said Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow with the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism. “This is a nasty group of people.”

The official Soldiers of Odin USA Facebook page, which started in February, boasts a membership of more than 4,000 people. The page is private, and the movement’s leaders have to accept a person into the group—not anyone can just click a “like” button and become a Soldier of Odin. As Pitcavage notes, this doesn’t necessarily mean there are 4,000 vigilantes actively “patrolling” U.S. cities; some are just “cheerleaders” of the movement, he said. But the group definitely has a presence that lives beyond cyberspace.

Their mission can be summed up in a message posted on that private Facebook page where it states that the Soldiers of Odin USA “stands in opposition to the hoards [sic] of ‘refugees’ that have invaded Europe and will soon be coming to America, bringing massive waves of rape and crime with them… We say no!”

Soldiers of Odin sounds like a real time strategy clan

This shows you how the government and the ADL have been infiltrated by SJWs and PCs?! Maybe if they followed BLM and the other feminist groups that are waiting behind their PC words to start a violent attack on people then I would be more swayed, but since these guys are being targeted by the government and ADL, then they must be doing something right.

Hehe, its funny since "we" the vikings were the ones raping and killing back in the day ;-)

Soldiers of Odin is just... lol.

[Damajin]

The ADL really shouldn't be passing judgment on who is nasty and who isn't, they're not exactly spotless themselves.

This isn't a real Asatru group so the name is just a marketing tool. Expect a motley, discordant sort out of these chapters.

[nonameelf]

Is there a term like weeaboo for people who are way, way too into Norse mythology? My ancestors were Normans and my family still carries a Norman name and I'm not into my own heritage anywhere near as much as these people are.

Yeah it's really easy to equate the ADL with anti-government and supremacy groups, they both have a violent history.

Wow. What a non-argument. Do you enjoy status signaling?

SoO are pretty much low info proles. Think of them as foot soldiers for the new regime. As we're currently in a transitory period

The ADL's job depends on them convincing people there are nazis around every corner. Frankly they overreact

[PC2]

I think lefties should prove them wrong by showing how mass unskilled migration is a good thing that makes Europe and the USA more prosperous societies.

Redtower is a neo-nazi and likes to get all excited when some of his fellow travelers get some press.

Everyone you don't like is a neo-nazi.

Nope just the neo-nazi's.

"I don't think I ever hide the fact I was a national socialist. The fact I am a German one is what technically makes me a nazi." -Redtower

Now go out and play.

Odin is very weak. Don't see how anyone could not defeat him - so why are they using Odin for their portrait? They are weak. So just ragnarok the fuck out of them.

How about sweebs?

Okay if you don't think Trump and other political opponents are also neo-nazi's then that is good, you wouldn't want to generalize about Nazis and Hitler.

Exactly my first thought reading this. Hilarious to go for a name like that.
