re: #205 Shiplord Kirel, Friend of Moose and Squirrel

I think this event may have backfired (so to speak) on the goobers. Instead of fear and respect, the ridiculous costumes and obvious lack of fitness have engendered a global wave of mockery and derision. It really is a kind of dytopian cosplay, less a demonstration than a freak show.

Well, other than the apprehension that that term “global” is unlikely to cover a disgracefully large segment of the U.S. public, I quite agree. For all their blustering swagger and ostentatious gun-waving, what (I fervently hope) it will be seen as is a bunch of overweight doofuses in store-bought “tac gear” wandering (or waddling, given how much kit they’ve strapped on) around the streets of Richmond trying very hard to look like the vanguard of some Great National Movement, but (astonishingly!!//) not getting there.
Hence my question about the numbers.
