Maybe we can charge Gorka with material support for the terrorism in Charlottesville. THEN can he be fired?

I know you're being tongue-in-cheek, but none of those groups designated FTOs. Interesting question abt whether that would be appropriate.

We now recognize that you can be affiliate/member of ISIS by engaging ideology remotely. Lots of white nationalist ideas developed abroad.

Not so much the KKK stuff, but obviously the nazi bit. Also Christian Identity and Norse-strains.

If the ideology is foreign and groups conducted premeditated terrorism domestically, is an FTO designation warranted at some stage?

I dont have answer to this question ('no' does not condone these guys). But interesting Q that feels relevant as prospect of violence grows.

Actually, we introduce asymmetry in our policing bc we (correctly) treat white supremacy as home grown. FBI does a not-bad job w/o CT tools

I think material support statutes are badly abused. That said, they're used to coerce cooperation & wonder if USG lacks tools for right wing
