I was curious what Wikipedia has on the Turtle Island Liberation Front. A page? Nope. A section? Nope. All I could find was a tiny bit of info on the page for the list of unsuccessful terrorist plots in the United States post-9/11

December 15, 2025 • Four individuals associated with radical "Order of the Black Lotus" faction of the little-known, far-left Turtle Island Liberation Front were arrested for allegedly planning a series of backpack bombings in southern California. The alleged plot targetted American companies and was allegedly planned for New Year's Eve, with bombs simultaneously exploding at midnight.

I scrolled up a bit to see if there was anything noteworthy. There was. It's pretty obvious the guy was white and I assume he looked like the average Walmart shopper.

October 5, 2023 • Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin • A 43-year-old local man [Joshua Pleasnick] showed up to the State Legislature with a handgun demanding to see the governor, and was arrested, only to return later in the day with an assault rifle, in which he was arrested again, with nobody being harmed in both incidents.

If you search "turtle island liberation front" before:2024 all you get is some misdated articles from today and an /r/leftistvexillogy post.

[CW domestic abuse]

spoiler

He said he went to speak to the governor about domestic abuse toward men

Political awareness is born in local terminally online man. His first move is to exercise it in the most abusive way imaginable (holstered handgun and collapsible baton, then assault rifle when he hears "no").

This is such a thorough example of alienation from the political process. Capitalism and patriarchy really do a number on our thinking. Luckily the third leg of the American stool (white supremacy) saved this man's life and freedom!
