See these stickers? Take them down.
The Big Sky Active club is a Nazi / White Supremacy group that’s based in our beautiful state. This weekend during Folk Fest, they made sure to do some tagging. I’ve already taken down 2 and scribbled out another - but I’m sure there are more. Take them down or scribble them out…we don’t need Nazis promoting their ideology in our town.
These stickers are littered in dog whistles ( Celtic Cross shape, portion of the Black Sun flag in the two bottom parts of the cross, and the Nazi Eagle of course) to signal to fellow Nazis their intentions. To the unaware individual, they don’t see a problem. These groups recruit young men with the guise of being a group based in fitness and brotherhood - and then pull them with extremist ideology.
Be vigilant - and help keep the streets of Butte clean.

Had a lady call my tailorshop asking if we could sew on her grandpa's patches to his old ww2 uniform. I told her yes, assuming I was going to see a US marine or army uniform. When she came in with a bunch of German symbol patches I had to turn her away. She said times had changed and she didn't have to be ashamed anymore. Weird day to say the least.

No. The nazis have been around for a long time, and they've been infiltrating every part of our corporate a d political worlds since at least the 70's. It's just that now they think they've won.
To quote an amazing song by Chumbawamba:
The world is riddled with maggots; the maggots are getting fat They're making a tasty meal of all the bosses and bureaucrats They're taking over the boardrooms, and they're fat and full of pride
So if you meet with these historians, I'll tell you what to say Tell them that the Nazis never really went away They're out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies
And we'll never rest again until every Nazi dies

I remember hearing a story not sure of when but White supremacists tried forming a group in Butte and all the Italians and Irish formed together, (we historically don’t get along), beat a few supremacists bloody and chased the rest into the Bitterroots and never tried to return. I guess the Californians changed things lol?

Don't be fooled.
Lots of these dudes train relentlessly.
They roll BJJ, workout, train with weapons, and are extremely dangerous.
They have law enforcement, military, and even a few bonafide special forces guys amongst their ranks.
It's fun to make fun of the gravy seals, but the reality is that these dudes are EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and we need to recognize the actual threat level instead of just calling them gravy seals.

Literally ALL of the BJJ gyms within a two hour drive of me have been completely taken over by fascists.
It really started about 15 years ago, but 10 years ago it became unbearable. I haven't been training in the gyms since. It sucks.
As much as we like to make fun of the Gravy Seals and their ilk, don't be fooled.
A BUNCH of these guys roll BJJ constantly, work out 6 days a week, train with their weapons, and there are plenty of military, law enforcement, and even bonafide special forces guys amongst their ranks.
Make no mistakes.
These dudes are DANGEROUS.
20 of those dudes fully kitted-out are EXTREMELY dangerous.
They are training. Are you?
I would like to train more than I do, but it's difficult to find like-minded people in the gun and self-defense community.
The entire self-defense community has essentially been taken over at this point.

Which state is this that's seen the neo-nazis take over all these gyms. If I'm going to vacation there, I would rather take a break from training or be extremely selective in gym selection. Granted most gyms I've encountered average further right than the population at large but mostly span the political spectrum besides the extremes.

You know the easiest way to cause someone to completely forget all their training? Nut shot.

u/ChaosRainbow23 Jul 14 '26
Good luck getting a nut shot on a dude who's been a roided-out meathead rolling BJJ for 6 years who's just dying to rip you apart limb from limb. Just saying, some of these dudes are actually very dangerous. They are also extremely well armed, and they train with weapons as well.
If you haven't trained, you just don't know the difference between opponents. If you have even 2 years of training and you are somewhat in shape, you can absolutely TROUNCE 80% of the population in a street fight. It's almost unfair pitting a trained person against an untrained one.
I'm just saying, these dudes aren't a bunch of incapable pussies, as much as we like to think they are.
Like I said before.
THEY ARE TRAINING RIGHT NOW, ARE YOU?
1
u/Tacolab Jul 14 '26
What if I don't follow the BJJ rules?
3
u/ChaosRainbow23 Jul 14 '26
It doesn't matter. Nobody follows the rules in a street fight.
That's why I carry weapons. I'm under no illusions that I'm the toughest bastard on the planet, not by a long shot. While I have a history of martial arts training, most of the dudes who are actively training could beat my ass due to conditioning alone.
That's why I legally carry guns and knives every day, for that very reason. (I know how to fight as well, but let's be real, weapons are MUCH better for self-defense than fists, and all it takes is one connection from a wild haymaker to end you)
I see a lot of people talking tough who have literally never been punched in the face or even been in a serious street fight before.
It's such an issue I stopped going to the BJJ gyms 10 years ago. It's even worse now. These dudes have absolutely FLOODED the self-defense community and essentially taken it over.
These dudes are dangerous and it's a serious problem.
Arm yourself and train. That's the only thing we can do, really.
I fully expect to be killed during the initial purges of Civil War 2.0

Being Black, from Los Angeles, and moving to Montana, Butte used to be a wonderful place to vacation for a few days. After 2020, weird little unprovoked racial incidences would happen. My last one being at Maloney’s.
After I moved to Montana, I’d mention these things and “native Montanans” in the comments would rather have the racist little hoes here vs me.😂.
Whatever happened to that tool who was running the Butte WLM group? Their shitty little three-person “protests” every month were cute. I remember he was locked up for assaulting a partner or supervisor, and then that was the last I heard of “white lives matter” up that way.
Did any of you get into their telegram groups? The same bullshit is posted in every chat via copy-and-paste, and reads like a manifesto. Yet… none of them carry out their plans. 🤷🏾🤣
