>Nuggetfest is one of the most completely legal meet-ups.
I didn't know that "legal" was a gradable adjective.
>forbes
>high level english writing
Pick one.

>On the official website for NuggetFest, it states that attendees can expect a weekend full “of hiking, target shooting, camping out, cooking around the campfire.” But according to numerous emails with Travis Geil, 27, a blue collar worker in Michigan and the beating heart and organizer of NuggetFest over the past two years, the weekend is more about challenging stereotypes.
>the weekend is more about challenging stereotypes
Travis, you master troll, you.

>/k/...regularly features discussions on women in the armed services, the history of American military uniforms and what knives are the most reliable.
Really?? The only thing in that list that I've seen with any "regularity" is scammy threads purporting to sell you white supremacist camouflage.

Or are you trying to make this a hate NE thread instead of a hate CC thread?

Because it would be pretty incrimination to hate NE but never CC

Just about every state or at least neighboring states were doing them up until recently

I'm in southern california. Just graduated college and I'm a waiter, so I can't really afford to take too much time off work to travel across the country and shoot with my /k/ friends

When is that? I haven't seen anything for it, last I heard of one close to me was march or may in 2015 in Nevada

>>30077728
This shit is exactly why I refuse to go to any organized meetup.

i remember before these organized shitfests 2 /k/omrades would simply spontaneously meet up after realizing they were in the same area, keeping it low-key and casual. Nowadays, such a thing is unheard of thanks to faggotry like Nuggetfest making everyone afraid that they will appear in the media's latest smear article. Organized meetups literally only serve to hand the media ammunition to use against us.

If you truly care about /k/ you should boycott any organized mass meetup, especially if it has a thread.

Lel wot.

/k/omrades meeting up casually happens ALL THE TIME, mostly since they convert each other and the gun community is actually really huge.

These organized mass meetups are anything but, they only cover maybe a very small fraction of who is on /k/ and is willing to travel and shoot each others guns to have fun. You'd have to be literally retarded to think somehow that groups of people shooting in America actually warrant any media news at all, barring any 4chan incidents.

Too bad every time someone spergs the fuck out they grab the pictures from the meetups, leading to life ruination.

Some of us have jobs a with actual value.
The article itself even said so.

>>30079554
>Too bad every time someone spergs the fuck out they grab the pictures from the meetups, leading to life ruination.

This has barely happened at all, and only affected maybe selected dox'ed tripfags partially and of course the MN guys who were under criminal investigation now.

I don't really think you are that special to warrant "life ruination". Especially if you follow normie rules and don't go full autismo, at least on camera.
>>
>>30079554
what are you even talking about, the article does not show anyones actual face and only names those who participated in the article, outside of the very early meets nuggetfest site A the MN meet and maybe 1 more /k/ very quickly adopted OPSEC on all pics that the participants did not wish to identified in, and all photographers who posted images on the board agreed and followed through with blurring faces and any personal information
>>
>>30079604
And now with people from outside /k/ attending? They definitely won't give the participants the same courtesy.

It's a lost cause. Avoid!

I'll give you a hint: Dylan Roof (psycho white boi who killed a bunch of niggers in a church) was a big fan of Rhodesia. If you own Rhodesian paraphernalia, it means that you believe in white dominance over the black race.

wew, poor troll

>>30080452
The lies I'm talking about are the ones pertaining to racism in Rhodesia. The former breadbasket of Africa, and the continent's last hope for peace, justice, and the rule of law.
>>
>>30080459
Because you compared wearing Rhodie camo to going out dressed like a SS soldier.
Which is fucking retarded.
>>
>>30080464
If there was no racism, then why did the blacks react so violently to evict their white overlords?

>>30080465
Actually, it's not all that different. The only distinction is how overt your signaling is.
>>
>>30080394
Not everyone chans. People who don't are going to need it spelled out. if it all looks stupid from the outside looking in that's because it is, and that's not a bad thing.

>People complaining about normies and publicization
Sperging in a corner does nothing for second amendment rights. Nuggetfest is brilliant outreach.
>>
>>30080455
Are you saying that Zimbabwe is better off with Mugabe?

The country is in ruin. The currency is a joke. They need constant support from the west, because they drove out the white farmers that kept the people fed.

Racism and communism destroyed that country.

It was like South Africa back in the day. Good industry, black and white co-existing side by side. Fighting commies and fucked up dictators side by side.

Then the machine won. We feel a connection to those great times. It was a time of prosperity.

White people long for the times of uplift. Germany after WW1, British Empire, Rhodesia.

It's not racist. The people during the times might have been if judged by todays standards. But longing for those times isn't.

>black and white co-existing side by side
The same thing happened in the southern half of America up until about the 1860s. It was such a peaceful coexistence, with no fighting. Whites and blacks co-existed side-by-side, each having their own purpose in society. It was a great time for both races.
>>

Holy fucking shit. We Forbes now.

Does anyone know how or when creep was approached for the article? Or did he go to the author?

It feels really weird to see my name written in a news article.

Im actually pretty impressed to see that we weren't painted in a negative light with words like "fanatic" or "right wing extremist". The author seems to be pretty unbaised with the story. Bravo!

>>30080455

Up until Mugabe, even DURING THE WAR Rhodesia was producing more food than it could eat thanks to generations of white farmers who knew the land and how to farm it

Post-Mugabe, white farmers have all been kicked out or killed, and now you need a wheelbarrow full of fake ass US bills to buy a loaf of bread
