John Brown was a scary guy.
I joke about them not being actual rednecks, but seriously, this sounds just as cultish as ANTIFA. I'll bet this didn't originate with rednecks. It spread to them through advocacy. Perhaps indoctrination through public education.

I'd hazard a guess that these are not actual rednecks. Their aims are entirely Marxist and middle class leaning. This is just an attempt to sell their beliefs to the working class in an attempt to claw back those working class voters who would have been pro-union and likely to vote Democrat.I joke about them not being actual rednecks, but seriously, this sounds just as cultish as ANTIFA.

John Brown was a nutcase who just so happened to take up the right cause.

They took the name "redneck revolt" from the coal miners in the Battle of Blair Mountain. The miners wore a red bandana or cloth around their necks to distinguish themselves from those that sided with the mine owners, (Pinkertons, State Police etc.). They don't see themselves as "Red Necks" in the modern meaning of the word, they consider themselves revolutionaries fighting against the "unfair system" and yet they don't seem to be able to define just what the unfair system is they are fighting against.
We have rebels searching for a cause all around us. Why should they be any different?
I always wonder who pays those people, when I was their age I was busy working and raising a family.
I suspect people like soros fund a lot of this stuff. As far as the people go, some of them have jobs. Bike lock dude was a professor. I think there's an organized hierarchy, and possibly college faculty help [STRIKE]recruit[/STRIKE] indoctrinate new members.
The headline says it all:
Unmasking the leftist Antifa movement: Activists seek peace through violence - CNN
So, in typical liberal fashion, its ok so long as they are the ones doing it.
Here's a White House petition to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization. Needs 75K more signatures to force a response from the White House:
