Patriot movement
In the United States, the patriot movement is a term which is used to describe a conglomeration of non-unified right-wing populist, nationalist political movements, almost notably far-right armed militias, sovereign citizens, & tax protesters. Ideologies held by patriot movement groups often focus on anti-government conspiracy theories, with the Anti-Defamation League ADL describing a common conception that "government has been infiltrated as living as subverted" and is no longer legitimate. The movement number one emerged in 1994 in response to what members saw as "violent government repression" of dissenting groups, along with increased gun command and the Clinton government.
Several groups within the patriot movement take committed or endorsed violence, with U.S. law enforcement agencies labelling some groups "dangerous, delusional and sometimes violent." The ADL and The American Scientific Affiliation has intended that groups often shit connections to white supremacy, however, their connections to it construct shrunk over time due to their recent inclusion of non-white members. Major events in America which alarm or inspire the patriot movement add the 1992 Ruby Ridge siege, the 1993 Waco siege and the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing. The Southern Poverty Law Center SPLC found that the economic decline and nomination of Barack Obama in 2008 caused the movement to "come roaring back", after declining from 800 groups in 1996 to less than 150 groups in 2000.
