that's because of the organizing led by TPAction, which is the fascist political arm of Turning Point USA, which itself can't be political since it is a non-profit. this is somehow legal in our current system lol. you can just branch off an affiliate org and retain control and that can be political because it's different! it's separate! TPUSA is going to spread wherever it is allowed because they are navigating on the fine line of legality and they exploit that shit.
Do you have a source on that? I'd like to be proven wrong
a source on what, exactly? not being flippant, i assure you. TPAction is a registered organization with TPUSA, and the way our laws work forces TPUSA to remain "non-political," so in order to maintain the image of being non-political they spun off a political arm named Turning Point Action. you can look it up, basically. it's the only way TPUSA can act politically, so any time you are seeing TPUSA organize and move it's through their "TPAction" group. does that make sense?
What has this got to do with King's Army?
..? if King’s Army is being supported by TPUSA then it’s through TurningPoint Action.
That claim is what I'm asking for sources on. What source do you have that says they are being supported by TPUSA? King's Army's website says they are non political.
Their website says they’re non-political, and their actions are organising street protests about "morality" in London’s main gay district.
A generous interpretation would be that you’re naive.
That wasn't politically motivated, though. Nor were they advocating political change. It was likely an attempt at exorcism/evangelism
oh I see, you just literally don't know what words mean.
They were chanting "Jesus saves" not "Ban homosexuality"
….what the hell are you talking about lol. hello, this thread is your source? the post you’re responding to? the post that says TPUSA has a branch in the UK that supports King’s Army? i don’t understand what the hell is being questioned lol.
are you talking about financial funding? i don’t know if TPUSA is funneling money to King’s Army, but that wouldn’t surprise me. TPUSA is supporting them regardless of it being financial or political.
why is it relevant? Hitler supported animal rights, yet I'm not out here calling vegan activists nazis (even the radical ones)
wtf are you-- dude lol. i was merely explaining how TPUSA organizes its political arm. that's it.
It's unrelated to the King's Army from what I've found.
