A rifle was confiscated today at a Portland protest. Based on the sticker that adorned it, I suspect the guy carrying it was more on the Boogaloo end of things than anywhere else.

Dead Tyrants Society is a veteran owned lifestyle brand for gun lovers.

They sell stickers and tactical patches and the like. Their store is closed right now so I can't tell you their precise inventory.

But their Instagram gives you an idea of their politics.

I find this post particularly interesting. This is very much a fashwave looking aesthetic. Which does not mean these folks are fascists, as variations on the style became increasingly common this year.

But check out the comments. Interesting use of "deplorable".

Obviously, whoever owned this weapon could have come across the sticker by accident. But the Dead Tyrant Society folks are very strongly anti-Communist and definitely not leftists.

(They are 100% correct that Pol Pot was a monster but their use of 'communism kills' is telling.)

Here's one guy commenting on that image, and explaining why he fights against "leftist ideology".

This one is interesting too, especially the use of the term "usury", which makes me suspect there may be some covert antisemitism on display. Curious what @nezumi_ningen thinks.

Ah, fun. Someone sent me this link to an out-and-open fascist (he is followed by famous Nazi Augustus Invictus) who posted a sticker pack he received from Dead Tyrant Society.

It is extremely telling. Note the Death's Head patch.

This post about the Yugoslav war, by the operator of the DTS account, starts off seeming like legitimate historical interest. He notes that the story is complicated.

Then another commenter states that history education is controlled by the Jews. The owner of DTS agrees.

I feel confident confirming that the Dead Tyrant's Society people and their fans are very antisemitic.

This post @pdxpartisan found suggests they are Boogaloo types, and also fantasize about shooting "antifa".

So to conclude:

The rifle confiscated at a Portland protest today belonged to someone who was likely far right, if not an out fascist.

I was just sent this by @hungrybowtie, in case there was any doubt about these people.
