Issues (June, 2023)

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Three Percenters. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Ideology

The ideology is not clear. According to Malcolm Nance they are (right-)libertarian (see They Want to Kill Americans: The Militias, Terrorists, and Deranged Ideology of the Trump Insurgency, pp. 319-320)

But today there are many more groups, without centralized (national) organization, ergo many more ideologies (e.g., social conservatives, nativists, etc.).

The article needs to be updated: Is it a militia or a network of militias?

The Three Percenters (sometimes styled as III% or Threepers) is a diffuse national network of militia groups and independent activists https://www.icct.nl/sites/default/files/2022-12/Gartenstein-Ross-et-al1.pdf (p. 5)

It should be discussed whether to replace militia with:

Network of militia groups

Extremist gun rights movement

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/10/us/politics/three-percenter-capitol-riot.html

Subset of the militia movement.

https://newlinesinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/20210225-Three-Percenter-PR-NISAP-rev051021.pdf (p. 2)

sub-ideology

https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/three-percenters

We need to specify which Three Percenters group we are talking about

For example, III% Georgia Security Force has its own leadership (Chris Hill), while Three Percenters Original (the dissolved organization) had another leadership. The introduction talks about the leader of the last mentioned group.

I noticed that there are separate article: Washington State Three Percenters

I would suggest including them all in one article. 93.45.229.98 (talk) 11:54, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
