It's the Nationalist Social Club, a neo Nazi group that operates heavily out of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Their goons have been spreading recruitment flyers and doing stupid shit all over New England over the last year. Providence has had issues as of late with their flyers posted all over the place and they were the ones that formed a mob at Red Ink last year.

Reply to comment by Proof-Variation7005 in Re: Racism in Federal Hill. by frog20-1

Enough time to feel like most folks in their 80s aren’t getting on a step ladder for a cause they don’t understand at all. FWIW, I live in the area, I’ve read the article on Geno, and before yesterday considered him a “cute feature” of Federal Hill. I assume either A: someone bought him the flag and told him to fly it or B: he knew exactly what it meant when buying it/taking it out of storage and felt it was worth the effort to fly on his property. Either way it’s unfortunate to see and at the very least I hope he’s learned something.

Seriously - between stuff like this (innocent mistake or not), fighting off scammers, getting them the hell off the road, getting them to the doctor, providing “tech support” literally daily - all while they put up a fight for every single one of those. It’s like herding fucking cats.

There’s a lot of people who say the Confederate Flag is a piece of historic/heritage based pride as a euphemism for idolizing racist American roots and slavery. Someone who is 80 and maybe not overly aware of the conversations happening and maybe talks to other ignorant older people could genuinely buy into that garbage

Edit: Based on further stuff posted in this thread it’s clear this dude is full of shit, so clearly this isn’t the case

Nah bro, Stalin and Mao were cool… sips Starbucks and twirls pink hair

“But USSR, East Germany, China, Cuba, North Korea…THOSE ARENT REAL COMMUNISM”.. taps away on iPhone made for 1.00 an hour, ordering clothes from Shein

Funny all the old Commie propaganda I see…none of the people are overweight, or gay, or have pink and purple hair…

Reply to I’ve been looking for apartments (on Facebook) and have come across a lot of postings saying to call/text. Is that a scam? Or do people actually want you to contact them that way? by macwanders

Considering the phone number is based in Maine, I'm leaning towards scam. I've had enough experience hunting for apartments with contact numbers not in the immediate area (RI, MA, CT) to know better. I've gotten ridiculous text responses to voice mails like "you can't see the apartment because the caretaker doesn't have keys" or "you need to leave a Paypal deposit before viewing".
