The current image for Right-Wing Militia Fanatic is just a bunch of guys in fatigues with guns standing around next to a van which has the words "white power" on it. A better picture would have them actually voice their ideology and plot terror attacks.

I think the following image may encapsulate the idea better, even if they aren't physically attacking anyone.

I prefer the current; it's more clearly "right-wing". And we don't necessarily need to show them actually planning or committing violence; the guns and the outfits show the "militia fanatic" part clearly enough.

The white power logo is the only thing that indicates any sort of right wing Ideology in my opinion, but I see what you are saying.

Current more clearly says 'right wing' (White Power) and 'militia' (guns are shown, as opposed to being talked about), and fanatic (they are dressed in militaryesque camo, but an actual military organization hopefully wouldn't have "White Power" emblazoned in places). I guess it does lack the Conspiracy Theorist angle, but it's on the whole not that weak to me. Suggestion kinda seems like a more generic "today is the revolution" speech, especially since they seem to be trying to end a war, so I'd rather keep the current.

Yeah, keep current. It actually shows the militia and right-wing part, with the fanatic part easy to infer. Suggestion just looks like some ordinary dudes in a crappy apartment talking about a revolution; it relies entirely on the text for you to tell that it's even related to the trope, and the text doesn't really scream "militia" or "right-wing" to me.

Keep current. There's enough visual cues going on.

Current is fine; suggestion is too reliant on dialogue.

In hindsight, that does seem to be a problem with my suggestion.

Looks like we've got consensus for a keep. The tag's updated; locking up.
