When you say Nazis, you mean actual nazi nazi, or anyone who doesn’t politically agree with Lemmy.worlds world view? Genuine question, like for Palestine for example Edit: nvm you answered it later
When you say “When you say Nazis, you mean actual nazi nazi, or anyone who doesn’t politically agree with Lemmy.worlds world view? Genuine question, like for Palestine for example” do you mean to imply you care about the meaning of words or are you perhaps a little too sympathetic with Nazis?
Just kidding.
I get you’re joking, tho personally, I find the whole nazi thing stupid personally (tho in Scotland you wouldn’t be calling people Nazis unless to be funny). Also as I learn more about history, I see as simplifying the fact Nazis werent the only bad guys. The only technical good guy with the allies was kind of America (at least initially) all the European ally nations (specially, UK, France, Belgium and Netherlands) were all evil nations that did “nazi like things for longer and then more brutally” Bad enough, Britain had “operation legacy” to essentially burn or destory all colonial documentations of crimes. Are Nazis the bad guys because they uniquely awful and despicable? Or is because they killed white Europeans and wanted to create a new empire that opposed the hegemonic power of UK and France. The whole “we did it for the Jews” I don’t buy, the same Europe that persecuted them for years and had been banned or in ghettos in most nations. Do you really think they’d have such a war over a people they despise so much?
Dat fuckin title lmao
Hello my name is Grand emperor centaur of Idaho for the dickless ku klux klan
Holy shit dude, you’re doing god’s work. If you don’t mind me asking, what got you into/how did you start doing it? And do the FBI only care if there in these groups or are they also interested in people saying awful things online. Keep up the great work
When the Charlottesville Unite the Right riots happened, I just began to wonder if I could find the average Nazi on Facebook. Like not Bitchard Spencer or any of the prominent figures, but just average Joe Blow imperial Wizard types. I just began searching for more minor figures, and began linking them all together one by one, and began reporting all their Nazi posts to Facebook and getting their accounts nuked. I was SO good at it and they began to get really paranoid. One night on Ambien I decided to make an account and begin friending them, and little by little it took off. I’ve never had to participate in any Nazi shit, I just allude to “our beliefs” once in a while. Then I began collecting all their photos and putting them on r/beholdthemasterrace so they could be endlessly mocked. Even though they are VERY not social media literate and Facebook is about the maximum they can do (some of them did make it to VK because it’s much less censored but that’s it), one of them did find his picture on there and complained to the Reddit admins who banned me (lest you think Reddit doesn’t support Nazis, they sure do).
Anyway I have a few journalism friends who do work in right wing extremism and I began just to give them information, and met more and more and began helping them with it. I got involved with antifa and we do this in a much more organized way now. We have outed a lot of them to their jobs. We got a Nazi dishonorably discharged from the military, and we catfished Enrique Tarrio into sending us a dick pic.
Re the FBI: three of the White Lives Matter dingdongs were driving to random college campuses in their state and dropping Nazi flyers all over it in the middle of the night as well as defacing the postal office and other dumb shit, so my alt told the local cops who they were and they were arrested, and they connected me with a joint task force agent, and we talk a lot and I give him information when I have it. They are not an organized bunch by and large and most of their shit is really petty but I like having them show up to wherever they are doing their dumb three person protest and have a cop waiting for them. He doesn’t know my real name but everything I have given him has turned out to be true so we have a good relationship; I even found him a few January 6 rioters, including the wife of a deceased prominent Nazi who died in prison who brought his ashes to scatter some in the Capitol building. Pretty wild. I’ve been doing it for ten years next year.
