Weltschmerz à GogoThree Illinois Nazis IDed in/around Chicago:Three members of a local white nationalist group have been identified thanks to the work of anonymous antifascist infiltrators.Using license plates from their vehicles and personal details shared in a private vetting chat, an activist who gained access to their inner circle identified the men behind the group as James Hammans (37), Džiugas Dirzys (22), and Arkadiusz Kowalczyk (38). Unraveled has verified the information collected and confirmed the identities of the three men.The Windy City Active Club (WCAC) is responsible for numerous white supremacist propaganda incidents across Chicago and the west suburbs, some of which caught the attention of local media and police departments. This includes a vast amount of stickering, leaving flyers on vehicles, displaying banners over highways, and demonstrations at holiday events.<a href="https://unraveledpress.com/exposed-white-nationalist-group-responsible-for-hate-spree-across-chicagoland/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://unraveledpress.com/exposed-white-nationalist-group-responsible-for-hate-spree-across-chicagoland/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NeoNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeoNazis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fcknzs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fcknzs</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ActiveClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActiveClub</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Chicago" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chicago</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a>

Weltschmerz à GogoOn the night of Jan. 4, four avowed white supremacists entered a secure multi-industry property just across the Tennessee River that includes a nuclear power plant.Two of those men, Aiden Daniel Cuevas, 19, and Aidan Christian Stamper, 19, hail from Madison, Alabama. The other two men are identified as Brandon Dean Crews, 24, of Iuka, Mississippi, and Logan Gulbranson, 18, of Cole Harber, North Dakota. The Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Office has charged all four men with felony trespassing and burglary in connection to the incident....“If you look at what these four gentlemen post online about what they believe in, the ideology that they follow, and the belief that they hold in their heart: these are accelerationist neo-Nazis,” Tischauser said. “These are young kids—some of them are still teenagers—committed to bringing about a nationalist socialist society. And they’re willing to use violence to achieve this objective, at least according to their social media posts. It could be bluster, they could be trying to troll people and make people like me look foolish—but I tend to trust what people say, especially when it’s about violence.”...“Accelerationist neo-Nazis see attacks against electrical grids and infrastructure as helping to accelerate the collapse of our social system,” Tischauser said. “They think that the race war is right around the corner.”<a href="https://www.alreporter.com/2025/02/25/alabama-white-supremacists-charged-with-trespass-burglary-at-nuclear-power-plant-site/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.alreporter.com/2025/02/25/alabama-white-supremacists-charged-with-trespass-burglary-at-nuclear-power-plant-site/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/accelerationism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accelerationism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mississippi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mississippi</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NeoNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeoNazis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SeanKauffmann" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SeanKauffmann</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ActiveClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActiveClub</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PatriotFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PatriotFront</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fcknzs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fcknzs</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/infrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infrastructure</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nuclear</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesShifting our focus from fascist politicians and fascist political policy for a moment, I'd like to share this short explainer by the White Rose Society about the growing street nazi organizational tactic known as "Active Clubs," updated from an original submission by the White Rose Society to an Australian Senate Committee investigating right wing extremist movements in that country.<a href="https://thewhiterosesociety.writeas.com/active-clubs-and-accelerationists-neo-nazi-tactics-and-strategies-in-australia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thewhiterosesociety.writeas.com/active-clubs-and-accelerationists-neo-nazi-tactics-and-strategies-in-australia</a>Active Clubs & Accelerationists – Neo-Nazi tactics and strategies in Australia"Active clubs rally their members around the motto “Tribe and Train,” portraying themselves as contemporary Aryan warriors preparing for a racial conflict while advocating for “White unity” in support of their perceived communities. There are active clubs throughout the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Europe, Latin America and New Zealand. Currently, all active clubs in Australia fall under the umbrella of the European Australian Movement and the National Socialist Network, though there have been other short-lived independent active clubs in Australia over the last two years."As the above quote indicates, while this material was originally produced for a government inquiry in Australia (that seemed more worried about obscuring the existence of violent fascist organizations or gangs there,) the Active Club model is a Pig Empire-wide phenomenon. In the past, I've written a little bit about Active Clubs and the American creator of the organizational model, Robert Rundo, but it now seems clear that despite Rundo's legal troubles in the United States, nazi Active Clubs are a problem that's here to stay. If your local street nazi crews have started to organize around MMA training, custom active wear, and militant accelerationism, there's a pretty good chance you're looking at the Active Club model in action.On one hand, what we're really talking about here are white identarian, neo-Nazi street gangs and it does no good to aggrandize them. On the other hand, Rundo himself created the Active Club model after fleeing to Europe and hooking up with numerous other violent nazi groups to swap tips, tricks, and organizational techniques. Furthermore the growth of Active Clubs in the street nazi scene all over the Pig Empire makes it clear that these groups are a plague that is both persistent, and spreading. Although I've repeatedly told you that fascism itself is a legalist, top-down political philosophy and that fascist regimes are invariably installed by nazis bearing official papers and wearing badges, the truth is that brownshirts have to come from somewhere and even street nazi gang violence is still violence; and thus a danger to anyone who opposes these ideas, or simply doesn't look like the street nazis themselves. It never hurts to know your enemy, and recognizing a nascent neo-Nazi Active Club in your area might just be the difference between stopping it, and being a victim of the violence these groups inherently bring.<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nazis</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ActiveClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActiveClub</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antifascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteRose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteRose</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesWhen writing about fascism in our society, I generally focus on the fascist-enabling activities of our ruling classes; billionaires, the media they own, the politicians they buy, the academies they found and so forth. This is because on the whole, I'd like to believe that *most* people already know that open street nazis are a problem, and are unlikely to be "tricked" into supporting roving gangs of dangerous fascists patrolling our neighborhoods to enact violence on behalf of a fascist ruling order. Every once in a while however, these two forces will intersect in a very public way that exposes that the street nazis, and the rich empowered fascists, are in fact working together on a larger fascist project in a very tangible way; and that's where this article by Arturo Dominguez over on Unicorn Riot comes in:<a href="https://unicornriot.ninja/2024/as-neo-nazi-active-club-grows-charges-against-its-founder-dismissed/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://unicornriot.ninja/2024/as-neo-nazi-active-club-grows-charges-against-its-founder-dismissed/</a>On the surface, this story is about the activities of a man named Robert Rundo, who is unquestionably a neo-nazi organizer who engages in street violence to further fascist political causes. He founded the "alt-right" Rise Above Movement (RAM), and is now working on an increasingly popular type of KKK-inspired neo-nazi organizing known as Active Club; you can read more about what an Active Club is in this article, but the short version is "a violent neo-nazi street gang that organizes and recruits online." This is all very useful information for anti-fascists, and at this point pretty much everyone in our society who isn't a fascist, should be an anti-fascist first and foremost - or we're probably all cooked.Crucially however, Dominquez also takes this analysis a step further to talk about the larger social forces, and institutional support working to empower street nazis like Rundo, and violent expressions of fascist organizing like Active Club. For example, the article notes that a US District Court Judge (Cormac Carney) in California recently dismissed all charges against Rundo for "a series of violent attacks at political rallies in 2017, including events in Huntington Beach, Berkeley, and San Bernardino" - attacks which included assaulting a police officer. The judge's "reasoning" for doing so explicitly referenced common fascist propaganda about the "selective state punishment" of nazi violence, and he ultimately let the guy walk because, I kid you not, "what about ANTIFA?" I couldn't make that up if I tried; the decision is of course being appealed, but here you have a US District Court judge adopting a fascist conspiracy theory, to release a violent neo-nazi organizer who has actively admitted he *did* the crimes he's being charged with; and society at large, barely even blinked.As the article notes however, this goes far beyond the clearly fascist inclinations of a single judge. The larger society-wide normalization of fascist propaganda, ideas, and hate speech towards a broad swathe of the population the fascists are trying to marginalize and even eliminate, has a direct connection to the recruiting efforts of neo-nazi thugs like Rundo, and neo-nazi groups like Active Club. In part this effect is being driven by the turn towards open fascism in right wing American politics, and fascist political leaders like Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and of course elected reps all over the Republican Party (Marjorie Taylor-Green, Lauren Boebert, Steve Scalise, etc.) But it's also being fueled by an American media complex more than happy to trade in fascist conspiracy theories, and reactionary rhetoric against groups who ultimately represent the targets of these violent fascist street gangs. Furthermore, it would be a mistake to assume that this demonization of targeted groups and normalization of fascist propaganda is coming entirely from the American right. After all, whether you call migrants at the American border an "invasion" or a "crisis" you are still accepting the neo-nazi framework that "brown people coming to our country" is in fact a larger social problem that must be addressed; an inherently fascist, white supremacist idea if there ever was one.<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Media</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ActiveClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActiveClub</a>
