Atlanta Antifascists :antifa:<p>NEW ON OUR SITE: "The Atlanta Anti-fascist Guide to Wheatpasting"</p><p>"In today’s environment, social media is important, but fascist-friendly tech oligarchs have instituted many censorship choke points that keep anti-fascist messages from spreading. Even posting something as basic as 'punch a Nazi!' might be enough to get you banned. As a result, many people are confused about what fascism actually is and how to resist it. Sometimes, seeing one simple wheatpasted message in day-to-day life creates a visceral connection and can have more impact than a thousand social media upvotes. Showing solidarity to the victims and targets of fascism and lifting their spirits is another crucial purpose of these physical messages."</p><p>Read more at:<br><a href="https://atlantaantifa.org/2025/02/25/the-atlanta-antifascist-guide-to-wheatpasting/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">atlantaantifa.org/2025/02/25/t</span><span class="invisible">he-atlanta-antifascist-guide-to-wheatpasting/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antifa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antifa</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antifascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antifascist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antiracist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antiracist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/atlanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atlanta</span></a></p>

Google my name. I now know what I need to do,' he said.</p><p>"The researchers looked up Brendan and discovered he had been the leader of a US Midwest faction of Identity <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Evropa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Evropa</span></a>, a notorious white nationalist group rebranded in 2019 as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIdentityMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanIdentityMovement</span></a>.</p><p>"Brendan had led the white nationalist group up until two months earlier, when activists exposed his identity and he lost his job.</p><p>"Researching Brendan further, the scientists also discovered he had attended the deadly '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniteTheRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniteTheRight</span></a>' rally in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Charlottesville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Charlottesville</span></a>, Va., in 2017.</p><p>"They later reached out to Brendan asking him to clarify what he meant by his comments at the bottom of the survey.</p><p>"'Love is the most important thing,' he told them. 'Nothing matters without love.'</p><p>"'This is stuff you can’t really put into words, but it was so profound,' Brendan said of his experience with the drug.</p><p>"Brendan took MDMA in February 2020 as part of a University of Chicago study. </p><p>"'I conceived of my relationships with other people not as distinct boundaries with distinct entities, but more as we-are-all-one. I realised I’d been fixated on stuff that doesn’t really matter, and is just so messed up, and that I’d been totally missing the point.

'But now I can recognise that those kinds of thought patterns are harming me more than anyone else.'</p><p>"Brendan said he had leaned left while growing up but became more right after joining a conservative fraternity at the University of Illinois.</p><p>"He described feeling encouraged by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DonaldTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DonaldTrump</span></a>, noting, 'His speech talking about Mexicans being rapists, the fixation on the border wall and deporting everyone, the Muslim ban – I didn’t really get white nationalism until Trump started running for president.'</p><p>"He said he joined Identity Evropa to meet others who shared his views and quickly rose in the ranks, eventually traveling around the US and Europe to huddle with other white nationalist groups. He likely would have continued along this path had his identity not been exposed, Nuwer noted in her article.</p><p>"Harriet de Wit, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at the University of Chicago who led the experiment, was still astonished by its results nearly two years later when speaking with Nuwer for her book.</p><p>"'Isn’t that amazing?' de Wit said. 'It’s what everyone says about this damn drug, that it makes people feel love.
