DoomsdaysCW<p>Meanwhile, in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maine</span></a>...</p><p> How Concerned Citizens Drove a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NeoNazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeoNazi</span></a> Out of Rural Maine<br> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristopherPohlhaus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChristopherPohlhaus</span></a> wanted to build a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascist</span></a> training compound in America’s whitest state. His neighbors had other plans. </p><p>by Mira Ptacin | The Atavist Magazine | October 31, 2024 </p><p>"The first step in establishing a neo-Nazi compound is to clear and level the land. These sites tend to pop up in rural America, which means that there’s brush to hack down, tree stumps to pull up, and piles of debris to burn. All this work is done to make room for the barracks, kitchens, and meeting halls where modern-day devotees of Adolf Hitler will live, work, and train together.</p><p>"When Christopher Pohlhaus moved to the forested lot where, like other neo-Nazis on other forested lots before him, he planned to start a fascist revolution, he brought two RVs with him. That meant he had somewhere to bunk down at night. But he didn’t have running water. I can’t say how he bathed when he first arrived; as for other matters of hygiene, perhaps he used the woods.</p><p>"Pohlhaus’s parcel of 10.6 acres does not have an address. Technically, it’s in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SpringfieldMaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpringfieldMaine</span></a>, a hamlet of fewer than 300 people. The closest city, about an hour’s drive away, is <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BangorMaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BangorMaine</span></a>. That’s where Pohlhaus, a gym rat, eventually joined Planet Fitness. To get home after a session of lifting, showering, and doing whatever else he needed to do, Pohlhaus would take Route 2 north, then turn eastward on Route 6. He would drive to Bottle Lake Road, take a right, and drive about two miles before taking another right on a gravel lane called Moores Road. Eventually, among scattered hunting camps, Trump banners, and 'Support the Blue' signs, he would come to a metal gate situated on a dirt road. Behind the gate sat the land of Pohlhaus’s dreams.</p><p>"Pohlhaus, 37, is a former U.S. marine, an itinerant tattoo artist, and a hardcore white-supremacist influencer. He is loud and hostile, and proud to be both. His voice is pitched surprisingly high, and he has a slight Southern drawl. He has a large body and small bald head; a blue-black tattoo crawls up the right side of his face, from his chin to his forehead. Over the years, Pohlhaus has collected thousands of social media followers, who know him by his nickname: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hammer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hammer</span></a>.</p><p>"Hammer had been living in Texas for a few years when, in March 2022, he bought the land in Maine. He told his followers that he was going to use it to build a haven, operational center, and training ground for white supremacists. He invited them to join him. Together, he said, they would plant the seed of a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteEthnostate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteEthnostate</span></a>, and they would engage in violence, if necessary, to nurture it. 'An unarmed man sacrifices his family to the unpredictably [sic] of chaos,' Hammer wrote online in 2021.</p><p>"Hammer packed his bags and headed north, meeting with various white supremacists along the way. He solicited donations for his new compound in the form of cryptocurrency, and later set up a page on GiveSendGo, a Christian crowdfunding site. He raised close to $10,000 before the campaign was shut down earlier this year.</p><p>"Once he’d settled in Maine, Hammer kept his followers abreast of his progress breaking ground, frequently posting photos and uploading videos to Telegram. There was Hammer standing next to a pile of freshly chopped wood, snowshoeing through the forest, holding a beer in front of a bonfire. Followers saw him cradling an AK-47 in his arms. (Caption: 'All this Slavic war training in the Maine woods has me exhausted!') Hammer posted footage from a celebration he held with about eight of his followers, where he claimed they sacrificed a goat. Another clip showed Hammer helping a man in a balaclava slice the palm of his hand as part of an initiation ritual.</p><p>"Hammer appeared excited, optimistic. He was careful—or thought that he was careful—not to reveal his exact location, lest it attract unwanted attention from his enemies, including the media and the FBI. If people wanted to join him at the compound, they could get in touch directly.</p><p>"But unbeknownst to Hammer, he was being followed. A longtime <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mainer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mainer</span></a> was determined to wipe the smirk off the neo-Nazi’s face. Indeed, he hoped to run Hammer out of the state for good."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://longreads.com/2024/10/31/how-concerned-citizens-drove-a-neo-nazi-out-of-rural-maine/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">longreads.com/2024/10/31/how-c</span><span class="invisible">oncerned-citizens-drove-a-neo-nazi-out-of-rural-maine/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nazis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckNazis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoPlaceForHate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoPlaceForHate</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GlobalProjectAgainstHateAndExtremism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalProjectAgainstHateAndExtremism</span></a></p>

These are not the brightest <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/neofascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neofascists</span></a> out there,' said Jon Lewis, a research fellow at George Washington University’s Program on Extremism. 'But they are committed to the cause. They are single-minded in this mission now: for revenge, for retribution. And as we’ve seen before, they are willing to go across state lines and use violence in furtherance of their goals.'</p><p>"An analysis of Proud Boys’ social media channels by the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism identified a surge in online activity following the January 6 pardons, including discussions of ramping up real-world activism to help further the Trump administration's agenda. 'Posts from Proud Boys groups reveal an emboldened network, with members fantasizing about mass deportation schemes and threatening to escalate their attacks during <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrideMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrideMonth</span></a>,' the GPAHE said in a statement. 'These developments point to a broader alignment between extremist groups and the Trump regime, raising urgent concerns about public safety and the normalization of far-right violence.' A North Carolina chapter, via its Telegram channel, proposed carrying out 'bount[ies on illegals.' A chapter in upstate New York gleefully circulated a rumor that Immigration and Customs Enforcement was offering $750 rewards to turn in undocumented <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigrants</span></a>.</p><p>"In the years since the Capitol riot, as dozens of Proud Boy members and leaders copped charges for the insurrection, the group became increasingly elusive and unpredictable. They pivoted away from large-scale public demonstrations—which would often involve 100 or so Proud Boys descending on a city, clad in yellow and black, reeking of beer, looking for media attention and fights—and instead embedded themselves into hyperlocal culture wars across the country, in many cases aligning themselves with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristianNationalists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChristianNationalists</span></a>. They started showing up to small protests against vaccines, crashed school board meetings, and intimidated attendees at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/drag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>drag</span></a> brunches. For the most part, they stayed away from cities or towns where they were likely to encounter opposition.</p><p>"Though they mobilized in a few instances in support of Trump ahead of the 2024 election, it was, overall, fairly lackluster, especially compared to 2020. This drove speculation that the gang was on its last legs.</p><p>"Then, on Monday, as Trump was taking the oath of office, more than 100 uniformed Proud Boys marched through the streets of Washington, DC, led by their south-Florida chapter.</p><p>"It was a striking scene—one that seemed intended to send a clear message: 'We’re back.'"</p><p><a href="https://www.wired.com/story/proud-boys-comeback-revenge/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wired.com/story/proud-boys-com</span><span class="invisible">eback-revenge/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nazis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckNazis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoPlaceForHate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoPlaceForHate</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GlobalProjectAgainstHateAndExtremism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalProjectAgainstHateAndExtremism</span></a></p>
