26.) Tactically, too. #GamerGate, an explosion of male rage, was a testing ground for the tactics now used by the far-right. White cis male gamers positing themselves as victims, the suspicion of the mainstream media outlets, doxxing, harassment, etc. It's all there.

27.) One of the YouTube personalities who became famous during
#GamerGate was Sargon of Akkad, aka Carl Benjamin. He was a men's rights activist. He still does that, but lately, he's started talking about theories of racial intelligence. Eugenics, basically.Show this thread -

@datasociety just put out a report by Rebecca Lewis, "Alternative Influence: Broadcasting the reactionary right on YouTube," tracing the ties between mainstream conservative pundits and open white nationalists like Richard Spencer: https://datasociety.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DS_Alternative_Influence.pdf …Show this thread -
29.) As you can see from diagram above-- from the excellent
@datasociety report-- Sargon stands right in the middle, serving to connect the optics-minded alt-lite with the open white nationalists of the alt-right.pic.twitter.com/6cUPfXaqQE

31.) In fact, here's Sargon himself palling around with
@WeirdLittleBro, which is John Medlar's new Twitter handle since I exposed his fascist ties. In April, Medlar organized a Proud Boys rally in Concord, MA, with Sargon as a speaker:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmm9nrIUzFk …Show this thread -

@Boston_FS gets along with Sargon because they serve largely the same purpose he does. They're an umbrella organization that serves to connect the disparate parts of the far right.Show this thread -

@Boston_FS connects the misogynistic MGTOWs like Trevor Carey with the white supremacist@PatriotFront_ members like Chris Hood and Matt Smaller and Proud Boys like John Medlar.Show this thread -
34.) How much more will it take to convince the media that
@Boston_FS is a hate group? Hey,@WeirdLittleBro, why is everyone you know a Nazi?Show this thread -
35.) And hey,
@Patreon-- can you cancel Trevor Carey's Patreon? He is literally using it just to make videos about what the@SPLCenter calles a "hate ideology":https://www.patreon.com/chestguyMGTOWShow this thread -

41.) Anyway, it's been fun exposing some fascists from
