2/ First, a bit of background. Super Happy Fun America is the new name for Resist Marxism, a far-right group founded by Kyle "Based Stickman" Chapman in 2017. In 2018, leaked chats revealed that RM was a front for antisemites working with neo-Nazis.https://thinkprogress.org/resist-marxism-front-for-far-right-organizing-9bd959325ae1/ …

3/ Eventually, that name became so toxic they changed it to "Super Happy Fun America," but the media still knew what they were. See this piece by
@thatcaseyquin on how Resist Marxism shifted its focus to anti-trans hate.https://thinkprogress.org/boston-straight-pride-means-more-far-right-abuse-of-trans-people-a4ed06427125/ …Afficher cette discussion -
4/ First up is John Hugo, Super Happy Fun America's President. As of 2018, he was a GOP candidate for Congress. Now he's hanging with a group of violent far-right activists. You can read more about him here.https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1212774909987999747 …

8/ We've got some new faces in the crowd, too, which makes sense. Super Happy Fun America needs to recruit, seeing as Michael Moura, Resist Marxism's spokesman, is currently in jail for 34 counts of harassment. See this thread from

9/ First up is Hal Shurtleff, a longtime organizer with the far-right John Birch Society. The JBS was founded in 1958, and is old enough to have opposed the Civil Rights Movement, and spread antisemitic conspiracy theories under the guise of anti-Communism.pic.twitter.com/KvA4B8rqzj
