I mean let's be real, the Kerrville Nazi who was going to do a mass shooting at a Walmart was planning a copycat of the Christchurch/Poway/El Paso/Oslo format inspired by Breivik. But he also runs a fascist "support group"... this is going to be a weird rabbit hole. /1

As many have said, there are no lone wolves. There's a massive social media presence of fascism across platforms, not to mention the clearnet, etc. As we'll see, Blevins is just one part in a much broader, complex system. /2 communemag.com/wolf-age/

The alleged thwarted Walmart shooter had a Terrorgram account of his own called KorbyKorbak, where he went by the name Korb Seppükrieg and supposedly claimed to be a journalist for Vice as well as a hardcore fascist. Other Terrorgramers thought he was a fed. /3

On February 1, after the big Terrorgram purge, Blevins ("Korb") started InJekt Division as "a support group with teeth." He needed a different kind of help. Fascism is never the way to go. Tragically, his people are continuing to support him. /4

InjektDivision has 254 subscribers and several core members. Blevins posted as Kørbe before switching recently to "Korb Taran" (the last name likely a nod to Christchurch shooter, Brenton Tarrant). There are other channels posted there from "JIHADWAFFEN Division." /5

Why "InjektDivision"? This is basically a suicide cult based on Atomwaffen aesthetics/ideas but with a twist:

Coleman Thomas Blevins is a massive drug addict. He was once arrested for possession, then shortly after getting out on bail, he got arrested again for possession. /6

Injekt Division's "support group" started to gain new members, the channel started to grow online, and Blevins and co started printing t-shirts. /7

Regarding their religious composition, they boasted of combining a mix of Islamic, Asatru, & clerical fascism. One of their members is seen burning an Israeli flag. They also hope for a nuclear Holocaust, a la Atomwaffen Division. (fyi, "irl posting" means terrorist attack...) /8

An ID member went on a DLive stream called Echochamber, and it seems like Injekt Division was tied to the National Revival Movement, which appears to have carried out at least some propaganda actions. NRM seems linked to the National Partisan Movement. /9

"While the NPM is led by a 15-year-old boy from America, most of its members reside in Europe. In total, the group counts just over 70 members" /10

One Injekt Division member is a Texan called MHameedi_XII here on @Twitter ... hi there, mods! uhhh... mods? anyone home? /11

One of Korb's supporters appears to be the Estonian chapter of Feuerkrieg Division, which has been tied to bomb plots in the US. (FD is led by a 13 year old Estonian). /12

Now for the ideology... One interesting text he had: Revolt Against the Modern World by Julius Evola. This is a sort of Traditionalist attack on modern civilization from the perspective of spiritual awakening. It inspired fascist terrorists throughout the 1960s and 70s. /13

Combine this ultranationalist "spiritual awakening" with the Saudi flag and Koran, and you tap a deep vein in the fascist tradition going back to Johan Von Leers, Ahmed Huber, Claudio Mutti, and even recent Atomwaffen murderer Devon Arthurs. /14

But Traditionalism is not always committal. That's why we also have the Russian Orthodox and Falangist flags. The Christchurch shooter also had a fetish for Slavic religious wars against Muslims, and obv the far right have a huge thing for "White Russia." /15

While Evola actually opposed Christianity by and large, he loved the predominantly-Catholic fascists of the Spanish Falange, because their version of Catholicism included the martyr cult of José Antonio, and accompanying passions of sacrifice, hierarchy, and violence. /16

And for a little added anti-modernism, we have the ecofascist "pine tree gang," which is like survivalism on rabies, seeking to overthrow industrial civilization and replace it with "traditional" patriarchal and ethnocentric ultranationalism. /17

If you look at the Christchurch shooter and El Paso shooter, who had probably the most formidable manifestos, they both advance ecological arguments against modernity based on anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and anti-immigration politics. /18

Would be interesting to hear if he's a Trump supporter—Christchurch and El Paso shooters both praised Trump but said he wasn't going far enough. And this guy has the Turner Diaries, which culminates in a fascist attack on the US Capitol. Soo.... /19

I'm prepared to call this "post-Trump terror," which takes all the lessons from Trump-era mass shootings, and applies them nihilistically to a world in which they have no great sovereign to support. It's more "black pilled" but just as dangerous. /20

Long story short, drug addicted fascist suicide cults are bad. The internet facilitates the growth of these types of networks. We even see open members on Twitter spreading fascist propaganda. It doesn't have to be like this. /21
