CONTENT WARNING
Racism, misogyny, queerphobia, antisemitism, references to sexual assault and other violence. As disturbing as this content is, it's important to show examples of this person’s hateful ideology in his own words, rather than simply describing it.
The stated purpose of Deseret nationalism is to create a Mormon, or Deseretian, ethnostate ruled by a theodemocracy.

We will have a full article on Nima Cheraghi coming out in the near future. Stay tuned.
Deseret nationalist Nima Cheraghi was easy to find as his friend, Cameron, doxxed him under his @/bladezedits handle. Thanks!
The pfp he used on that Twitter account matches the same image for his Academia page, recently deleted but archived here: archive.ph/sx4Y3
Although he's had multiple Twitter account IDs and numerous different handles, he tends to use the display name “Nim” and his friends also refer to him by this name.
CW: anti-immigration, racism
Nima Cheraghi is an anti-immigration racist. To be clear, he doesn’t just want to prevent people from crossing the border illegally; he wants to stop all immigration, including legal immigration, which he refers to as “the invasion.”
Cheraghi most often describes himself as “middle eastern” and “white,” although he sometimes claims otherwise when he thinks it will give him more credibility in an argument.
CW: racism
From Cheraghi’s perspective, the problem with racism isn’t the fact that it exists, but rather that not enough white people are racist. He sees this as a problem because he believes there is a systematic effort to eradicate white people; by “refusing” to be racist.
CW: racism
In fact, Nima Cheraghi defines success in life as "not having to live near black people."
CW: racial slur
Nima Cheraghi participated with other Deseret nationalists / DezNats in a racist "N" tower:
CW: antisemitism
In addition to believing that everyone else on the planet wants to exterminate white people, Nima Cheraghi flirts with other conspiracy theories, like Holocaust denial, and the idea that Jews secretly control the government of the United States.

Nima Cheraghi:
CW: antisemitism
Cheraghi posts antisemitic memes on Twitter. The centuries-old stereotype of Jews having large noses and other grotesque features was used extensively by Hitler’s Nazi party to evoke disgust against Jews in the German population; Nima uses it the same way.
CW: antisemitism
Cheraghi also uses the antisemitic “echoes” meme, in which anything surrounded by three sets of parentheses is understood to be Jewish, or an element of the Jewish “conspiracy.” The meme was created by neo-Nazi blogger and podcaster Mike “Enoch” Peinovich.
CW: misogyny
Cheraghi’s ideas about women are equally bizarre and disturbing. He says women are property, and that they “don’t want equal relationships,” but also thinks “Women don’t know what they want” and therefore men “shouldn’t care about what they want.”
CW: misogyny
Nima Cheraghi claims that being “openly misogynistic” has doubled the number of women who are interested in having romantic relationships with him, although he provides no evidence to support this claim.
CW:
In June of 2020, Nima Cheraghi pretended to be a law student so he could lecture a rape survivor about the US Constitution. Several times during the conversation, he accused her of making false allegations, including telling her point-blank, “Not sure I believe you.”
CW: homophobia, violence ideation
It should come as no surprise that Nima Cheraghi also spreads harmful, false stereotypes about gay people. He asserts Jesus was a homophobe. He also suggests that he’d like to kill gay people by stoning them to death.
When Nima Cheraghi is not harassing people online, he occasionally exercises his 1A rights. In Nov 2020 he was spotted at a “Stop the Steal” rally in Salt Lake City; on Jan 6 of this year he was in DC, where he livestreamed part of the “march to the capitol” on periscope.
Finally, here's what Nima Cheraghi has to say if the "founder" of the hashtag tries to say he's not a part of DezNat:
Current Info
In May 2021, Nima Cheraghi graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science. In Feb, he joked about needing recommendation letters, indicating he may be in the process of applying to graduate school....
We don’t know where Cheraghi applied, or whether he got accepted. What we do know is that we wouldn’t want to find ourselves in a lab or a carrel next to this guy.
