The vast majority of domestic terror attacks in the U.S. are carried out by white supremacist organizations. Atomwaffen, a neo-Nazi death squad with five killings to their name, is probably the deadliest fascist group to have arisen since 2016. /1
One member of Atomwaffen, Vasillios Pistolis, was an active duty U.S. marine when he marched at the first Unite the Right rally. Pistolis also posted regularly on a series of fascist and white supremacist Discord servers, prior to and after joining Atomwaffen. /2
The media collective Unicorn Riot has archived hundreds of thousands of posts from these Discord servers. Their database includes dozens of conversations where fascists discuss how they were converted to their extremist beliefs. /3 discordleaks.unicornriot.ninja/discord/user/1…
Bellingcat collected “red-pilling” stories from seventy-five fascist activists. The analysis is below, details on the activists we studied can be found here. /4 docs.google.com/document/d/1kp…
What is red-pilling? An online community develops its own lingo over time. Among fascist activists “red-pilling” means converting someone to fascist, racist and anti-Semitic beliefs. /5
The term originates with “The Matrix,” a popular 1999 film. The protagonist is offered the choice between a red pill, which will open his eyes to the reality of a machine-dominated world, and a blue pill, which will return him to ignorance and safety. /6
The definition of “red pill,” as used by fascists, is rather elastic. Films and songs are described as “red pilled” if they reinforce a far-right worldview. At least one poster referred to amphetamines as red-pilled. /7
There appears to be no agreed-upon standard for when a human being is red-pilled. Most fascist activists agree that acknowledgement of the Jewish Question, or JQ, is critical. This means believing that Jewish people are at the center of a vast global conspiracy. /8
The end goal of this conspiracy is usually described as “white genocide”, but there are numerous variations. /9
Red pilling is described as a gradual process. Individual people can be red-pilled on certain issues and not others. /10
Stefan Molyneux, a popular author and far-right YouTube personality, is seen as being red-pilled on race and “the future of the west” even though he is not considered as a fascist. /11
Prominent YouTuber PewPewDie is also often considered red-pilled. It is accepted that media personalities need to hide their outright fascist beliefs, or “power level”, in order to have a chance at red-pilling the general population (usually called “normies”). /12
How to red-pill others is a constant topic of conversation. In this thread one user talks about how he “skirted the jew question” in order to red-pill a co-worker. Instead, he claims to have exploited his co-worker’s hatred of “SJW”s. /13 discordleaks.unicornriot.ninja/discord/view/3…
Other users advise starting the red-pilling process with the JQ. Disagreements mainly center around which techniques are most effective. The overall goal is quite clear. /14
The “normie” to fascist pipeline: Pres Donald Trump is seen as having red-pilled many Americans. A number of fascist activists credit his candidacy as the start of their awakening. This conversation between users Buddy Hobbs & ecce_lux is a useful breakdown of how that looks. /15
“The great meme war” is a reference to time this user spent on 4chan and possibly 8chan, creating far-right memes in order to red-pill other people during the election. /16

This is Caesar, he is Russian and a father of four, he decided he had enough of Putin and terror so he joined the Freedom of Russia Legion. He is now the FRL's deputy commander and has led sabotage ops inside Russia itself.
He vows to never stop fighting until Putin is dead. #3E #StandWithUkraine
Caesar: “As a citizen of Russia, I am partly responsible for what my country is doing." “All citizens, excluding children, the elderly and the disabled, must bear some responsibility for Russia’s actions,” "I am prepared to die to defend Ukraine and for the cause of a free Russia,”
Caesar: "Those who came here with arms in their hands are killing women, children and the elderly. They are criminals, they are bastards,” “I have to kill the bad guys to protect civilians in Ukraine. I’m not a sadist. I don’t enjoy killing people, but that is part of my service, my duty."
Former US special forces soldier working for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), Anthony Aguilar, recounts how a 5 year old Palestinian kissed his hands to thank him for the food he gave him. Seconds later, Israeli soldiers executed the starving child. #3E #FreePalestine 🧵
Aguilar, called the joint US Israeli humanitarian effort “amateur,” “untrained,” and “criminal.” He also witnessed IDF and US contractors firing artillery, mortars, and tank rounds into crowds of starving and unarmed civilians.
Israel and the GHF responded to Aguilars testimony by attacking his credibility and painting him as a disgruntled employee, despite a mountain of evidence and third party accounts backing his claims.
Israeli companies, ISCAR, Vargus, Carmex, and EROJET, are supplying tools used in Russian weapons production, including S-400s and Su-35s, which target civilians in Ukraine. #3E #OpCanary
In 2024 alone, Russia imported over $10 million worth of Israeli-made precision tools used in missile, radar, and jet fighter production. These include CNC compatible drills, milling cutters, and alloy instruments essential for high-tech weapons manufacturing. #OpCanary
The largest contributor is ISCAR, a top Israeli firm owned by the U.S. based IMC Group. Despite its Russian subsidiaries being officially dormant, ISCAR tools worth over $4 million reached Russia, routed via intermediaries in China and Uzbekistan to evade sanctions. #OpCanary
More Patriot air defense systems are headed to Ukraine. NATO’s top commander Alexus Grynkewich says prep is underway for a rapid transfer, led by Germany.
“We’ve been told to move as quickly as possible.” Germany will finance two systems, and several other NATO allies plan to pay for three more.🧵
Lithuanian Defense Minister Dovilė Šakalienė announced that Lithuania will join the purchase of Patriot systems for Ukraine and plans to allocate up to EUR 30 million. The decision was announced after a meeting of the defense ministers of the Baltic countries with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The push comes as Ukraine faces some of the heaviest Russian bombardments since the war began. Patriot systems remain critical for protecting urban centers and intercepting ballistic and cruise missile attacks.
The US is the largest consumer of drugs, child rape media, and weapons in the world. Three major industries that would collapse if the US had a working government, responsible population, and proper judicial bodies.
Even if all borders were shut for a 100 years and all foreigners removed, if the entire country was put under a police state, the US will find a way to be biggest consumer for all these industries. The problem will always be "someone else", when there is no accountability.
MAGA and Trump are not outliers but vocal reflections of what the rest of us have always seen the United States as. They are the unaccountable hate virus that props up mediocrity and criminality that defines the United States. A new country is needed, with a reset of principles.
Most of the online piling targeting AOC is coming from neo-soviets (backed by Russian influence ops) and Israeli influence networks masquerading as leftists. It's always been the same hammer and sickle crowd holding hands with Nazis and ultimately collaborating.
A current tactic by Russian/Israeli-backed neo-Soviets and pseudo-leftists is to legitimize figures like MTG and Matt Gaetz by laundering their image through Palestine-Israel discourse, 'I don’t agree with them, but this time...'" its all over social media right now.
These networks are also amplifying the Druze insurrection in Syria by framing it as a fight against 'radical Islamists,' while propping up accounts and influencers that paint Assad as a protector of minorities and delegitimize the Syrian revolution as a western ploy.
