Before they rebranded, Identity Evropa trained members in how to discuss white nationalism while side-stepping accusations of racism.

The training was given by a longtime employee of the Leadership Institute, which trains mainstream conservative groups.

Since renaming his group American Identity Movement, Identity Evropa leader Patrick Casey has privately bragged about success reaching the "boomer patriot crowd".

He cited recent interviews he has done on InfoWars as evidence of the strategy paying off.

unicornriot.ninja/2019/americans…
One of Identity Evropa’s reasons for renaming the group was to use conservatism as cover to avoid being banned from web platforms.

The hate group is recruiting thanks to @twitter, @digitalocean, @namecheap, & @protonmail letting them use their services:

As of March 2019 Identity Evropa aka the American Identity Movement was fundraising via @Zelle.

Comment given by @Zelle for our story a few weeks back seems to indicate IE/AmIM has been banned by Zelle, but we haven't been able to fully confirm this.

unicornriot.ninja/2019/identity-…
What we can confirm is that in recent weeks, Identity Evropa aka the American Identity Movement has switched to using a @PayPal account to collect dues from members.

We took a deep dive into the American Identity Movement's infrastructure to disprove their claims to be "not a rebrand" of the neo-nazi group Identity Evropa.

Their new nonprofit filing doesn't hide the connection, and even uses an Identity Evropa email.

unicornriot.ninja/2019/identity-…
After being banned from Discord & Slack, Identity Evropa/American Identity Movement uses self-hosted @mattermost chats to organize & recruit.

According to Patrick Casey, the chat could only be shut down by their web providers (@digitalocean & @Namecheap)

Unicorn Riot has released hundreds of pages of leaked confidential Homeland Security (ICE/HSI) manuals, including this "For Official Use Only" guide for canceling citizenship of naturalized Americans unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake… (#Icebreaker Pt1)
Jennifer Chang Newell at @ACLU told Unicorn Riot, "The denaturalization efforts are in line with the Trump Administration’s policies stripping DACA and Temporary Protected Status from hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have been contributing to this country for years."
ICE/HSI asserts a variety of avenues for supposedly proving a naturalized US citizen "lacks good moral character" in order to strip their citizenship, in the leaked manual our media organization published.

Neo-Nazi leader Patrick Casey claims that his new group 'American Identity Movement' isn't just Identity Evropa with a different name.

If that sounds like a lie, that's because it is. We got the receipts:

unicornriot.ninja/2019/identity-…
Our latest investigation shows that Identity Evropa renamed their @SlackHQ workspaces, but the same exact chats remain active under their new "American Identity Movement" name.

The group's press release claims they're "not a rebrand" of Identity Evropa.

unicornriot.ninja/2019/identity-…
We also reviewed the 'Donate' button on the new 'American Identity Movement' site and found they are using @PayPal to process payments with the same email address that Identity Evropa used to accept funds through @Zelle.

A thread about someone so antisemitic he was thrown out of the antisemitic Labour Against the Witch Hunt. Credit to Laura for calling it out
Nb this is the very unpleasant Labour Agains the Witch Hunt
It’s good that very blatant antisemtism is being called out but crikey does it have to take the literal blood libel on the front of a newspaper before someone (not even the bookshop owner) realises?

"#Nationalism" is not patriotism. It is not pride in one's country, it is not belief in your ideals, it is not wanting what is best for your country. It is not the antonym of "#Globalism". Be aware of its true meaning. 1/
The #Nationalist believes in the inherent superiority of their tribe. That could be simply everyone born under a certain flag or king, but Nationalists are often quick to say that "certain" people who look, pray, or believe differently aren't "real" citizens of their nation. 2/
Since #Nationalism believes "goodness" and "right" are inherent to a tribal identity, it has been used since the days of Napoleon to justify conquest and oppression, even on the race occasions it hasn't been deeply intertwined with racial tribalism. 3/

Read. This. Thread.
It's gutting. Pain & suffering caused by #racism is a layer of daily fear, misery & danger white people can't imagine, even as they perpetuate it.

This thread tells white people what to do to disrupt racism.

Do it. All whites benefit from racism. Change it.
It's a fact that most white Americans have no black friends, follow no black writers, activists, influencers on social media, read no books by black people.

White people can't disrupt #racism without knowing the breadth/impact of it and how we white people benefit from it.
Thus far not one white person I have asked "name a book by a black writer you've read in the past month or even year" has had an answer.

But I have been blocked for asking the question.

Y'all are proving my points about racism. And underscoring the need to start here, now.

I have a pretty interesting story brewing for you guys. It has to do with young activist violence, and the way certain organizations are treating these flashes of confrontation like a war for the very spirit and soul of America.

I snuck into a DSA meeting for this one.
Also, anyone who plans to attend the "Boston Free Speech March Against Far-Left Violence" should know that they plan on shutting it down.

I saw people doing security with the Boston chapter of the DSA that had black/red bandanas on.
The DSA often publicly disavows the violence that occurs from their own side, but internally they justify it as self-defense, and don't really mind instigating/facilitating it if they have the numbers.

They think the cops (slang: pigs) are a de facto arm of the Alt-Right.

I’m not surprised that an inclusive, race conscious (not colorblind) Black Conservative, like #TimScott could see right through what his “colorblind” Senate colleagues couldn’t! The judge’s writings sound eerily familiar, so familiar to alt right talking points on gender & race.
And if you look at the publication that the Judge wrote for “The Stanford Review”, whose founder is Peter Theil, it gets even weirder. Why? Because it’s been alleged that Peter Theil (a gay billionaire) has always had major problems with diversity — he even wrote a book on it.
Peter Theil wasn’t born in America; he was born In Germany, and then he later lived in South Africa 🇿🇦. In college one of Thiel’s African American doormats said “One day I heard a rumor that Peter defended #apartheid (which was then still the law of the land in #SouthAfrica)
