Disgraced neo-Nazi collaborator Joey Gibson () flew alt-right agitator & Proud Boys hate group affiliate Philip Anderson up for a hasty & incoherent "First Amendment rally" (also promoted by Audra Price twitter.com/search?q=from%…) in Vancouver, WA last weekend
Joey Gibson's tired tactic of platforming fascists & neo-Nazis who are organizing for (& carrying out) violence under a transparent shield of "free speech" whining has not evolved much since 2017.
Anderson has long organized with neo-Nazis & frequently uses his between-bans social media accounts to promote antisemitic conspiracy theories & theorists.
Vicious Islamophobia is an expected norm in Joey Gibson's social circles.
Just like many other alt-right agitators & "conservative" Trump emulators, Anderson has recently been trying to pretend that his prior statements regarding his affiliation with the fascist Proud Boys hate group do not exist.
"All we're gonna be doing now is beating the living shit out of all the people trying to stop us."

- Alt-Right Proud Boys hate group affiliate Philip Anderson re: How Fast Life Comes At You.

In light of the Oregon legislature drafting an anti-doxxing bill to be potentially passed in 2021, here are a few reasons why doxxing is an important tactic for antifa and why –as always- there is not an equivalency with the Far Right’s use of this tactic.
wweek.com/news/state/202…
The motivation for the bill is presumably the Far Right use of doxxing to harass anyone who goes to left protests, especially #BLM. So we’ll point out how the right use of the tactic differs markedly from what we do & how a blunt legal instrument could create harm.
The typical right-wing “doxx” uses easy-access, public info from a left protest to pretend every person swept up in a mass arrest is a member of antifa. The low critical thinking of the intended audience makes it unnecessary to produce any evidence for such claims.

The far-right misogynist featured in this video is Timothy Clayton Ryerson. He is licensed (# 536) as a Bail Bond Recovery Agent in Washington state.
You can send in a complaint about Ryerson to the email address found here: dol.wa.gov/business/bailb…
Yesterday Ryerson aka John Dee took credit (along with violent Patriot Prayer follower Chandler Pappas & others) for the theft of the "nightmare elk" from downtown PDX, boasting in far-right facebook groups controlled by Audra Price & Shelby Walman
Ryerson also attended the extremely violent fascist rally on 2020/08/22 in downtown PDX alongside neo-Nazis and fascists from the Proud Boys hate group.

For reasons which remain unclear, Tim required a change of pants partway through the event.

Given some of the recent coverage treating anarchist, antifa, & black bloc as interchangeable terms, we would like to offer up a quick glossary explaining the distinctions between these things. (Hint: none of these are a cabal running BLM. That is a Trump/Far Right lie.)
Antifa: It has been widely circulated that antifa is simply an ideology. However there are 2 primary strains of antifa in the US rn: organized groups who do ongoing antifascist work, and individuals who identify loosely with the term & help out in an ad hoc manner.
In v short summary- the idea of a mass movement, large protest form of antifa in the US is rather recent and relates specifically the ascendency of Trump & the Alt Right that propelled him. This is when most Americans learned the term.

Throwback to that time in June f r e a k i n 2018 when we published the first of a series of articles--all chock full of concrete evidence--taking an in-depth look at the core components of the Proud Boys' white nationalist ideology.
Time for some quotes?
"McInnes has argued that the Proud Boys are the revitalization of an American tradition, a lineage that can be traced back to 19th century fraternal orders like…the violent anti-immigrant political party, the Know-Nothings."
"Another men’s club from the era of McInnes’ nostalgia, the first iteration of the Ku Klux Klan, invented deliberately absurd ranks and titles (Grand Cyclops, Imperial Wizard), and rituals to both intimidate and entertain.”

1/5 The MAGA hoards are quick to point out POC membership in Far Right groups as if that is unassailable evidence that they are neither racist or fascist. We will briefly address this here.
2/5 This is not really different from right-wing women who advocate against feminism. They are providing a valuable service --plausible deniability-- so they receive a lot of personal reward within the movement they are in. Haley Adams started her activist career w/ "himtoo".
3/5 Having a lot of brown faces out front helps these groups tremendously. Tarrio and Gibson have profited personally from their involvement in the Far Right. It's basically a matter of placing self-interest over solidarity.
