More people than I thought were interested in the image of a right-wing extremist dating site from 2014 that I shared yesterday. Actually, such sites have a long history.

The Aryan Dating Page, for example, dates to the 1990s. Here are some b&w screenshots. ImageImage
In the early 2000s, noted white supremacist Tom Metzger tried to set up a site but never quite got it off the ground. He would also occasionally post dating advice from his followers. ImageImageImage
In the early 2000s, Austrian right-wing extremists started Germania Flirt. Here's an article about it. Image
2003 saw the premiere of WhiteDate.org.

That same year there was a Yahoo Group that served as an Aryan Dating Page, but I have no images from it. Image
I should note white supremacists also often uploaded profiles to body rating websites like FaceTheJury.com, as these examples illustrate: ImageImage
The White Revolution website offered Selectively Single, which ran for a fair number of years. Image
In the 2010s, WhereWhitePeopleMeet had a brief shelf-life. Image
And still in operation is the website WASP Love ImageImage

This is a thought-thread about the Supreme Court, though confusingly at first seemingly about something else entirely.
In antebellum America, issues related to slavery trumped party politics for most Southerners. Slavery, and the social system built on top of it, was perceived as under dire threat (it was under threat, but the perception was more dire than the reality). One of the main problems
was that at the time slavery was seen largely as being geographically delimited--leaving aside projects like annexing Cuba, slavery's expansion was limited. But the expansion of slavery was crucial merely for the survival of slavery, in a political sense.

1. Leaving aside the specifics of this incident, this is a good reason why trainers need to be knowledgeable on what they train. Telling someone "put together a

I know this is a long shot, but is there anybody out there who might have access to issues of Dental Management magazine from circa 1978? I believe there are some extremist classified ads in the back that I'd like to see.
Okay, this tweet had garnered far more interest than I ever imagined (some people appear to have followed me because of it!).

For those asking for more info, I really don't know more than the below. The main ad I'm looking for would be Tax Strike News, a tax protest newspaper.
Update: someone may have found the reference for me! I've seen a partial page, waiting for the whole page. Will post, and give credit/shoutout when that happens. Looks like the reference was not actually a classified ad but something else.

Isn't Twitter wild?

Warning: a typical Pitcavagean thread begins here. Read on at your own peril.

Note the phrase below, "we want our statement to resonate with the sheeple." The word "sheeple" is commonly used by people in the far right to refer to the American people, who passively believe
whatever the government/New World Over/media/Jews/Deep State/Name Yer Enemy tell them. When I began researching right-wing extremism in 1994 it was already on everybody's lips. Was it always this way, though? When did this phrase emerge? (or, given its simple construction, how
many different times did it independently emerge?"). Some words you can look up the etymology of, but slang terms are more difficult. However, you don't have to be an expert in order to do Internet sleuthing using Google Books and specifying various time ranges. The results

1. Secession efforts--which happen regularly--tend to bore me. But this one, promoted by Biedermann and the so-called Texas Nationalist Movement, is interesting (to

The U.S. has a deep history of right-wing violence, so much so that many shocking incidents are largely forgotten. One such incident, which occurred in Woodburn, Oregon, in 2008, involved a father and son pair of anti-government extremists, Bruce and Joshua Turnidge.
The elder Turnidge, Bruce, once tried to start a militia and later told people the OKC bombing had been a good thing. Financial difficulties and fear that Obama would institute gun control caused them to decide to build a bomb with which to rob a bank, theoretically solving their
cash problems and allowing them to buy guns as well. Their harebrained scheme involved planting a bomb outside a bank, then phoning in a warning to clear people out. Apparently they thought they would then be able to rob it. Police were called in, but could find no bomb in the
