In the past few months Jeremy Mackenzie (tinyurl.com/ycx6ejaw) has been promoting a half-baked concept for a breakaway nation called “Diagalon”. It could best be described as a low-rent Kekistan, but let's take a closer look.

1/13 ImageImageImageImage
According to Mackenzie the states/provinces that are not mandating masks/vaccines make a diagonal line across North America, hence the name Diagalon.

2/13
One of his viewers says that Diagalon should be a “white sanctuary”.
A part of the meme is that Diagalon is at war with "Circulon".

3/13
By the way, Mackenzie himself cites Kekistan as influencial in the creation of Diagalon.
Note: The Kekistan flag which mimics a Nazi battle flag is considered a symbol of hate by the @SPLC.

As mentioned on the @CANADALAND podcast with Liz Simons of @antihateca, Jeremy considers the Mannerbund(a popular song with white nationalists) to be their national anthem.

Jeremy's followers use a sideways (diagonal) Roman salute as a gesture among themselves.

6/13 ImageImageImage
As I recently mentioned, Nazi imagery is common within Diagalon social media spaces.


Also common are racist and antisemitic slurs.

Threats against government officials, journalists.... oh and yours truly are also very common in their discussions.

Whenever I mention things that Mackenzie has said, some of his supporters will respond by telling me that “He's just joking. It's all jokes.”
Well not according to him.

9/13
Jeremy even claims that “serious conversations are happening behind the scenes”.

CW: Ableism

10/13
Diagalon chapters are setting up across the country, and a couple internationally. And there is a lot of talk about guns.

11/13 ImageImageImageImage
Very important to point out that his supporters have no problems displaying their flags publicly, at protests, and with certain politicians.

12/13 ImageImageImageImage
Jeremy and his followers can say “It's just memes bro” or “We're not Nazis, we're ironic” all they want.
We've heard this alt-right gas-lighting before. Charlottesville and Jan 6 already happened.
Nobody is falling for it.

New from me: Jeremy Mackenzie wishes for genocide against Jews and more Diagolon hate speech

In an unshocking admission, Neo-Nazi Paul Fromm attended the Diagolon RageTour event in Hamilton(Jarvis), Ontario.

Background on Fromm from @ARCCollective :

I've repeatedly made the case that Diagolon is a Neo-Nazi movement. Associating with Fromm is just another example of that.







But let's see some of the things the Diagolon streamers have said lately.

New from me: Is it time to start referring to Diagolon as a Neo-Nazi movement?


Here me out on this one. It's a valid question. I'll give an overview on Twitter but there is more detail and examples in the blog post.

1/17canadaantifa.blogspot.com/2023/12/is-it-…
I've been working on this blog post for a while. This clip is from Dan Sleno's Halloween live stream.
He recommends a 1940s Nazi propaganda film.

2/17
And here he gives a Roman salute on a stream with Alex Vriend.

I was working on a thread that would likely have been 60+ tweets long so instead I reached out to @ARCCollective to write for the blog again.



I will tweet some of the highlights though.
Strap yourselves in for some infighting. 🍿🍿

Some of this is related to Ezra Levant's claim that Jeremy Mackenzie is a "fed", which has already been covered.



An update to that story is that Jeremy is suing Ezra.

Rohan Kumar Pall AKA: Warcampaign went after Jeremy, which isn't the first time.



He's clearly on team Jeremy McFedskie which isn't surprising.

Bryan Trottier actually refers to himself as a bully-slayer. This from a guy that harassed someone to suicide.

He claims that he was a part of the left until "identity politics". 🙄

1/5
Bryan claims that he never saw any white supremacy.
I guess he never looked in the mirror.



2/5
So the group he was a part of wasn't an "extremist right-wing group" according to Bryan.

You mean La Meute? Because they definitely were.
