cw: Denver mass shooting, neo-Nazism

Lyndon McLeod, aka 'Roman McClay', the Denver mass shooter who just murdered 5 people, appears to have been heavily inspired by neo-Nazi figure 'Bronze Age Pervert' (BAP), a Romanian-American extremist whose real name is Costin Vlad Alamariu
cw: neo-Nazism

The shooter obsessively posted passages from Bronze Age Pervert's neo-Nazi manifesto 'Bronze Age Mindset' inciting acts of white supremacist violence & genocide—including this shocking call to "purify the earth and rid it of the infestation of the human-cockroach"
cw: neo-Nazism

Quoting London neo-Nazi Parallax Optics here, McLeod annotated another passage from BAP's manifesto—in which he disturbingly advocates an "eternal force" that "calls on us to allow ourselves to be possessed by it, and to wage war on its behalf against its enemies"
cw: neo-Nazism, racism

This is just chilling; the Denver shooter Lyndon McLeod here praising Bronze Age Pervert as a man of substance, as someone who "gets it"—before highlighting one of the endlessly horrific racist passages from Costin Alamariu's neo-Nazi manifesto
cw: neo-Nazism, antisemitism, ableism

Denver mass shooter Lyndon McLeod was also an admirer of Bronze Age Pervert's extreme antisemitism, in which "the Jewish way of thinking" is described as "mental deficiency and even r*tard*tion", in opposition to an Aryan ideal of "beauty"
The Denver mass shooter posted that it was "an honor to be mentioned alongside BAP", after Bronze Age Pervert made an appearance on Jack Murphy's podcast
This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of Bronze Age Pervert's clear influence on the Denver mass shooter

More on BAP's deeply disturbing incitements to white supremacist violence can be found in this thread (please heed the content warnings):
cw: misogyny, antisemitism

Three of the five people killed by the Denver shooter were women; extreme misogyny is a defining feature of his idol Bronze Age Pervert's dogma, as detailed in this recent report by @hopenothate and @antisempolicy:

Daniel 'DC' Miller—the American neo-fascist bankrupted alongside Nina Power after their failed 5-year libel claim against me—is highlighted in this excellent Guardian report on recent far-right organising, calling for Trump to overthrow the UK government:
theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…Exit is billed as a participant in Wagon Box’s CCR event, which will include other far-right publishers , along with Murphy’s Other Life and hard-right online magazine IM-1776.  The Guardian previously reported on IM-1776’s support of authoritarian leaders such as Vladimir Putin and El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele; its enthusiasm for extremist political figures such as Gabriele D’Annunzio and Kaczynski; and its close links with contemporary hard-right activists like the culture warrior Christopher Rufo, Erik Prince and would-be “warlord” Charles Haywood.  IM-1776’s literary editor, Daniel Miller...
Before becoming editor of IM-1776, Daniel Miller was a writer for Social Matter, an overtly neo-Nazi publication that called for "segregation and separation" as the "solution" to the "Jewish question"—where Miller used his articles to glorify Trump & 'superfascist' Julius Evola: Screenshot of Social Matter article by Daniel Miller entitled 'Trump And The Sacred'

During my trial at the High Court, Miller was revealed to have been writing anonymously—alongside Nina Power—for ParallaxOptics, a prolific UK neo-Nazi account that inspired the 2021 Denver mass shooter, which was operated by their London associate, Jack Stokoe: Tweet by ParallaxOptics of an article anonymously written by Daniel Miller and Nina Power: ON CULTS II "If we're proposing the the Left is a cult, the first question is what do cults want in general?"

I am delighted to report that I have successfully defended the libel claim brought against me in the High Court by Nina Power and Daniel ‘DC’ Miller, which I have been fighting for over four years.

My full statement on today's Judgment can be read here: luketurner.com/victory-in-hig…
Ms Power and Mr Miller had sued me in respect of 16 tweets, which I posted in 2018-19, as well as the ‘content warning’ of a webpage archive of some of Mr Miller’s own Twitter publications in which I described the nature of those posts.
In her Judgment, Mrs Justice Collins Rice described Ms Power and Mr Miller’s conduct as “aggressive”, “bullying” and that it was “richly deserving of the epithet ‘regrettable’”. The Judge expressly stated that she did not “underestimate the effect it may have had on Mr Turner.”

cw: Nazism

Julian Mathews (pictured) has been unmasked as the operator of prolific far-right account 'Beyond Woke and Problematic'—a one-man propaganda machine notorious for pumping out Sonnenrad-laden memes championing Evola & neo-fascist figures Aleksandr Dugin & Nick Land 🧵 ImageImageImage
According to his public LinkedIn profile, Julian Mathews lists his job as Senior Medical Editor at New York's @juicepharma Image
cw: Nazism, homophobia, antisemitism

Evading numerous bans across Instagram & Twitter, below is a sense of the type of violent, hateful content 'Beyond Woke and Problematic' is known for—the first a repugnant reference to Adolf Hitler's June 1934 'Night of the Long Knives' purge ImageImageImageImage

We need to talk about a troubling red-brown 'gender critical' alliance that seems to be brewing between @guardian writer @SusannaRustin and self-descried "reactionary feminist" and neo-Nazi 'Bronze Age Pervert'-promoter Mary Harrington.
Before sharing Harrington's @unherd article above this morning, Rustin was invited over the weekend to read another piece of hers on a website called Palladium.

(Rustin was doing a spot of decorating, so it's unclear if she did in fact read the piece, or what she made of it…)
Palladium was notably founded by Jonah Bennett, the man behind now-defunct neo-Nazi site Social Matter.

Bennett's antisemitism & enthusiasm for Hitler was documented in this 2019 exposé by @hannahgais, including leaked emails about the "Jewish Question": archive.md/Vx7c0

Bronze Age Pervert: A THREAD

Neo-fascist figure Bronze Age Pervert poses real danger, gaining major traction & influence not only in far-right but more mainstream right & so-called "dirtbag left" circles

I've read his manifesto—so you don't have to—to unmask its neo-Nazi nature
BAP's 2018 'Bronze Age Mindset' can accurately be described as a fascist/neo-Nazi manifesto

It promotes a rejection of modern civilisation, an elevated fantasy of a hyper-masculine Bronze Age Aryan-warrior ideal & the dehumanisation of groups of people as "refuse" to be cleansed
cw: antisemitism, ableism

As is fundamental to most (if not all) fascism, Bronze Age Mindset has at its core an explicitly antisemitic worldview

Here "the Jewish way of thinking" is positioned as "mental deficiency and even r*tard*tion", in opposition to Aryan love of "beauty"

Last week, my panel in Berlin was cancelled by the gallery due to far-right intimidation. I'm grateful for the incredibly kind words of support shown by friends and peers in the days since. 🙏💖

However, there's another, darker art-world response that needs to be highlighted…
Almost immediately following the announcement, several alt-right troll accounts that have been harassing me for months sprang into action, insinuating that Robert Grunenberg Gallery was lying about the intimidation and their reasons for cancelling: Image
Dean Kissick, NY Editor of Spike Art Magazine, then posted this snarky tweet about the talk's cancellation.

Kissick is a long-time collaborator of Ed Fornieles, the @athensbiennale artist caught egging on antisemitic harassment of me by an extreme far-right account last year. Image
