What happens when you mix Nazi ideology, guns, and My Little Pony? You get a website like Anime Tobacco & Firearms whose new found infamy has come about in the wake of one of their customers going on a Nazi fueled murder rampage.

Josh Blake Williams aka is a 25-year old neo-Nazi from Cement, Oklahoma & the proprietor of the ‘Anime Tobacco & Firearms’ web store that sold the RWDS (Right Wing Death Squad) patch to the Nazi gunman who committed a mass murder in Dallas this weekend. Blood meet hands.

Josh Williams was previously known to anti fascist researchers and operated under a variety of names including ‘Josh the Remover’ and ‘Fash Lord Supreme.’
Yes, you read that right...FASH. LORD. SUPREME

Josh Williams aka Josh the Remover has fucked around for years and is currently in the process of finding out. Thoughts and prayers. It is a 'very unfortunate situation' alright.

Josh Williams immediately took his Anime Tobacco & Firearms store offline after the shooting and is privating or deleting his social media in a desperate attempt to cover his tracks.
You step in Nazi shit, it leaves Nazi tracks.

This Nazi dipshit is terminally online. Josh Williams aka Josh the Remover has profiles pretty much everywhere and then some.

Josh Williams and his Anime Tobacco & Firearms store will likely be visited by the real ATF or FBI soon enough. His Nazi customers' names and addresses are going to be in federal custody in the very near future.

The now deleted Anime Tobacco & FIrearms store is a perfect encapsulation of Nazi dimwit Josh WIlliams of Cement, OK's worldview: Nazi, Groypers, anime, guns...in no particular order. The site marries extreme right wing propaganda with fetishistic anime/lolicon content.

The use of anime & other youth oriented imagery to sell far right ideology reflects not only the suspended adolescence & repressed sexuality amongst the adults involved, it is also a calculated decision to imprint these ideas on impressionable children drawn to the cartoons

This strategy is effective. An Anime Tobacco & Firearms facebook ad for RWDS patches features a gun & skull mask with the exhortation 'Gear Up.'
Note the underage response:
'Once I am old enough in my country to get a gun getting one. Other than that have everything. 14/88'

Alongside patches and stickers, Josh WIlliams' Anime Tobacco & Firearms store sells gun grips and other accessories which feature Nazi, anime and My Little Pony imagery.

The Anime Tobacco & Firearms patch 'Volk ans Gewehr' (People to Arms) references a popular Nazi propaganda song 'Siehst du im Osten das Morgenrot.' The song called for taking up arms & killing Jews & was submitted as evidence at the Nuremberg Trials. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volk_ans_…

Josh Williams' Anime Tobacco & Firearms store makes explicit associations between their products (including RWDS patches) and guns and violent accelerationist ideologies. Selling products via clear calls to violence...what could (did) go wrong?

Josh Williams' childish obsessions are imbedded into his online identities. His email addresses include obscure My Little Pony references like BlindAlicorn3 & more familiar gaming fare like Zeldaboy64.

Josh Williams' Steam history shows a variety of anime and lolicon references. One even suggests he was involved in 'Furry' subculture. He was admin of a gaming group called 'Fashy Bois.'

Josh Williams is an obsessive gamer, there are 180 games in his Steam account. Totalling up just 5 of of them, he logged almost 700 hours of playing time! For perspective, if those were 40 hour work weeks we are talking 4 months of his life on 5 video games!

It is hard to see where Josh Williams aka Josh the Remover finds the time to be a Nazi propagandist and business owner, but he somehow does, maintaining multiple profiles, all spewing racist and antisemitic hate.

Josh Williams is a longtime 'Groyper' & much of his online life is spent boosting Nick Fuentes & gossiping about the drama within his orbit. He has attended some of Nick Fuentes' AFPAC events & waved an America First flag when the dumb trucker rally passed thru Oklahoma.

Josh Williams' hometown, Cement, Oklahoma, has a population of 436. The 25 year old posted that his flight to AFPAC in Florida was the first time he'd been on an airplane, a fact that seemingly illustrates how little exposure he has had to the rest of the world.

Josh Williams bigotry revealed itself early in life. At age 15 he was already describing himself as 'Fascist" and posing for his twitter profile wearing a gas mask and posing with guns.

Josh Williams aka Josh the Remover's high school Youtube pages mix typical teenage fare like light saber battles and Gangam Style dance videos alongside dark Sandy Hook conspiracy theories and other "red pill" content.

In the wake of the Dallas mass shooting, it seems retroactively unfathomable that no alarms were sounded in response to a heavily armed high schooler doing Nazi stuff on the internet.

Josh Williams (aka Josh the Remover) of Cement, OK is really, really, really obsessed with guns.

Nothing to see here, just neo-Nazi incel Josh WIlliams of Cement, OK assembling some potentially difficult-to-trace firearms.
Oklahoma's firearms laws are basically non-existent & you aren't required to register guns there, so this is not necessarily illegal.

But current events (i.e., he sold a 'RIght Wing Death Squad' patch to a Nazi mass murderer) impose a little context onto his activities & interests. gregpalast.com/how-the-texas-…

However, with respect to plans for Josh WIlliams' new 3D printer, the context is crystal clear. The "house vote' he refers to was "H.R. 7910, the Protecting Our Kids Act" which contained restrictions on the home building of 'ghost guns' including 3D printing.

Before we tackle the next aspect of Josh Williams internet life, we want to point out his complete adoption of the far right's misogyny and rhetoric against LGBTQ people.

Sexual identity and freedom is a key element to human liberation so when we dunk on this clown, it is purely for being a bigot AND hypocrite and not for being into freaky shit (which we have no problem with..consenting adults, yo!)

While many of Josh WIlliams' online personas adopted images or names of teenage anime girls, he could also be found using the handle @thebronyduelist. 'Brony' signifies an adult (usually) male fan of 'My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.'
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little…

While not all 'Bronies' interest in the children's show is prurient, there is a significant subculture based around sexual depictions of the characters. mic.com/articles/12279…

Josh Williams is deeply involved in the Brony world.

Using the alias Kaibaman62, Josh Williams has a DeviantArt profile focused on erotic My Little Pony Content.

Josh Williams is a member of 'Play Pony,' a group self described as 'A fan club dedicated to the people that enjoy spending their free time looking at the mature content and explicit pictures of the sweet, innocent nature of the My Little Ponies.'
Truth in advertising

Someone is gonna have to tell us whatever the fuck this means?!?!?!
Seriously, when we do finally get rolled up by the feds, we definitely do not want whatever this is in our search history! It's bad enough as it is. 🫣

Josh Williams also disseminated racist & Nazi propaganda using 'My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic' imagery.
While this might seem discordant, Nazi infiltration of both kid friendly spaces and adult 'Brony' & 'Furry" communities hasan area of concern for years.

The 'Brony' subculture, in particular, has long struggled with far right influences. In 2021 a 19-year old Brony enthusiast murdered 8 people at a Fed-Ex facility in Indianapolis.
rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

It was established that, along with his My Little Pony obsession, the shooter was very interested in Nazi Germany and frequented white supremacist web sites. abcnews.go.com/US/alleged-gun…

An hour before his murder spree, he posted a chilling suicide note on Facebook “I hope that I can be with Applejack in the afterlife, my life has no meaning without her. If there’s no afterlife and she isn’t real then my life never mattered anyway.”

The aforementioned 'Applejack' is a 'My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic' character & Josh Williams' Anime Tobacco & Firearms webstore offers an engraved gun grip featuring Applejack's 'cutie mark.'
Hey, what's that adorning Josh Williams' AR gun?
*Computer Enhance*

Given the overlapping interests in guns, My Little Pony, and Nazism...this seems unlikely a mere coincidence. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

Josh Williams aka Josh the Remover's perverse incel fantasy world of My Little Pony, anime, guns, and Nazism materializes in his Anime Tobacco & Guns web store and the now infamous RWDS patch.

The sudden concern about the ubiquitous ‘Right Wing Death Squad’ merch, memes, etc. is a long overdue acknowledgement of the widespread right wing dehumanization of perceived enemies, political or otherwise. forbes.com/sites/tylerrou…

The powerful meme helped forge common ground between actual Nazis and those who share many, if not exactly all, of the same values but perhaps would prefer to be classified as something else.

Letting Nazis control their characterization is a perilous indulgence. Terms like ‘Alt-Right,’ ‘Identitarian,’ and, to a great extent, ’white nationalist,’ are pure dissemblance.

Their widespread adoption by the media, law enforcement, and governmental agencies lends legitimacy to beliefs that would have far narrower support if branded with a swastika.

Not every white nationalist is necessarily a Nazi. Donald Trump, though inarguably fascist and opportunist, likely lacks the ideological rigour to be a true Nazi.

That said, the alleged overuse of ‘Nazi’ as pejorative is vastly overstated.

The constant & coordinated drumbeat of ‘Everything I don’t like is Hitler’ became a rallying cry from a broad coalition of right wing 'thought leaders.' It's a brilliant use of satire & mockery, effectively minimizing legitimate concerns as hysterical pearl clutching.

The right wing are effectively weaponizing language by misappropriating terms like ‘Communist’ or ‘Marxist’ for any perceived leftist, and ‘pedophile,’ and ‘groomer’ for broad swaths of the LGBTQ community.

A common right wing pushback when confronted with the murderous legacy of adopted icons like Pinochet is that ‘Communists aren’t people” and thus are deserving of murder.

The advocacy of death for those characterised as ‘Communists,’ ‘pedos,’ and ‘groomers’ is a calculated strategy to create a broad class of enemy deemed loathsome enough by the masses to warrant destruction.

Along similar lines, the willful misunderstanding of Critical Race Theory, 'woke,' and the Black Lives Matter movement is an attempt to shift racial justice activism from oppressed to oppressor. timesofsandiego.com/opinion/2023/0…

It is a mere baby step from Soros conspiracy theories to claims of disproportionate Jewish power, which soon leads to blatantly genocidal concepts like the “Jewish question.”

While the right gleefully adopted the “Deplorable” sobriquet as a badge of honor. ‘SJW’ became a shameful scarlet letter(s).

The disingenuous linguistic jiu-jitsu serves to create an environment where bog standard right wing ‘patriots’ find themselves sharing common language with actual Nazis.

It is the ‘my enemy’s enemies are my friends’ scenario wherein more traditional conservatives, who publicly disavow Nazism, would be hard pressed to find policy daylight between themselves and actual Nazis.

While Nazis deflect their labelling by hairsplitting over who controls the means of production, the core Nazi beliefs of extreme nationalism, antisemitism, racism, bigotry, and utter demonization of opposition are becoming increasingly acceptable in mainstream politics.

This all leads to where we are today, where a term like ‘Right Wing Death Squads’ has become an expression of shared values between the traditional ‘America love it or leave it’ crowd and genuine Nazis.

‘Right Wing Death Squads’ is a literal fascist and Nazi call to violence and murder.

Cement, Oklahoma has a population of 436. Perhaps, for Josh Williams, this extreme isolation was a contributing factor in the creation of a 15 year old 'fascist'... that turned into a 25 year old Nazi Brony gun fetishist.

Josh Williams still lives with his parents in Cement, OK. To what extent might his family play a role in this mess? They certainly know of his activities and enable it.

Josh Williams claims his adoptive father has made 'enemies of some powerful people in the county.' This led to an incident where he, thinking a car was tailing him, pulled out a loaded gun, racked it & put it between his legs as a protective measure.

Is this evidence of individual paranoia or a dysfunctional homelife? The more important concern is that Nazi weirdo Josh Williams of Cement, OK, is driving around with a racked pistol between his legs imagining he is being followed. What could go wrong?

CONTENT WARNING: ANIMAL CRUELTY

Animal cruelty is often a predictor of human violence. Josh WIlliams lives on his parents' 145 acre property and we aren't going to debate the necessity of hunting coyotes, but the glee and cruelty he displays in the process is sickening.

This dude has real 'pull the wings off insects' energy about him. Here Josh Williams kills a spider in the wild with a mini-crossbow just for fun. Mind you the spider was living outdoors, in its' natural environment and not bothering anybody. Sick Nazi fuck.

Did we mention that Nazi weirdo Josh Williams is really, really, really into shooting guns?

Dumbass goober Josh Williams of Anime Tobacco & Firearms thinks he is John Wick or some shit.

There is something not quite right about this guy.

What's that expression about fish in a barrel?

As far as we know, Nazi incel fuckwit Josh Williams of Cement, OK aka Josh the Remover has not yet done anything illegal.

However, Josh Williams is a Nazi propagandist. His Anime Tobacco, & Firearms store targets children using cutesy anime & normalises and glamourises violence via his 'Right Wing Death Squad' patches & other similar items.

And most importantly, on May 6th, 2023 one of Josh Williams' Nazi customers, acting in the role of a one man 'Right Wing Death Squad,' murdered 8 people in Dallas. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2023…
