Thread by @DrJavadTHashmi

In this thread, we will discuss @Haqiqatjou's racist bent & white nationalist connection.

1/ We should not be surprised here because Dishonest Dan's grift & livelihood is based on expanding his viewership, & there is a large market for intellectual dark web & racialist ideas.

2/ As Melanie Phillips writes, @Haqiqatjou is at the forefront of an emerging "unholy alliance between Republicans and Islamists," although I think it is more fair to say "the far right & Islamists."

3/ @Haqiqatjou has platformed 3 avowed white nationalists & had lovely "bro chats" with each of them.

The first one I will mention is Mark Collett, a British Neo-Nazi who was so extreme that he was kicked out of the British National Party (BNP). These guys had a blast:

4/ As Wikipedia notes, "In 2019, Collett founded a far-right, fascist, and white nationalist hate group called Patriotic Alternative."

5/ The second white nationalist Dishonest Dan platformed is J.F Gariepy, a white nationalist who is considered the "standard bearer of the alt-right."

@Haqiqatjou & Gariepy had a lovely time with each other:

6/ Gariepy is a French Canadian white nationalist & "calls for the creation of a white ethnostate, promotes antisemitic messages, and advocates for the genetic superior of white people."

7/ And thirdly, @Haqiqatjou had on Daryush Valizadeh ("Roosh") who is known as "one of the most public and reviled online misogynists" (very much on-brand for Dishonest Dan), but he also advocates for ideas of white ethno-nationalism.

Lovely "bro chat" again:

8/ Roosh became an avowedly religious Christian but has carried over his misogynistic & white supremacist ideas, making him a perfect Christian counterpart to @Haqiqatjou:

9/ Now, you might be saying, "Wait a sec, Daniel is not white -- he's Persian!" But keep in mind that Roosh himself is not technically white & you don't have to be white to sign on to white supremacist ideas:

10/ With the rise of fascism & Nazism in the 1930s, Reza Shah Pahlavi changed the name of the country to "Iran," meaning "Land of the Aryans." Many Persians prided themselves on this & even today many consider themselves white.

11/ When Gariepy seemed to consider only Europeans to be white, @Haqiqatjou seeks to correct his racial understanding, implying that Central Asians (& thus Iran) should also be included.

@Haqiqatjou also notes that he, like Roosh, is white passing (1:12:04).

12/ @Haqiqatjou buys into the idea that races exist & that they have different inherent racial characteristics. According to Dishonest Dan, "different races have different strengths." Persians are known for their "academic" & intellectual prowess:

13/ Well, what special characteristics do blacks have? Gariepy starts talking about how race & IQ are correlated,with not a peep from @Haqiqatjou in protest. I'm pretty sure Daniel thinks men are smarter on average than women, not far from some races are on average smarter too.

14/ Gariepy then talks about the correlation between race & violence, saying black people in the US & Africa have higher rates of criminality than whites. Daniel does not contest this. Instead, he simply explains that "certain races" (blacks) need a greater controlling mechanism.

15/ So, @Haqiqatjou suggests that higher rates of black criminality can be explained by the fact that they need religion & traditional society more than white people do, since white people are more "independent minded" & are thus less prone to "anti-social" behavior.

16/ Gariepy, @Haqiqatjou's white nationalist buddy, understands exactly what Daniel means & actually says he "love[s] this idea." Gariepy "like[s] the hypothesis" that "religion can play this kind of whipping effect on certain minorities" (blacks) & gives the example of Africa.

17/ This perspective was recently expressed by another akh-right character, echoing @Haqiqatjou's sentiments as we shall see.

18/ @Haqiqatjou has expressed standard right-wing views towards blacks & crime. When the world was reacting with heartache at the murder of George Floyd, Dishonest Dan was making fun of him, calling him "Fentanyl Floyd."

19/ Apparently it was a drug overdose that killed Floyd, not the knee on his neck.

20/ Breonna Taylor, another black women who was killed by police, also falls under @Haqiqatjou's ire, & he smears her as "the girlfriend of a drug dealer."

21/ @Haqiqatjou then asks why it is that we focus on all these black people being killed & ignore this white kid that was killed by a black man. And he makes sure to mention that Brown's IG bio reads, "Thug life." We all know what word people want to use when they say "thug."

22/ @Haqiqatjou comes closer to using the N word, calling certain opponents "wiggers," including Imam Suhaib Webb & others who he thinks "act black." Daniel tries in the debate to claim that this is a slur against white people, but it is obviously denigrating black culture.

23/ As is now common in far-right circles, @Haqiqatjou thinks that the people facing racism are not black people, but rather, white people. What's up with all this "anti-white sentiment" he asks? "This is not right," he declares.

24/ No surprise then, when the white nationalist boot licker @Haqiqatjou says "I love white people" in his discussion with Gariepy (1:17:05) & also says this with Collett (2:20:00). PLEASE ACCEPT ME, pretty please.

25/ @Haqiqatjou sees a natural alliance between "the far-right" (which includes these white ethno-nationalists) & Islamists like himself. These "white supremacist[s]," after all, are "calling for 'White Sharia.'" The overlap seems obvious.

To be continued...
