This is huge.

Deats has consistently driven big Nazi Twitter brigades even after he was kicked off Twitter, and his channel is one of the largest Terrorgram channels in existence, & drives people to the channels that discuss concrete terror tactics.

Doxxing works. https://twitter.com/WABlackFlag/status/1291260440433922055
I've been monitoring these Nazi Terrorgram channels for a year now, and it's hard to overstate 1) how strongly many of them, especially Sl***k's, have been directly linked to offline terror plots/arrests, and 2) how gutted their infrastructure is thanks to doxxing & deplatforms.
Most of these big deplatforms (both self-deplatforms by the doxxed and Telegram deplatforms driven by pressure and reporting) are the direct result of antifascist efforts, not government/institution work.
Between the damage done by doxxes of Bowl Patrol and Alt-Skull, Terrorgram is reeling.

The luminaries of accelerationism are at each other's throats and terrified of fed crackdowns now their leadership is exposed.
The Terror Nazis are trying to figure out where to go next, and bemoaning the lack of options.

There's Wire and Discord, but Wire is basically just a messaging service.

As for Discord, we follow them there and get their shit shut down immediately, now.
Back when we were working to get 8chan and their Twitter accounts shut down, grifter "deradicalization" and so-called CVE experts were wringing their hands about how deplatforming would just drive the internet terror Nazis underground where we couldn't monitor them.
Well, we shut that shit down, followed them right where they went-- Terrorgram-- and started shutting that down with doxxes and pressure campaigns, too.

Every time this happens, more people leave and it becomes harder for them to recruit.
They don't disappear, not to antifascists.

We're already in there as infiltrators, and where they go, we go, too.

And then we doxx them, report their channels/chats, and deplatform them again.
This is what works.

This is how we eliminate that threat.

Not by grifting through shallow Light Upon Light "de-rad" that gives Nazis mics and money two days after they leave their orgs or so-called CVE that just feeds them ways to manipulate researchers.
Not by catering to their nihilism and shittiness by trying to entice them to "leftism" by creating a "leftism" that encourages racism, uses Nazi memes, celebrates misogyny, and brings literal Nazis into our movement spaces while driving out oppressed people by making us unsafe.
We name Nazi bullshit, we make sure it's extremely costly to make use of it and get involved in it, we shame enablers, and we give no platform or ideological quarter to those who adopt it, act like it's no big deal, or launder it into public space.
That's how you deal with Nazis and the "alt-right."

That's how you win.

That's how you keep them from caplitalizing on the alienation of privileged people playing victim because their sense of entitlement is aggrieved.
Deplatforming and doxxing work is 95% grinding.

It is not especially glamorous, even in in those rare moments of breakthrough when an ID firms up.
It is *actually* the way that we as the left make far right Nazism an unworkable organizing option.

Without it, our other organizing would be under constant, violent assault.
