In light of the popularity of these images in response to their stunt, I’d like so share this. It discusses the Australian neo-Nazi equivalent org (the totally-for-real disbanded National Socialist Network), but the message is universal.
They unwittingly hired an antifascist to be their official photographer, which needless to say, allowed activists to gather evidence and resulted in multiple PF members losing their jobs, and attempting to sue as a result (Plaintiffs Paul Gancarz, Daniel Turetchi, Colton Brown, James Johnson, and Amelia Johnson vs. David Alan Capito II)
Antifascists have repeatedly ambushed them, including locating their secret car park where they hopped into a U-Haul to go to a rally
There are videos of them getting beaten into retreat in Philly when they tried to march
There are videos of the Proud Boy fascists attacking up PF-splinter members (‘Rose City Nationalists’) and ripping off their balaclavas
There was an incident where a regional leader “spent the money on drugs” [source: a neo-Nazi drama podcast called The Absolute State of White Nationalism]
They so poorly planned an action against an antifascist neighborhood, that when retreating, a member almost got hit by a train [same source]
They stopped allowing women when two of three woman members snitched (one of them cheating on a member first) [same source]
They stopped allowing teenagers to join (still grooming them, they just can’t officially join) due to a ‘homosexual femboy’ incident, whatever that means [same source]
Their training videos show such incompetence that they literally can’t turn the correct direction when marching [you can find their training videos on the Patriot Fail leak]
At least former one member, when identified as Dillon Oakes, tried to snitch on their org and pretend they were undercover the whole time - “While we do work with former white nationalists who sincerely want to leave the movement, Nazis who pretend to have never been Nazis to escape consequences do not qualify.”
Plenty more, might add some more in replies. They’re a serious issue, make no mistake, but there are far better jabs to make than “they wear masks and conservatives don’t - gotcha!”
Sounds like the same wack ass shit that was going on before the Nazis rose to the top of the shit heap in Germany. The Nazis came out of a cesspool situation just like this with rival gangs splintering and reforming and fighting amongst each other until they were distilled into the Nazi party we know and hate today under a charismatic leader.
I’ll have to give that a read, thanks for the recc!
I’ve started watching an interview video with the author and Kris Goldsmith and already Kris has mentioned they witnessed PF members in 2020 “talk their way through a cost-benefit analysis about deliberately contracting [COVID] and traveling to black and brown neighborhoods to try and spread it” in the belief that members were biologically superior and had better access to healthcare, making potential death “worth the risk”.
Whenever I see Socialist used by morobic organizations that obviously don’t understand what socialism actually means it makes me want to will smith that name out of their mouth -_-

So let’s talk about Patriot Front:

There is a great book on much of this I recommend:
To Catch a Fascist
