The Canadian Antihate Network (CAHN) and the CBC have identified over 190 Canadians who were on the now-defunct white supremacist dating site WhiteDate.net. Among them are a number of members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), including Royal Canadian Air Force Major Tristan Armstrong, who apparently left a trail of thousands of posts in far-right forums between 2019-2024. The CAF is now investigating him.

Armstrong's online posts championed Nazi Germany and Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists, really off-the-charts views about Black people, women, and LGBTQ folks.

Another is Ottawa-based naval reservist Brogan Hale ("blueeyedsailor" on WhiteDate.net), who has expressed eliminationist ideas in order to "keep Canada white".

And a third is Brandon Longpré, a self-identified corporal in the Governor General's Foot Guards in Ottawa. Longpré isn't quoted in either of these articles, but having observed WhiteDate closely while it was still up and running, I can tell you that it's pretty inconceivable that anyone could have had an account on there without knowing that it was a forum for people on the white nationalist/neo-nazi spectrum.

The CBC article also identifies the WhiteDate accounts of two already well known Canadian nazis: Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald of the Frontenac Active Club/Second Sons Canada and Exiles of the Golden Age organizer Lane Pommer.

If anyone would like to see the exported WhiteDate files, they're at okstupid.lol.

“The report says such groups are known to radicalize members toward what's known, in law enforcement and security circles, as ‘ideologically motivated violent extremism’ which rationalizes violence against Jewish, racialized and 2SLGBTQ+ people. And yet, it adds, the threat from active clubs is ‘difficult to accurately assess’ because they don't publicly advocate for terrorism or use of deadly force.”

what are ‘active clubs’?

“Active clubs tend to be male-focused groups that promote white supremacist ideals. Their activities range from public protests to vandalism campaigns to social media posts. They expect the current political order will be swept aside, potentially by force, for a new white-focused society…

these groups are not a singular movement. They are part of a decentralized white supremacist and neo-Nazi network.”

The folks at Decoherence Media have unmasked 32-year-old neo-nazi Jacob Daniel Jones of Olathe, Kansas, leader of the Kansas-based Heartland Active Club and a member of Patriot Front.

For the unfamiliar, active clubs are a decentralized network of neo-nazi recruitment groups (most of them are fronts for either Patriot Front or the Hammerskins) that focus on things like mixed martial arts training and working out amid a constant barrage of antisemitism, racism, xenophobia, and misogyny.

Jones has been involved in neo-nazi/white nationalist circles since at least 2019, given that that's the year he left the now-defunct preppy nazi org Identity Evropa after Unicorn Riot released that group's internal discussion logs. So he's not exactly a kid who was accidentally caught up in this and is still "figuring things out." He's long since figured it out, and he's opted for being a nazi.

“In collaboration with @SoCalResearchClub we are identifying neo-nazi Maxwell "Max" Marks, age 22, from San Diego, CA, a SoCal Active Club affiliate working with white nationalists Ryan Sanchez, Nick Taurus, and Richie Black to pummel Orange County GOP politics further into fascism…” 🧵
