💡️ It would be very useful to have a collaborative and authoritative database project —like Wiki but special emphasis on connections — thoroughly mapping out the international far-right networks, including collaborators.

When a name of a listed character like #OmeedMalik shows up, *media* or individuals could link the name there and the project would provide a pop-up rap sheet with link to full research.

It is currently hard even for committed professionals to keep track of these networks and most of the few who do are likely working in semi- or full isolation and struggling to find sufficient funding.
