"a state in which racialized voter suppression, mass detention and deportation, and Fascist-style population engineering schemes reshape American governance and society."

"We should not be surprised that a U.S. government entity was attempting to make nooses and swastikas more acceptable. Each expression of racism has its own history in America, but in 2025 they come together to advance the goal of creating an American ethno-state supported by ideologies of White supremacy and Christian nationalism—"

In 2007 two incidents involving #nooses within the #USCG drew national attention. That summer, a #Black cadet at the service’s officer training academy found a noose in his sea bag while aboard a #CoastGuard vessel. The next month an instructor discussing #race relations in response to the first incident reported a #noose was left in her office.

The changes to the #swastika & #noose classification were part of a broader effort by the #USCG to remove the “concept” of #hate incidents from its regulations [ ala if you don’t test for COVID, then you won’t have so many reports of infection].

…The new guidance says that if a “potentially divisive” symbol is reported, supervisors should inquire about it. After consulting their legal office they may order the symbol’s removal but there’s no further guidance requiring that it be taken down.

The new #USCG policy also limits the amount of time that service members have to formally report the display of a #noose or #swastika — which could be enormously problematic for personnel at sea.

Right on time, the Decoherence Media folks have followed up with new IDs of several people from the nazi accelerationist "Rope Culture" server as well as some additional info on already well known people.

One is Canadian Russian Orthodox seminary grad Alexandre Jacob Duiven, who was a rather prolific online presence for a while under the alias Florian Geyer.

Another is Iron March co-moderator Danilo Totarvaj (aka Змајевит, aka "The Serb"), whose LinkedIn account says he currently works at a small video game development company.

Mikkel Hangaard (aka Natt Danelaw) wrote that he was in a band called Æresblod and "a proud member of Danskernes Parti,” an anti-immigrant party in Denmark. He's also the guy who registered the domain for the Iron March zine.

Virginia Libertarian Party member Nathan Larson also wrote to the forum looking for signatures on a petition that would allow racist mass murderer Dylann Roof to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives. (Incidentally, this is -- surprise! -- not the first nazi revelation from within the US Libertarian Party. She's scrubbed a lot of info from the web, but you may still be able to find some details about South Carolina party activist Kat Snyder, if you search.)

Travis Frey (aka "In Hoc Signo Vinces") used to be a captain at a private ICE detention center in Nevada. What's that? A nazi at the intersection of privatized incarceration and state-sponsored racism? It's all true. And he submitted an article titled "The Greater Holy War," which really fits the worst parts of the zeitgeist.

Finally, Lithuanian self-identified "National Socialist" Lukas Baltrušis Baltrušaitis (aka Teliavelis) regularly corresponded with Iron March leader Slavros and was a member of the neo-nazi group Misanthropic Division. He also helped promote Lietuvių tautinio jaunimo sąjunga (Lithuanian National Youth Union or LTJS), a far-right nationalist organization.

All of these people have extensive records of explicit racist, homophobic, antisemitic, and misogynist commentary and, obviously, by their very participation in (or administration of) the Iron March forum, they were helping to raise the temperature among some of the most violence-prone neo-nazis in Europe and North America.

There's a lot more detail in the article, and the authors did a nice job of threading it all together into a coherent narrative, so it's worth reading in full. But I wanted to put their names up here because, well, that's how it works. They're now in the "find out" stage.

Enjoy!
