This Week in Fascism #2: Doxxing Cops & To Hell With Nazi Metal

Welcome, fellow anti-fascists! This is the second installment of The Week in Fascism, a weekly roundup of the latest and greatest happenings in the anti-fascist world.

This week, we tackle the issue of why so many cops are turning out to be members of white power groups, roundup the latest batch of doxxes and deplatformings, and also present a special call to action. We also have information on the ongoing fight to stop a tour by NSBM aligned band, Horna. Let’s jump right in!

Explainer: Why are So Many Cops Involved with White Nationalist Organizations?

This week’s #IdentifyEvropa doxxes brought us 31-year-old Identity Evropa member Daniel Morley, a School Resource Officer in Chesterfield, Virginia. In the IE chats, he used the name “Danimal876,” the same username he’d been using on his Stormfront account, where he’d been posting since 2006, identifying himself as a “national socialist” and “WN” (white nationalist).

So if he’d been a white nationalist since the age of 19, how was that not noticed during his entire career? And how was he allowed to police L.C. Bird High School, a school with a 61% enrollment rate of youth of color?

Because his views aren’t significantly different than those of most other white cops.

“These kinds of white grievance politics, plus the sort of racial essentialism that causes white
police officers to endorse the idea that Black people are inherently violent, are essentially the
same as the far-Right.”

Using a 65,000-person data set drawn from the General Social Survey, a 2017 study of the racial attitudes of white police officers found that white police officers were much more likely than average white citizens to endorse narratives of white victimhood, a backbone of the far-Right’s “white genocide” conspiracy.

Officers were 1.4 times more likely to claim that affirmative action had hurt white people, and over three times more likely than other white conservatives to claim that they had suffered racial discrimination at work – for being white.

But the starkest difference is that white police officers were nine times more likely than even white conservatives to endorse the idea that Black people are more violent than white people.

These kinds of white grievance politics, plus the sort of racial essentialism that causes white police officers to endorse the idea that Black people are inherently violent, are essentially the same as the far-Right.

The “white genocide” conspiracy theory of the far-Right, sometimes called “The Great
Replacement” (as it was in the Christchurch shooter’s manifesto), posits that white people are being replaced by people of color, either through falling birth rates (an obsession of the Christchurch shooter), or through immigration, and will become a persecuted minority in the near future.

More optics-focused versions of the theory sometimes replace “white race” with “Western
civilization,” as in paleoconservative Pat Buchanan’s 2001 book, The Death of the West: How Dying Populations and Immigrant Invasions Imperil Our Culture and Civilization, the was the book that radicalized League of the South Spokesman Brad Griffin. In the Proud Boys’ bylaws, a reading from the book is mandatory at every official Proud Boys meetup.

With these overlaps in grievance politics, it’s easy to see how a white nationalist wouldn’t actually stand out among other white police officers.

Doxxes

Note: If you’re struggling to keep up with the #IdentifyEvropa doxxes, never fear! There’s an up-to-date list of Identity Evropa members who have been doxxed here.

Monday, March 18, 2019

-Praise Cthulu! @AntiFashGordon identified Stephen Thomas Farrea, of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, a Corporal in the Selected Marine Corps Reserve, as being a member of Identity Evropa.

Call to Action

-@TheQueerCrimer discovered a Facebook post by Richmond Ambulance Authority EMT Jake Hummer, where Jake reposts a video of West Coast anti-fascist protestors and comments “Do this in Richmond please my brush guard ain’t for looks.”

It is alarming that an EMT would make threats to run over people, and it hit especially close to home for Richmond activists who were victims of James Alex Fields Jr’s attack in Charlottesville. You can email Chip Decker, the CEO of Richmond Ambulance Authority, at [email protected], tweet them at @RAAEMS, or visit their Facebook page and leave comments.

Sample tweet: “Hey, @RAAEMS, why is your employee Jake Hummer making violent threats against anti-fascists on social media?”
