Patriot Front-run Active Clubs want you to think they're not violent, that they're just a group that cares about fitness and defending Western culture. However, despite what PF members may say in court or to CNN, reporting shows over and over again that PF & ACs are full of violent neo-Nazis.
NEW: @kylebazgo.bsky.social and @tristanl.ee have identified the leader of neo-Nazi group Heartland Active Club as 32-year-old Jacob Daniel Jones from Olathe, KS. Under the alias “Prairie Nationalist”, Jones has praised neo-Nazi mass shooter Anders Breivik and is “training for a war”.

Howdy! I’m Tristan Lee from Decoherence Media Are you concerned about the surge of far-right authoritarianism in the US and around the world? Me too. #GivingTuesday #Decoherence
“At a time when masked agents of the state act with impunity, emboldened neo-Nazi groups march in the streets, and one institution after another legitimizes authoritarian consolidation, there’s a need for unflinching reporting to hold these forces to account.” 👏 @decoherence.media decoherence.media

Do you have, or know of, an interesting dataset related to the far-right that you wish was easier to navigate? Let us know and we'll do our best to help! Making data more accessible to journalists, researchers, and the general public is an important part of Decoherence Media's mission.
As part of our investigation into the Rope Culture web server, we created a search interface for Nazi forum scrapes and leaked databases called FashyLeaks. Currently it includes the Iron March and Rope Culture datasets, with many more to come.
Iron March “Black Sun Rising,”... “Rope & Soap,” before settling on "NOOSE." The name is a reference to the “Day of the Rope,” a white supremacist meme originating from the racist 1978 book "The Turner Diaries" that describes the hanging of all “race traitors” after a fictionalized white revolution.
We found the exposed web server of Rope Culture, a neo-Nazi online magazine from the same Nazis behind the notorious Iron March forum. It contains hundreds of email addresses of the site’s commenters, emails sent to & from their mail server & the IP address of every visit to the site.
"Rope culture" refers to "the day of the rope", which is found in the book the Turner diaries. It’s regarding the mass execution of "race traitors" when white supremacists take over California and start having lynchings on all their enemies. That’s what "rope culture. org" is named after.
