    This reminds me of the Ashley Madison leak.

    Like, obviously, these people are awful, and I’m not sad that they’re having a shitty day, but I find it hard to cheer for this kind of vigilante justice. If they haven’t done anything illegal, they shouldn’t be doxxed, and if they have done something illegal, then they should be reported to the police.

      This shit sort of is illegal, though, under hate speech laws. The police tend not to act on it too much, out of some mixture of fear of a backlash, and a natural bent to sympathy for the far-right.

        If they’re “just” buying memorabilia, then they aren’t necessarily producing hate speech.

        It’s unclear what the site sells, but if someone bought a replica gun for a particularly tasteless Halloween costume, then they haven’t broken hate speech laws. I think.

          And pedophiles who buy CSAM and never touch an actual child aren’t producing child porn. But they’re still obviously part of the problem.

          That’s true. I guess you could argue any of it could potentially be for educational purposes. You’d need to collect evidence on how the items are being used, as well.

          That kind of nuance is something angry mobs are bad at, so I agree with OP there. I just wish the actual government cared more.

            The human propensity for ignorance should never be underestimated; I can also see the possibility (to use an example product from the antihate article) someone somehow stumbled into buying shotglasses with norse runes on them because they thought they were cool, not realizing the broader context of the site. Is that likely? No, but again, people are really good at doing dumb shit. :P

    I wonder how this news is affecting midgard.com, the 100 year old lighting shop. My guess, they’re receiving abusive emails while also selling loads more white lamps

        No, I am just giving you additional information about Nazis that you need to share. Think of it not as “whataboutism” but more like a problem the entire world needs to solve across many countries. You just seem hyper fixated on pointing out the faults of specific countries other than Russia and even China.

        One can only assume that by posting negative reviews all the time, you have an agenda. Whatever that agenda is remains to be seen.

          No, you’re doing whataboutism by deflecting attention from Canada’s very prominent nazi problem by bleating about Russia. Last time I checked it’s Canada where the House of Commons gave a standing ovation to a literal SS war criminal, it’s Canada that has erected a bunch of nazi monuments, and it’s Canada that was actively taking in nazis after WW2 to fight against the growing labour movement.

          Once can assume by your comment that you’re really upset about truth being told about Canada.

            No, u! You are deflecting the Russian Nazi problem by pointing at everyone else. Whataboutism sucks when its pointed back at you, don’t it?

            Hate to break this too you bud, but everywhere has a Nazi issue. You just love to point fingers.

              You’re the one bleating about Russia in a thread about Canadian nazis being doxxed. You’re literally the one trying to derail the discussion with a complete non sequitur. And last I checked, Russia doesn’t have nazi monuments like Canada, nor are nazis given standing ovations there. But yeah eVeRyThiNg Is ThE SaMe EvEryWheRe. You just keep on seething there.

                Oh I ain’t mad. I am just pointing out your history of bullshit. Like someone else said, it’s awesome to keep up awareness with articles like these. Doxx all the Nazis! I am totally down for that.

                However…

                When you have a clear history of just posting bullshit with the same anti-west theme and you do it with intent and malice. It’s a similar pattern that I see with with accounts like yours across all platforms.

                  You’re not pointing out any history of bullshit. All you’re doing here whinging that I’m posting news about Canada. So, yeah you’re very obviously mad. Seethe and cope there all you like, you’re very transparent about it. You could just block me and stop interacting with me entirely, but here you are making a clown of yourself. It’s a similar pattern that I see with with accounts like yours across all platforms.

            TBH my guy, while OP’s comment was a non-sequitur and there is a lot of value to posting articles like this and making sure people are aware and stay vigilant of antisemitism and other issues within our own borders, your post history is kinda sus. Like, 90% reasonable and then 10% weirdly pro Russia/China.

              I love how you think that having positive views of China is sus. Just how propagandized do you have to be to utter such a statement. Also not sure what these weirdly pro Russia posts you’re talking about. Presumably in your mind acknowledging the reality of the situation in Ukraine is also sus?

      Not surprised by Grande Prairie being on the list… More surprised by how many dots between the Windsor-Quebec City corridor though… I guess on a per-capita basis it’s probably lower.

      Lol, who’s the one guy in Innu-assi? He must hate it there.

      Or maybe it’s a Kanye West situation, and it is an Innu guy, who just completely misses the irony.

    I checked out the list. Found one neo-nazi who works for an organization with the motto “Unity in Diversity”. Wow. If only they knew.

    Does anyone know which websites or URLs I should avoid so I don’t see this list of potentially local nazi sympathizers? I wouldn’t want to be in possession of such a list, that would just be terrible.
