#automata — Public Fediverse posts

Decoherence Media has just published a really detailed look at the arc of now-defunct neo-nazi accelerationist group Automata, which seems to have had a small network operating in western North Carolina, Tennessee, and northern Alabama. They also evidently had leading members in Massachusetts and Florida.

This article gets into all kinds of connections they had, ranging from the early influence of right-wing pastor Rafael Cruz (father of Sen. Ted Cruz) on Automata founder Andrew Nary to crossover membership with the brutal online 746 network, which has often encouraged children to engage in acts of self-harm and share documentation of it.

Automata sought to create a small white ethnostate in western North Carolina.

Members have also had cross-membership with Patriot Front, White Lives Matter, various active clubs, Blood Tribe, 2119 Crew, and the National Guard.

Member Kai Nix pleaded guilty last year to selling weapons he stole from his post while serving in the US Army, and members Aiden Cuevas and Brandon Crews were arrested in Jan. 2025 for breaking into a nuclear power facility in Mississippi. More recently, Cuevas and Nary were arrested in January of this year for buying guns with the serial numbers destroyed, seemingly as part of an effort to kill one of their own members who they suspected of snitching. Totally normal stuff.

#videogames Dopo #Automata e #Pragmata, uscirà a giugno per lo studio Shinki il tanto atteso simulatore #reallife #Prostata! Le scelte condizioneranno il gioco. Impersonerete una ghiandola artificiale trapiantata in un umano la quale, attraverso il proprio buon funzionamento (o meno), acquisisce via via consapevolezza di sé stessa sino a divenire una volontà indipendente ed autonoma, che pensa ed agisce indipendentemente dal cervello. O finirà miseramente raggrinzita nel proprio essere mediocre.
