In the wake of last week's indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), there have been a number of public reactions from prominent far-right actors across a pretty broad spectrum. I've written up a relatively short summary of some of those responses.
The short version is that the underlying assumption that they all share -- and that the indictment validates -- is that, on one hand, there is no real threat from the far right, racism and white supremacy aren't real, and political violence only ever comes from the left; on the other hand, groups like the SPLC and others on the liberal-left spectrum are committed to ratcheting up fear of the far right for their own political and financial benefit.
That theory is just fine for the people who are the most detached from consensus reality (people like Alex Jones and Laura Loomer), because they've largely been committed to the same argument for a long time. For them, groups like Patriot Front can only ever exist as "fed ops" that don't actually involve people who really believe what they say.
However, it doesn't sit as well with the self-identified white nationalists and other neo-fascists, who basically feel emasculated by the implication that their thoughts and actions are only ever allowed to exist at the discretion of liberal and left-wing entities.
Anyways, read the whole thing for details, if you're into that sort of thing.

In one sense, the existence of "far-right influences among Project 2025 applicants" might be the most obvious thing I've ever posted on social media.
On the other hand, the details are pretty interesting. For all the managerial ineptitude of the Trump administration, the continuity between it and leaders in both the intellectual and on-the-ground brawler contingents of far-right activism in the US is striking. Some of the people mentioned here cite Carl Schmitt (albeit in the most superficial way possible), use jargon like "Heritage Americans," and talk about a left-wing "all out war" on the right, thereby justifying all-out reciprocity.
Others point to the influence Jared Taylor has had on their thinking. Taylor (I like to call him "Nazi Thurston Howell," but that's just me) is best known as the leading figure behind the American Renaissance website and the annual white nationalist conference by the same name, but he has also been a spokesman for the Council of Conservative Citizens, in which capacity he helped inspire the 2015 white supremacist mass shooting in a Black church in Charleston, South Carolina, which left nine people dead. Taylor has also more recently been openly cavorting with members of Patriot Front as well as "active club" founder Rob Rundo.
This article doesn't delve too deeply into it, but it also hints at reaffirming antisemitism as a (maybe "the") major fault line within the US far right today. Several of the people mentioned here are at least very comfortable with some pretty deeply antisemitic ideas. However Taylor, for instance, says he opposes antisemitism and has been very open to the ideas and participation of far-right Jews in white nationalist spaces, and members of the Heritage Foundation have clearly taken a "philo-semitic" position in a variety of areas.
Anyways, like I said, nothing earth-shattering or all that surprising here, but I do think it's important to keep tabs on the details of just what kind of "leadership" we're all being subjected to. Worth reading.

For far-right actors in the US, antifa is the "woke mind virus" inside their own heads. They keep trying to understand it, and they keep failing.
So white nationalist website American Renaissance recently published an interview with an alleged former “Antifa member” who has seen the light and finally embraced white nationalism. And true to form, the interviewer is just as clueless after the interview as before it.
For your reading pleasure, I wrote up a breakdown of the whole thing.

CW: White nationalist support for proposed refugee policy changes in the US; mention of racist violence
This isn't news or anything -- no one reading this is likely to be surprised to hear that the Trump admin is openly racist or that they're unapologetically making that explicit in their policies. Still, it seems worth recording that it's not just Trump's most vocal critics who think that. It's also overt white supremacists.
The quote below comes from Jared Taylor, arguably the leading intellectual of the white nationalist movement in the US over the past couple of decades. It's in response to reporting that Trump is considering fast-tracking intakes for white, English-speaking "refugees" from South Africa and for Europeans who support right-wing parties and oppose immigration (because logic!).
Taylor is so influential among people who want to dress basic racism up as something noble that he has served as both a mentor to Richard Spencer and an inspiration for the mass shooter who murdered nine Black churchgoers in Charleston, SC, in 2015 (the killer's manifesto cited Taylor by name). At age 74, Taylor still organizes the biggest annual far-right conference in the US every year, cavorts with members of Patriot Front, and regularly publishes material written by neo-nazis and white separatists. He's also such a smug, elitist asshole that I've been referring to him as Nazi Thurston Howell for years. (Sorry, you may need to be kind of old to get that.)
Taylor isn't the only one who approves of the administration's proposed policy changes. Nick Fuentes discussed them this week and said "if this happens, I think this is great," adding that he wanted to give "credit where credit is due," despite his criticisms of certain other aspects of the Trump administration. The hosts of Red Ice were critical, but agreed that "it's a good gesture, at least." An accelerationist neo-nazi Telegram account approvingly noted that "Whites only is the only sane immigration policy for Western nations."
At any rate, no, the fact that Trump is considering policies like this shouldn't be surprising at this point. The response from explicit white nationalists shouldn't be either. But I do think it's worth noting as a kind of signpost of the direction this administration is going. There are still a lot of neo-nazis who can't bring themselves to say anything positive about Trump because they think he's too cozy with Jews, but the evidence here suggests that, in general, they're probably quietly pleased with this.

From the article:
Hatewatch has identified a previously pseudonymous author and ideologue whose writings in the 2000s and early 2010s heavily influenced the “manosphere,” a loose network of blogs, forums, websites and influencers who support rolling back women’s rights, reject feminism and advocate for rigid gender roles.
Christopher Moore, 60, is a former academic who has written under the pen name “Francis Roger Devlin” or “F. Roger Devlin” since the early 2000s. He is the author of the highly influential 2006 essay “Sexual Utopia in Power” and a 2015 book by the same name. Both works argue that men are victimized by policies and other efforts to promote sexual and gender equality, which he argues have “made men less attractive to women” and “probably contributed significantly to the decline in Western birthrates.” White nationalists and more mainstream far-right figures have credited Moore’s work as Devlin with shaping the male supremacist movement, or “manosphere,” into what it is today.
“Everyone who has read Devlin seems to have started a blog or YouTube channel,” David Futrelle, a researcher on the radical right, wrote in 2013, referring to “Devlin’s” essays as a “Manospherian urtext.”
