UNZ Review
Anatoly Karlin Archive

He's published over a thousand blog posts on UNZ Review. Lots more of his crazy views can be added to article. SkepticDave (talk) 03:31, 3 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the hagiography, there's a convenient summary of my work here if you need further ideas. Here's one suggestion: A few months ago I wrote what is possibly the most comprehensive exposition of IQ research in Russian for the website Sputnik and Pogrom. The Marxist blogger Louis Proyect quotably describes me as "too nationalistic for Putin" ("wrote for “Sputnik & Pogrom”, an ultra-nationalist website that was even too much for Putin based on the evidence of it being shut down on July 6th [actually it was blocked, not shut down]. In 2015 the website called for “crushing Ukraine” and establishing a “Russian ethnic state.”") --Akarlin (talk) 11:52, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * According to your bio, you've lived most your life as an immigrant in UK, and you also lived in the US, but returned to Russia in 2016. Yet according to your UNZ Review posts, you're anti-immigration/want very tight immigration controls... Hypocrite much? Like Richard Spencer, are you pro-immigration/freedom of movement for "white people" across European countries/national borders, just not "non-whites"? This would mean you're not even an ultra/ethnic nationalist, but an Americanized pan-European ("white") nationalist kook like Spencer, who supports the EU and is anti-Brexit. I found it amusing reading your blog post about London, that you complain about the city having "too much vibrant diversity"- when as an immigrant for many years -you were a part of this (you're not ethnically/native English). Brexit was a response to the fact most English (and to a lesser extent Welsh) are fed up with high-levels of EU immigration, especially from eastern-European countries. So how exactly does your "Russian ethnic state" claptrap make sense, when you lived most your life as an immigrant in foreign lands?SkepticDave (talk) 16:22, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure, I went to the UK when I was six - hardly my own choice at that age, at a time when Russia was getting raped by slavishly pro-Western neoliberal scumbags - went to school there, to university in the US, then went back to Russia once financially independent. So I am actually nothing but consistent. That said, if there absolutely has to be substantial immigration, it would make sense to have it come from predominantly high-IQ, non-Islamic countries (that is, Europeans and East Asians). --Akarlin (talk) 20:52, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * If you look at immigration surveys: people who are anti-immigration (strong border controls & large reductions in numbers of immigrants), do so primarily because of two reasons: overcrowding (especially countries with high-population densities) and fear of economic competition, i.e. immigrants taking jobs. These are legitimate concerns, mainly the first. What is not, is 'race and IQ' nonsense - confined to the alt-right/"HBD" lunatic-fringe of politics. Virtually no-one opposes immigration because of IQ/race and this is why the alt-right you're so fond of, has no political power or representation: its an internet movement for Nazi keyboard warriors that are laughed at by 99.99% of the ordinary public. There are no alt-right political parties, and never will be. And if you, or Spencer, stood in an election, putting out a leaflet with your race and IQ nonsense, you wouldn't get 5 votes. While there has been a rise in 'populist' parties by country across Europe that want a sharp decrease in immigration levels, none of these promote the idiotic "HBD" thing. Their failure though to take power is because they focus too much on Islam or culture; Le Pen lost the 2017 presidential election because her anti-immigration rhetoric was still xenophobic and anti-Islam. I'm puzzled that you have a degree in politics, and yet are for something so ridiculous; you apparently have no idea about electioneering or electoral strategy. SkepticDave (talk) 01:02, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
 * My degree is in Political Economy, not Politics, to be strict. I am not interested in electioneering. I am primarily interested in understanding how the world works, and sharing my ideas with people. If that leads to more realistic and ultimately humane policies, that's great. --Akarlin (talk) 10:39, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Response
Here: RationalWiki Hagiography. --Akarlin (talk) 21:08, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I've applied most of the proposed changes I could, but the part about being Mecha Hitler sounds far too tongue-in-cheek so I left it out. For voting for the Jews despite having views on the contrary, keep in mind the friend argument. 21:56, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * He isn't voting for a Jew, but who has partial Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, but doesn't practice Judaism and has made anti-Semitic statements. Zhirinovsky is most infamous for telling his aides to rape a pregnant journalist. Mind-boggling why anyone would vote for him, but he's expected to come second in the presidential election 2018, hoovering up protest votes by those fed up with Putin.SkepticDave (talk) 23:45, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Karlin's Response
So for the tiny amount of readers who will make this way to this page, I addressed the multiple libels, lies, and misrepresentations here: https://twitter.com/akarlin88/status/1140652598275510273

Tellingly, my attempt to link it on the actual page was removed within minutes. Akarlin (talk) 19:09, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * A) Libel is a serious charge, one you should either provide proof for or cease using. B) So what if your "response" was removed? That happens all the time on this site, mainly because our articles aren't forum threads. C) Quit with the persecution complex, it makes you look like an egocentric twerp, mainly because (shocker) you aren't special. 19:30, 17 June 2019 (UTC)


 * A) Sorry, but who are you exactly to dictate what I say? But sure, here's a few examples: "White nationalist", "supports a Nazi-form of transhumanism," "neo-Nazi lunatic", "described himself as a homophobe," are provably wrong and calumnious. Hilariously, one of my own quotes in this expanded edition condemn Hitler, which doesn't seem to be the sort of thing a Neo-Nazi would say. But don't worry, I'm not planning to sue, though I understand that some other people are not so forgiving. :)


 * B) So you admit that RationalWiki doesn't bother with even the facade of balance. Good to know, and to have that in writing. --Akarlin (talk) 19:45, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * "Expanded edition." — Oxyaena   Harass  19:46, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I neither said nor implied any such thing, though it should be noted that when "balance" conflicts with evidence, one should always go with evidence. Once again, This article is not a forum, you are not allowed to simply post random shit in the article. Formal responses should be brought up on the the talkpage, and I am sick and tired of explaining this to clueless dipshits. Here's me removing another "response". Why? because it was inappropriate content for the article. Like I said, you aren't special. Finally, I lean very heavily toward Wikipedia's policy against subjects editing their own articles due to the inherent conflict of interest. 20:30, 17 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I have been following Akarlin's research for a while now. He is actually trying to save our people. Their is massive immigration flooding Europe and Russia. This website is just a left-wing attack website to defame anyone from the far-right. This is a hit-piece on Akarlin. Shame on you. This is irrationalwiki. Russian Skinhead88 (talk) 20:41, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Karlin is a predictable liar posting BS. There's a couple of sources that describe Karlin as a white nationalist and/or far-right:


 * https://www.polygraph.info/a/metro-exodus-russophobia-decommunization-fact-check/29781467.html (info about the source: )


 * http://www.universitytimes.ie/2019/02/the-burkeans-mission-has-changed-conservatives-are-right-to-worry/

Let me remind readers that Karlin spoke on a podium with Richard Spencer at a white nationalist event (covered in detail on the main article) and in his own words he has described the alt-right as "common-sense" and that he supports 70% of their positions (quotes on main article). He's also a regular blogger for the alt-right The Unz Review and his articles are primarily about HBD related themes and Russian nationalism; there's a lot of racism and anti-Semitism in his posts, as well as alt-right terminology ("cuck", "based", "redpilled", etc), see here: http://www.unz.com/akarlin/ His Russian nationalism clearly isn't inclusive and civic, but excludes many ethnicities and religious groups (he makes that pretty clear), so white nationalism is pretty accurate considering he's posted he is against African, central Asian and Muslim immigration (quotes on main article.) The article just quotes his words. Finally, I would say "Nazi eugenics/transhumanism" perfectly summarises his bizarre views:

If this isn't Nazi transhumanism, what the hell is it? lol Fossils (talk) 20:53, 17 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Both of the sources in question appeared after the RationalWiki hit piece on me, which for some reason Google privileges over my blog and even my own website. Moreover, the second link states: "Who has appeared at events alongside American white nationalist Richard Spencer." As I wrote in my rebuttal on Twitter, I have only ever made one appearance with Spencer. Rather indicative of the quality of their fact-checking, which must have amounted to nothing more than glancing through the RW hit piece on me.


 * Yes, I have argued for transhumanism from a "nationalist" or "far right" perspective. However, I do not quite see what is Nazi about it, unless you mean to also imply that countries that wish to preserve the demographic preponderance of their ethnos, such as Israel, Hungary, and Japan, are actual Nazi states. That is a pretty marginal viewpoint outside of your SJW bubble. I also doubt most Nazis would argue that life extension and IQ augmentation would benefit Asians and Africans as a positive thing. Moreover, actual Nazi eugenics was coercive and authoritarian, including killing disabled people. If you search through my Twitter, you will see that when I speak of eugenics, I speak exclusively of "positive" eugenics - eugenics that is voluntary and/or based on financial incentives, as opposed to the coercive policies practiced by the Nazis and some democratic Western states during the early 20th century. I would also note at this point that actual Nazis were also not keen on IQ research, partly because Jews outperformed Germans. It seems rather strange for me as a supposed Nazi to go into that sphere if I adored German superiority so much. Alternatively, I am "debating" with a pack of historical illiterates.


 * Incidentally, I have also argued for HBD realism from a Pinkerian left-liberal perspective. So by your "logic", this would make me a Nazi transhumanist and a liberal HBD realist simultaneously. --Akarlin (talk) 22:09, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Probable self-editing by Anatoly Karlin
I removed content that was inserted by User:Provegan, as it seems likely to be an act of self-editing by Anatoly Karlin. It seems like he made up the account "ProVegan" to add a quote to the article that he is particularly proud of. An indication of this is the fact that the quote was written only 48 hours before the edits to this article. There's no evidence the quote is interesting or illuminating.

Removing a few sentences
I want to move a few sentences: https://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Anatoly_Karlin&diff=2119581&oldid=2112973. I don't think any of the sentence removals should be too controversial. I don't know what the editing guidelines are on RationalWiki (I edit on Wikipedia). Ethanbas (talk) 00:38, 3 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Generally speaking, the rules for editing are rather loose here when compared to wikipedia. I posted a welcome message on your talk page just now; it has a lot of good links that should help you get acquainted to RationalWiki. Regards, Cosmikdebris (talk) 00:50, 3 October 2019 (UTC)


 * In this specific case,, your revision was fairly large and included the removal of two references and two links to other pages, for reasons I am not sure of; and this might be seen as partially whitewashing a controversial figure on a page that has been frequently vandalized and subject to edit warring over the last months. CogitoNotStirred (via telepathy) (talk) 01:03, 3 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I can explain each removal. 1. In the lede, "He is a blogger for The Unz Review where he promotes eugenics and human-biodiversity pseudoscience to far-right nationalists and skinheads in Russia", "and skinheads in Russia" should be removed, because I don't really see how his English writings on Unz are targeted towards skinheads in Russia (few people in Russia can read English, much less know of the Unz website). 2. He did study at UC Berkeley (given his UC Berkeley websites such as https://cal.berkeley.edu/akarlin), and almost certainly political economy as stated on that website (an official UC Berkeley website) and others, so "claims to" have studied should be removed. 3. From what I can tell, Karlin does not have a "fixation" with penis sizes; I am not sure I could find more than one reference by Anatoly where he talks about penis sizes, so using the term "fixation" and devoting almost a full paragraph about his "fixation" with penis sizes isn't good and should be trimmed to a very brief mention or no mention at all. 4. "In the same post, Karlin bizarrely writes: "arguing on the basis of statistics that apartheid wasn’t all that bad for Black South Africans probably isn’t racism."" I have a personal preference to remove this part, but I guess it could be kept if others wanted it to be. 5. The see also section contains irrelevant entries in my opinion so I would remove it entirely. Ethanbas (talk) 14:07, 3 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Many thanks. I think you've justified all but point 4 at least to my satisfaction, but would argue against deleting point 4 because it provides more context into how Karlin promotes racialism outside Russia and historically,as well as tying into the human biodiversity section which comes below. If anyone else has thoughts (maybe ?) it would be great to hear them. We tend to assume people mean well in the first instance, it is more that this page was recently sabotaged a few times, so I was being a fair bit more cautious than usual.
 * Also, unlike Wikipedia, at RW we tend to use snarky humour and jokes, so the penis references, while perhaps not extremely relevant, are not as out of place as they would be at Wikipedia. CogitoNotStirred (via telepathy) (talk) 14:34, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Ethanbas isn't editing in good faith: it's obvious Karlin told them to come here and make these changes since he was banned. The main changes Ethanbas made were the same whitewashing as Karlin; Ethanbas is also mostly a SPA (single purpose account) and has made very few edits on other articles. DrMackal (talk) 16:23, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't even know how to respond to "it's obvious Karlin told them to come here and make these changes since he was banned. The main changes Ethanbas made were the same whitewashing as Karlin". This reminds me of the worst parts of Wikipedia editing I experienced, in basically my first 48 hours on RationalWiki. Ethanbas (talk) 17:16, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Penis sizes
Karlin is a proponent of the "big black dick" hoax. He claims black africans have big penis sizes, when in reality science studies have disproven this claim and Karlin relies on the pseudoscientific studies of Richard Lynn. Since he has an fantasy of big black dicks, I think "fixation" is an accurate description.DrMackal (talk) 16:34, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Actual studies on race and penis-size have shown: "there is no convincing scientific background to support the ascription of bigger penile dimensions to people of the black race". See "Oversized Penile Length In The Black People; Myth Or Reality". (2007). JC, Orakwe., GU, Ebuh. Tropical Journal of Medical Research. 11(1): 16-18. for example in a study 115 Nigerian males, the average stretched penis length is 5.26 inches long, near identical to the worldwide average. See Orakwe, J. C; Ogbuagu, B. O; Ebuh, G. U (2006). "Can physique and gluteal size predict penile length in adult Nigerian men?". West African Journal of Medicine. 25(3): 223–5.

The source Karlin relies on for his fantasy of big black dicks is totally dubious. For a debunking:

 * Thanks. Though we like to start from the position of good faith, it's quite possible that this is a proxy edit as you say, and the penis-size business does tie into the whole human biodiversity bit, as well as overlapping with other alt-right figures like Milo Yiannopoulos. We are probably therefore best to leave the edits reverted for now. CogitoNotStirred (via telepathy) (talk) 16:49, 3 October 2019 (UTC)


 * LOL Ethanbas (talk) 17:14, 3 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Given how you earlier wrote "I think you've justified all but point 4 at least to my satisfaction", I am going to implement this edit now (with the exception of 4). I think you'd understand why I'm not a "proxy edit" if you took a look at my Wikipedia page, lol (seriously man...). Ethanbas (talk) 14:47, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Kirkegaard v Smith
I thought it was relevant to mention on his page given the fact he was mentioned a dozen times in the preliminary judgment https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2019/3393.html

I also found Karlin spreading lies about the outcome of the lawsuit recently on reddit and other social media.109.123.74.78 (talk) 22:57, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Found Karlin still whining about his article
https://twitter.com/akarlin88/status/1365465418568265731

Looks like Karlin has a poor memory; here (in 2019) he described black people as "violence ridden underclasses" and openly admitting to being a racist:

In 2020 he also called a black Twitter user he debated on race and IQ - a "spearchucker" and the n-word:

https://twitter.com/okechukwu_01/status/1240850603636555776

Anyone know why all of a sudden Karlin is trying to deny his recent racist past?2A0B:F4C2:1:0:0:0:0:1 (talk) 17:57, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Likely has to do with Karlin recently entering academia - Institute of Psychology of Russian Academy of Sciences. He's known to get into a hissy-fit if you quote his white nationalism and racism posts, support for Richard Spencer etc since this sort of stuff is damaging to how he's trying now to present himself as an 'IQ researcher' and scientist. Bizarrely he has recently said he never supported an ethno-state - yet this is contradicted by tweets he made, so he's a proven liar. 139.59.170.127 (talk) 21:45, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Btw someone may want to add this source to the article:

More sources
You can also dig up some academic sources that categorise Karlin as alt-right and white supremacist-


 * The Alt-Right and Global Information Warfare

Was also briefly mentioned in a 2019 anti-fascist publication by Hope not Hate:

Updated photo
He seems to have changed his appearance lately; seems like there should be an updated photo of him. Do you know with whom can I submit it to the page?
 * You have to be autopatrolled to upload a photo. Your account looks a bit suspicious though - Mikemikev who has socked on this same talk page on numerous accounts has used 'Atlantis' in his usernames before. Mysia (talk) 21:57, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Anatoly Karlin lying about his credentials
A great find by Bongolian. Karlin goes around the internet claiming he has a bachelor's of science degree to reinforce the image he's trying to sell of himself as an "intelligence researcher" and scientist when his degree is actually a bachelor of arts. I think the section about him being a fake journalist can be expanded on.

"I am a blogger, journalist, and independent researcher." https://ucberkeley.academia.edu/AnatolyKarlin

"Anatoly Karlin is a journalist and independent researcher who writes on topics such as Russian politics, geopolitics, psychometrics, and futurism." https://arbital.com/p/AnatolyKarlin/

Of course he isn't a journalist so he lies about this as well. He's a blog columnist for the far-right The Unz Review.159.65.31.156 (talk) 21:26, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Request to change article title
A few days ago Karlin got his RationalWiki article URL completely blocked/de-indexed (so it doesn't show) in all European countries by filing a Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) decision on the right to be forgotten. He's obviously lied in the report, but nevertheless he succeeded in blocking his article fully. If you search his name on Google on any European IP/VPN, you get the 'Some results may have been removed under data protection law in Europe'. His article has been blocked in Europe. Is there any chance you could add a brackets to his article name/URL? Rename it to Anatoly Karlin (white nationalist) and the article will show up again on google 2001:1B60:3:221:4134:101:0:1 (talk) 03:39, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm currently on an American VPN - the article shows fine the top on Google same for South Korea and Brazil. However, on any European VPN (German, UK, French, Poland etc) it doesn't show and a message comes up a bottom saying links have been removed because of the CJEU issue 74.91.0.56 (talk) 04:22, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I disagree with 74. and the other IP - the fact Karlin managed to block his RW article from Google across Europe is support for the deletion request made earlier. Basically the way you can block articles from showing is by arguing personal information is "inadequate, irrelevant, no longer relevant, or excessive." https://policies.google.com/faq Most likely Karlin argued the latter. He's a literal nobody who has thousands of words written on him and all his personal info and huge log of his internet history which is excessive. This was pointed out in the earlier deletion request i.e. why have a page on this guy in the first place? He not at all noticeable yet has an excessively long page with hundreds of quotes. 159.65.58.40 (talk) 04:38, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Pinging some mods and sysops so they can discuss this important issue:, , 159.65.58.40 (talk) 04:42, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

On another note, Karlin has likely has committed perjury. When you fill in the form you have to sign an oath of beung honest to best of knowledge. Karlin doesn't live in any country where CJEU applies (he lives in Russia), so he's obviously lied about his location of residence when filling in the form (when filling in the form you don't need to provide an address, so it's easy to lie about where you live). 74.91.0.42 (talk) 05:25, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * RationalWiki should have been alerted and can contest the block. I suggest sending in a complaint and highlighting the fact Karlin doesn't live in the EU.74.91.0.42 (talk) 05:26, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I am strongly opposed to changing the title of this article in an attempt to cheat a Google search. I see that as extremely dishonest and it probably wouldn't work anyway. Karlin was clearly able to convince the court that he is not a public figure and is essentially a nobody. Therefore, although I've voted to keep this article in the past, I'll probably vote for it to be deleted if it gets an AfD nomination again. Spud (talk) 06:00, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I oppose deletion. Anyone who constantly writes for the The Unz Review is noteworthy and does not deserve to be forgotten. Bongolian (talk) 06:13, 23 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Anatoly Karlin's RationalWiki article shows up almost on the first Google click for UK, France and Spain. It is unclear what European countries have blocked it (I have not checked any others) but it definitely shows up in France and Spain in the second link on the first page (I am from Spain). Most of Karlin's readers are English readers from America and UK so his article definitely shows up on the first link which gets massive traffic. Most European countries do not read English anyway, so I don't think it matters. Also the IP who started this conversation has not presented any evidence the article has been blocked. If it has why does it work in France and Spain? 185.230.124.74 (talk) 11:28, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

hoax by Mikemikev, you've been duped
Karlin's article was not blocked in Europe, and currently shows. If it didn't show it was a mere glitch (but it was probably already up). Most the above IPs include TOR are likely Michael Coombs trolling who has also now shown up on accounts e.g., projector and trying to blame his accounts onto other's, his standard MO. 194.39.126.89 (talk) 11:30, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

It's Mikemikev sending dishonest legal reports to Google to deindex his RationalWiki article, not Karlin
Mike is falsely accusing Karlin of his own behaviour. Some very sick psychological projection:

Stuff on Anatoly Karlin
Some more crazy comments he wrote can be quoted and put on his article:

{{quotebox|The end consequences of catastrophic AGW may well lead to the premature deaths of hundreds of millions or even billions of people by the end of the century.

'''Besides, evil as it sounds, but AGW will have the hidden bonus of benefiting the country I’m originally from [Russia] – not only in relative, but also quite possibly absolute terms. Why should I care more about faceless Third Worlders?''' There’s of course no logical reason to do that. At least by NOT denying AGW realities I am already far more compassionate towards them than at least half of Americans.

He's also an apologist for rape, describing drunk men who rape women as not real rapists:

{{quotebox| In reality the deck is, if anything, stacked against innocent men and “pseudo-rapists” (i.e. the drunk fratboy who has sex with a consenting and equally drunk chick who really, really regrets it the morning after) because the pro rapists are almost by definition more proficient at it in the first place and would take care to cover their traces and create alibis. Based on the above rough numbers, it is a reasonable estimate that in the US probably more than 25% of convicted rapists are in fact innocent, while a good 25% or so are the type of “pseudo-rapist” described above. And of course while far from all rape convicts will go to jail, their criminal record and the sheer opprobrium associated with rape will generally create multiple problems for them for the rest of their lives such as finding a job, maintaining good relations with friends and family, and wooing romantic prospects. In fact even a false rape accusation can wreck lives because whereas women are allowed to remain anonymous, the accused does not have that same privilege.

Now I know this concept of the “pseudo-rapist” is going to get me flak from the feminists but what can you do. Alcohol lowers inhibitions. People might do stupid things when they’re drunk, but they never do things that they don’t actually want to do – including those which are highly embarrassing in sober retrospect. Whereas female behavior in modern times is highly slutty (not that I’m complaining! – at least personally…) this goes against the human evolutionary heritage – not to mention the superstructure created by the traditional private property system – which prizes female chastity. Men simply do not prize women who sleep around a lot, so they have a biological imperative to protect their sexual reputations in order to get committed, higher quality mates. In a tiny minority of cases – but which constitute a sizable number in proportion to the number of real rapes! – this means that making a false rape accusation is preferable to a woman than letting it be known that she happily slept with the poor beta/omega bastard while blind drunk.}}185.230.124.74 (talk) 12:35, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Info
It might be relevant to update article Karlin supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine and has reinvented himself as a "journalist" on the conflict. Some media have been duped and are calling him a journalist when he's a racist white nationalist who attended a neo-Nazi conference with Richard Spencer:

Some of his pro-Russian invasion posts:

Bizarrely he has reinvented himself in the past few weeks as a "political centrist":

"I'm a centrist, not so much right-wing."

Page is locked but there's lots of info to add
I would like to thank RationalWiki for this article exposing Karlin for what he really is.

As noted above, he's reinvented himself as a journalist and is speaking on the topic of the Russian invasion of Ukraine to various media outlets without mentioning his political background and the fact he's a white nationalist.
