Ricardo Duchesne is an Puerto Rico-born Canadian alt-right pseudo-intellectual, anti-immigration, white nationalist University of New Brunswick based historical sociologist. Known for his "academic" works extolling the "uniqueness" of western civilization and his maligning of non-western civilizations despite having absolutely no academic qualifications whatsoever in the study of non-western civilizations he belittles, he also also penned anti-immigrant articles in and invested much of his time engaging in edits wars on Wikipedia and forum flame wars. Making no effort to hide his racist views in public he has been featured on ratemyracistprofessor.com.[1] Having been publicly chastised by his colleagues for his views he has been challenged to submit his ideas on western civilization to academic review,[2] rather than presumably edit war on Wikipedia which he has been doing since 2006. His claim of western and white superiority rests on his thesis that western civilization is driven by its "individualist, aristocratic and warlike nature".[3]

Keyboard warrior activity[edit]

Despite his "academic" profile Duchesne maintains a prolific activity on Wikipedia and history related forums. Known for being easily identified and being smacked down by amateurs in debates, Ricardo Duchesne's wikipedia account, Gun Powder Ma, editing since 3 September 2006 has edited his own Wikipedia article[4] His other Wikipedia sockpuppet account R3venans keeps a somewhat lower profile but nevertheless edits in the same fields and makes no effort to hide his views. He signed up for an account on World Historia forum under the same handle Gun Powder Ma[5] which later moved to All Empires forum[6] His Historum account is named Aetius.[7] His primary activity is attacking non-western, non-white civilizations as militarily weak, less advanced, and primitive than the west.[8] [9] He has not learned to show any subtlety in his views and is therefore quickly identified across different forums and Wikipedia as the same despite the different handles.[10][11] His Wikipedia friends William M. Connolley[12] and Julian Felsenburgh have played guard dog on his Wikipedia article.[13]
