Fallout begins for far-right trolls who trusted Epik to keep their identities secret

In the real world, Joshua Alayon worked as a real estate agent in Pompano Beach, Fla., where he used the handle 'SouthFloridasFavoriteRealtor' to urge buyers on Facebook to move to "the most beautiful State."

But online, data revealed by the massive hack of Epik, an Internet-services company popular with the far right, signaled a darker side. Alayon’s name and personal details were found on invoices suggesting he had once paid for websites with names such as racisminc.com, whitesencyclopedia.com, christiansagainstisrael.com and theholocaustisfake.com.

After Alayon’s name appeared in the breached data, his brokerage, Travers Miran Realty, dropped him as an agent, as first reported by the real estate news site Inman. The brokerage’s owner, Rick Rapp, told The Washington Post that he didn’t "want to be involved with anyone with thoughts or motives like that."​

Epik, based outside Seattle, said in a data-breach notice filed with Maine’s attorney general this week that 110,000 people had been affected nationwide by having their financial account and credit card numbers, passwords and security codes exposed.

Heidi Beirich, a veteran researcher of hate and extremism, said she is used to spending weeks or months doing "the detective work" trying to decipher who is behind a single extremist domain. The Epik data set, she said, "is like somebody has just handed you all the detective work — the names, the people behind the accounts."​
Now I do not support or condone the idea of hackers breaking into private databases... but in this case... BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!

There is going to be trickles of this for a long, long time. Reports was that the amount of data that was hacked is simply huge, and it's going to take a long time for the activists to comb through it all.

How on earth do you not understand that these are the tactics of the inquisition and the nazi part?
 
Back when Parler was still a thing, a bunch of Leftbook friends in an anitfascist group planned to infiltrate them and troll them. They backed off once they found out about requirements like sending a copy of your drivers license and other sensitive personal information.

It looked like the rubes that used the site didn't mind that, and they were shocked when all their info was stolen too. Even though they laid out the welcome mat for that to happen.

And this is the mistake you, and people like you, keep making. Its not about "wrong beliefs" and "right beliefs", its about what we should regard as acceptable in a humane, caring and civilized society, and what should be not acceptable. In short, its not about good v bad, its about good v evil!

The problem with the way people like you think is that you all draw an equivalence between being a white supremacist, nazi or fascist on one side and being a liberal or progressive or an inclusionist on the other. You seem to think they are the two sides to the same coin. THEY ABSOLUTELY ARE NOT! Racism and non-racism are not equal opposites; bigotry and non-bigotry are not equal opposites, white supremacy and racial equality are not equal opposites; fascism and democracy and not equal opposites. Fascism, racism, bigotry and white supremacy are inherently evil. They seek to oppress people for no reason other than hatred for anyone who isn't "like" them.

If any of these things were truly equal and opposite then neither could exist without the other - they would be mutually non-extant. This is not what we observe. Inclusionists ONLY exist because racists and bigots exist, if there was no racism, there would be no inclusionism because racial inequality wouldn't even be a thing. Similarly, Antifa exists ONLY because fascists exist; if there were no fascists, there would be no Antifa, because there would not be anything for them to fight against.

If fascists ever came to power in your country, it will be people like you, the enablers, those think everyone should be free to think and believe what they please in the name of "fair and balanced", regardless of whether it is evil or not, who will be the first ones lined up against the wall and shot. People like me, those speak out against racism and bigotry and white supremacy, will be next.

White supremacists, racists, bigots and fascists need to be called out at every turn, and every opportunity. They must be given no safe spaces in which to cultivate their evil. Cancel them... all of them!

... and yes. If, for example, I found out (and had clear evidence) that a neighbour of mine, say, a teacher, or a doctor or a nurse, and was running a white supremacist website, I would inform their employer in heartbeat! If my neighbour doesn't like it, tough! They are free to report me to my employer for being an inclusionist, and someone who believes in diversity and racial equality.

Personally I dont think you need the quotation marks if we’re talking about Holocaust denial.

If your neighbors found out you were running secret Holocaust denial and white supremacy sites and no longer want to associate with you, they have every right to feel that way.

Sorry, trying to browbeat me into some diseased worldview where one is required to be agnostic on the merits of fascism or other genocidal ideologies is not going to work.

It's both hilarious and generally good that these people who thought they were safe to go mask-off fash are suddenly getting outed to their surrounding communities.
 
A Cancellation by the Right Wing...


When professor Suzanne Jones’ contract came up for renewal at Texas’ Collin College, a public institution, she was a shoo-in. Faculty and administrators recommended her renewal: She was an “excellent faculty member” who earned “positive” evaluations from students and colleagues alike, kept her expertise in her field current, and had long shown commitment to the institution through “college service throughout” her decades of employment.

But that recommended renewal was “declined at the Senior Vice President level” with the support of President H. Neil Matkin. Senior administrators complained that Jones had gone outside of “normal channels of communication” due to a Facebook post she wrote about administrators’ response to COVID-19. Matkin, in writing, lamented that Jones was “encouraging members of our local community to contact me” about his plan to reopen during COVID-19 — a pandemic he had downplayed as “blown utterly out of proportion.” Administrators also complained that Jones had signed an open letter calling for the removal of Confederate memorials by including her name and professional background, just as other signatories did: “Suzanne Jones, education professor, Collin College.” And they complained that the local chapter of a non-bargaining union (Texas is a right-to-work state), which Jones helped to lead, used the college’s name without their permission.

And refusing to do business with racists and bigots like those who infest the real estate business and in a coordinated fashion screw over black home owners is of course morally wrong. You are morally required to support nazi businesses.

Don't you see that makes them even more nazi that merely running a nazi website and holding nazi ideals.
