This site is being run in part by weev aka Andrew Auernheimer, somebody that basicly spends all their time finding ways to stir up shit, and generate controversy.

This site has absolutely nothing to do with genuinely disseminating white power ideas, and everything to do with doing exactly what its doing right now, getting thrown off of every popular hosting service it can so it can generate more articles, and more drama. You can be positive its going to make its rounds on pretty much every hosting service there is.

That is the express goal of his actions and I can not beleive nobody is calling that out.

I feel you're letting them off the hook too easily here. The Daily Stormer absolutely served the function of disseminating white power ideas. They had 120,000 daily visitors at one point, which reportedly included Dylan Roof for example.

Nobody is calling that out because there's an interest from the media to pretend white nationalists, nazis or whatever you want to call them are more of a menace than they actually are. A part of society play the victim card; they live off that.

Of course, the writers of that article are a part of that.
