Weev was very much a neo-nazi even before he was imprisoned, but I suspect he limited it to private channels.

I once infiltrated some of the IRC channels he used in 2010 or so and have logs of him saying extremely antisemitic things in earnest.

(The groups I infiltrated also doxxed people and used that information in smear campaigns, which is why I'm using a throwaway for this comment. I checked HN's rules and guidelines and couldn't see anything against this; if I'm wrong about this, I apologise.)

The GNAA was probably the first tech group to play the "am I Nazi or am I just joking?" dogwhistle with the earnestness we often see today.
