Researcher Subcomandante X released an article on the Feuerkrieg Division, an international group of accelerationist neo-Nazis who have recently began expanding to the United States. The group recently flyered the Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church in Spokane, Washington. In its propaganda materials, the group mimics neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division, which has linked to five murders and attempted bombings.

Of course this isn’t the only “It’s Okay To Be White” march that white supremacists have been holding. As Subcomandante X wrote in an article for Medium, these marches were the brainchild of Neo-Nazi loser Patrick Little, who instructed people to duct tape their mouths and hold signs or wear clothes saying “It’s Okay To Be White.”
