“Activism”

In April 2017, Connor indicated that he thought poorly of Identity Evropa, asking his fellow fascists in Anticom “Identity Europa is a Meme right?” Connor’s buddies told him that Identity Evropa was good, and that their then leader, Nathan Damigo, beat up an anti-fascist, which got him very excited. See the archive link for the full chat.

The extent of Connor’s activism has been posting memes, going outside literally once, and recruiting one gamer to IE.

Connor uses the handle @brailseed on Twitter and Instagram. Unlike literally every other fascist we’ve outted, he doesn’t follow The Golden One, but he does follow, and is followed by, fellow Nevada Identity Evropa zoomer Kenneth Cruey.

Conclusion

Another day,  another white supremacist exposed.
