Looks like it's time to continue the discussion about whether we should be referring to Diagolon as a Neo-Nazi movement. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network recently reported on Alex Vriend's decision to live stream with various far-right and Neo-Nazi figures. I have previously reported on Diagolon's attempts to recruit people into Neo-Nazi Active Clubs, as well as Alex Vriend starting his own. In this blog entry I want to discuss some of the recent statements made by Vriend and other notable Dags.
Dan Sleno added himself to the list of Diagolon live streamers who have endorsed people joining Neo-Nazi Active Clubs.

This comes after 2 Active Club members were arrested on terrorism related charges.https://t.co/Cpkz1Sr1Uq

This was after Ontario Active Club members Matthew Althorpe and Kristoffer Nippak were charged with terrorism related offenses.
As previously noted, Alex Vriend invited Australian Neo-Nazi Thomas Sewell on to a live stream. Alex tells the audience that at some point nationalists will have to address "the Hitler question". Of course speaking with the leader of the Australian National Socialist Movement and telling him that you appreciate what he has to say will certainly raise those questions.
... or it could be that you re-broadcast Hitler speeches....
Alex enjoys seeing non-white people whom he calls "migrants" and "invaders" getting assaulted and he states that he hopes more of it happens. He and Jeremy believe that "vigilantism" will increase against immigrants.
Here Derek complains about seeing a Muslim weatherperson, even though he doesn't even watch the news.
Ferryman seems confident that they can just start deporting people.
This is why I state as often and as loudly as possible: THERE. IS. NO. PEACEFUL. WHITE. NATIONALISM.
Of course Derek blames women and thinks they should lose the right to vote.
Josh Bigger (AKA: Mr Freedom) who is a Diagolon supporter was on a live stream with Zach Schmitt (also a Diagolon supporter) where Schmitt discussed a "revolution with gallows" and "the Jewish question".
More on "the Jewish Question" and both of them seem to question the Holocaust.
On a live stream with Diagolon streamer Tom McCue, Josh makes it clear that he thinks that there should be no issue with questioning the Holocaust.
Zach uses his blog to promote the Neo-Nazi "14-words" slogan. He also implies that Jews are protecting pedophiles and that Canadians need to become more racist and hateful.
During the stream they discussed the Neo-Nazi "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville and spread the alt-right lie that Heather Hayer wasn't murdered but died of a heart attack.
What's funny is that recently Dawson showed disapproval towards open displays of Nazism in their movement. I wonder whether he mentioned that to his Diagolon friends.
So to sum up in the last year Diagolon streamers have:
- promoted Neo-Nazi Active Clubs
- engaged in Holocaust minimization/denial
- given roman salutes
- interviewed Neo-Nazis
- advocated for "migrants" to be deported
- shared speeches by Adolf Hitler
- quoted Mein Kampf to justify their views
- repeated Neo-Nazi slogans
And the only response they'll have for the allegation that they're Neo-Nazis is to gaslight people.
Don't fall for it.
