Early threads about Diagolon and Jeremy Mackenzie

Thread 1: https://x.com/TonyYvce/status/1444748031556005892 October 3, 2021

This will likely lead to me being trolled by accounts with Sonnenrads for avatars, but it's time we discuss the threats being made by Jeremy Mackenzie.

In this clip he threatens @DrBonnieHenry by saying "you being drowned in the ocean, no that's not murder". Jeremy has called for violence against the government in the past, but now he's directing those threats towards individuals. https://tinyurl.com/yzr79j36
2/16

He does attempt to walk it back by saying "one of them is actually probably going to try and do it one of these days". Still seems like an incitement to violence to me. 

3/16

These barely veiled threats have been common on Mackenzie's live streams lately. His catch phrase being "gun or rope". In this clip he directs that threat towards @JohnTory.

CW: transphobia

4/16

Same "gun or rope" threat directed towards Mike Rouleau of @CFOperations.
5/16

He makes a "gun or rope" hand signal threat towards Deena Hinshaw (@CMOH_Alberta).
6/16

Here he says about@BillGates "maybe you should be dead, maybe you should be careful". So he's not just limiting himself to government officials in Canada.
7/16

Jeremy told his followers that medical professionals going door-to-door offering vaccines should "dis-a-fucking-pear into the mountains".

Like many in the Canadian "patriot" movement, he claims that a civil war is "inevitable" and blames everyone else for causing it.
CW: Islamophobia, Antisemitism
9/16

In this clip he suggests that a business should be "burned down" because someone was trespassing and the police were called.
CW: homophobia, police arrest,

Here he defends white nationalist Shane Marshall after he allegedly threw rocks at Prime Minister

@JustinTrudeau.
Marshall was a PPC riding president before the incident.

Speaking of the PPC Mackenzie is tight with Saskatoon candidate Mark Friesen.

He's also been in close contact with Maxime Bernier.

Was #MaximeBernier sitting at a table last night with Jeremy Mackenzie, a far-right anti-semite that has called for violence against the media and the government?

A bit of a side note, Ontario MPP Randy Hillier appeared on a livestream with Mackenzie.

Lately some of Hillier's tweets have been totally off the rails.

As for Mackenzie's audience, they regularly post Neo-Nazi imagery in response to his videos. In the past Jeremy has "denounced" the open Neo-Nazis that follow him, but....
14/16

... then he'll give them a wink and nod during his show.
15/16

So to sum up, we have an anti-semite with Neo-Nazis for followers threatening and inciting violence against elected representatives and health care officials. More to be released on how his supporters are organizing coming soon.

Thread 2: https://x.com/TonyYvce/status/1449179982849261573 October 15 2021

In the past few months Jeremy Mackenzie (https://tinyurl.com/ycx6ejaw) has been promoting a half-baked concept for a breakaway nation called “Diagolon”. It could best be described as a low-rent Kekistan, but let's take a closer look.
1/13

According to Mackenzie the states/provinces that are not mandating masks/vaccines make a diagonal line across North America, hence the name Diagolon.
2/13

One of his viewers says that Diagolon should be a “white sanctuary”. A part of the meme is that Diagolon is at war with "Circulon".
3/13

By the way, Mackenzie himself cites Kekistan as influencial in the creation of Diagalon. Note: The Kekistan flag which mimics a Nazi battle flag is considered a symbol of hate by the @SPLC.

4/13

As mentioned on the@CanadaLand podcast with Liz Simons of@antihateca, Jeremy considers the Mannerbund(a popular song with white nationalists) to be their national anthem.
https://www.canadaland.com/podcast/717-is-the-ppc-racist/
5/13

Jeremy's followers use a sideways (diagonal) Roman salute as a gesture among themselves.
6/13

As I recently mentioned, Nazi imagery is common within Diagalon social media spaces. https://x.com/TonyYvce/status/1444748371198189571
Also common are racist and antisemitic slurs. http://tinyurl.com/yzr79j36

Threats against government officials, journalists.... oh and yours truly are also very common in their discussions.

Whenever I mention things that Mackenzie has said, some of his supporters will respond by telling me that “He's just joking. It's all jokes.” Well not according to him.
9/13

Jeremy even claims that “serious conversations are happening behind the scenes”.
CW: Ableism
10/13

Diagalon chapters are setting up across the country, and a couple internationally. And there is a lot of talk about guns.
11/13

Very important to point out that his supporters have no problems displaying their flags publicly, at protests, and with certain politicians.
12/13

Jeremy and his followers can say “It's just memes bro” or “We're not Nazis, we're ironic” all they want. We've heard this alt-right gas-lighting before. Charlottesville and Jan 6 already happened. Nobody is falling for it.

Thread 3: https://x.com/TonyYvce/status/1470103950959513601 December 12 2021

It's been a few months since I last wrote anything substantial about Diagolon, the meme/group created by Jeremy Mackenzie.
Time for some updates.

Apparently it's now acceptable to call Diagolon a militia.
Note: militias are not technically illegal in Canada but certain aspects that could be a part of militia training may be.

This week Jeremy said that white nationalist/ fascist group Patriot Front are their "American counter-parts".
Note: Jeremy spends most of his time on the internet professionally
3/9

More on Patriot Front: https://tinyurl.com/2p8eyz98 https://tinyurl.com/mryw6knd
They use the fasces in their logos and their manifesto states: "An African, for example, may have lived, worked, and even been classed as a citizen in America for centuries, yet he is not American."

An older clip. Here's Jeremy's opinion on immigration. "flooding (Canada) with people who are... ethnically different... is going to cause problems".
CW: homophobia 

5/9

Another clip from a while back: one of his commenters is hoping for an Eric Rudolph character to start devoting his attention to "top doctors".
Eric Rudolph is the Olympic Park bomber. https://history.com/this-day-in-history/olympic-park-bomber-eric-rudolph-agrees-to-plead-guilty

Jeremy Mackenzie: "Women, I love you." Also Jeremy Mackenzie: 'You've been running things for too long and you're ruining everything.'
CW: sexism
7/9

I think everyone has heard the cliche excuse for racist behaviour "I can't be racist, I have a friend that is black". Jeremy takes it to a whole new level. 'I shared a battlefield with a Jewish man, and if he hadn't died he would be on our side.'
8/9

I wonder if Ezra would approve of this clip. The phrase "international Jewry may be up to something nefarious" is just blatant old school antisemitism.
