From California. Agender, he/she/they are acceptable (although I suppose “she” is preferred). I’m looking to not only participate in an antifascist movement but also bridge that into economic, social, and environmental movements—a lot of people are dying or will die for a lot of different reasons our government is unable or unwilling to address. I am both a chemist and a graphic designer. I also study people as a hobby and can read them well. Oh, I should also probably put that I’m disabled but recovering. I’m not sure if I can do too many physical tasks at the moment. I also like cooking if people need me to cook for them. (edited)

Hello, I'm from California. I'm a manufacturing engineer and industrial designer with a focus on ergonomics. I have a 3D printing lab in my apartment that does FDM an SLA printing, currently working on printing stronger filaments for...personal reasons. I hope to be able to get a printing station set up so we can also distribute stickers, flyers, and other physical media. To put thing short, I'm bisexual and multiracial. I view the rise of fascism and the alt right as not only a threat to democracy but my very well being. I'm sure many of you all can agree on that statement. We know how they're rising in strength and being emboldened. It's about time we grow strong and get bold too.

Hi everyone! I'm 22 years old Pansexual from Florida, I grew up being taught that it was ok to treat other people differently for how they look and who they are, after getting away from the people who where influencing me to be like that I met people who really opened my eyes and helped me see how wrong I was. since then I've been trying my best to learn and grow as a person. After Jan 6 I felt as if I need to try to do something, and when opportunity came up I decided to try and put some effort into helping stop the spread of extremism. Thanks @Farren for making the Iron Front Northern California Chapter Discord https://discord.gg/JUQuZeFu and my amazing partner @ArcadeofAuras for being an amazing influence and helping me reform myself

Hello! I'm a 34 year old woman from Minnesota. I work as a research scientist studying DNA repair and microbiology at a local university. I've joined mostly out of curiosity, but that curiosity exists because I can't recall a time in my life that I thought the politics of this country were on a good track. All I've ever seen/known is what I would call a dumpster fire. And, somehow, it has gotten rapidly worse. With the recent rulings, I'm having a hard time believing any of it is real, like it won't absorb, but I know that it is. I am interested in talking to people who are similarly alarmed and don't want to see the roots of dystopia flourish to a full blown tree bearing hateful, violent fruit.

Got plates, a Glock, and an AR-15 but I already spent all my attribute points on melee combat so I don't really know how to shoot yet. I'm reluctant to go to ranges on my own as I don't know gun culture or which ranges to avoid. If someone in the Bay Area would be willing to teach me to shoot, I would be happy to teach them to fight. Fun fact: I drive a Russian sidecar bike with a fun history of killing Nazis!

I'm from North Worcester County, Massachusetts. I have 5 years of electoral organizing experience and have organized in southern New Hampshire and everywhere thats West of the eastern Worcester County line. I'm an organizer and recruiter, I'm good with volunteer management and event planning. And I'm looking to get involved.. Patriot Front marched through my states capital last weekend and at first I was scared and angry. I decided I needed to get to work. Over the past week, I've been completely blown away by the sheer amount of people whose lines got crossed and decided to get involved somehow. I believe that if we, the people who love America and want Democracy to continue, want to be successful, as a general group or as members of the Iron Front, then we can't JUST be anti-fascist but we have to be Pro-Democracy. We have to conduct ourselves with great discipline which is extremely difficult in a decentralized organization. We need to stand for something, not just against something. Thats vital to recruitment efforts.. Obvious, I know, but important and never bad to repeat. I have some ideas I'd like to share on that topic and I'll post that in the appropriate channel. One last thing to address... The Nationalist Social Club. A white-supremacy group that is highly active in New England. They are doing lit drops all over the place and they even did a stand-out in Shirley, MA. I'm not ok with that. If anyone has heard of them, has info, is tracking their efforts, trying to infiltrate them, etc. PM me or tag me in the appropriate channel to discuss this further. So far I've been in contact with some local friends and we're tracking and recording lit drops, flyers, and stickers. Glad to be here. Lengthy intro, sorry bout that. 🤟

Good morning everyone. I decided to retype my intro because the first time around was a hurried little blurb that I threw out there for verification after having found this Discord. Anyway, I am ex-military and ex-law enforcement with firearms and tactical training on the LEO side. Don't hold it against me, there are many of us that were in law enforcement to actually help our communities. I am also a SAR member on a local team in Colorado, but I won't give too much away so I'm not completely doxxing myself. I now work and live in the mountains on the western slope of Colorado, but I'm in the Denver area often, and have pretty solid plans to move back to the front range at the beginning of next year. I have a child on the way and am looking forward to being active on the school boards when my child is of school age. I am also looking into other ways I can become more involved in local politics, because we know the right wing is focusing a lot of energy in that area as well. I have some experience in computer/network security. Pretty decent firearms experience, especially with AR, Glock, and 1911 platforms. First Aid/CPR Instructor (actually need to renew my cert, so I'm out of date right now...) Search and Rescue related skills such as land navigation, disaster response, etc. Pretty good at talking the talk with right-wingers, considering my time in mil/LE. On the political spectrum, I'd say I identify mostly as democratic socialist. I'm hoping to link up with like minded individuals for protests etc in CO. I'll be looking through the discord and seeing what I might be able to help with!

Hello people. Im basically a stereotypical software developer from CA currently living in MA because working from home allowed me to. If i'm not working in front of a computer i would rather be out running trails or training for a marathon. Over the last few years i have decided to get more active in politics because um things seem to have gotten a bit crazier especially as my ideology has drifted from a moderate conservative (grew up in a hyper conservative family) to somewhere around socialist. SKILS My primary skills would have to be full stack web development, networking, Python scripting and sys admin. Noticed there is a #physical-fitness-and-training and can help anyone out with cardio/running and general exercise/calisthenics. Looking to find people in MA to counter the hate groups like Patriot Front that are out here. I have been removing and reporting their stickers whenever i am out running and find them. (edited)

Hi, I am a concerned citizen currently living in central Michigan. I lean towards Social Democracy in politics. I have formal training in anthropology and thus I know how to gather and analyze information on how specific cultures or smaller groups work. Sun Tzu said, "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." Additionally, I have some training in business and I have family all over the world I might be able to contact to help us. I am also in several different patriotic organizations like the Sons of the American Revolution and I can put out feelers for more potential members from them. I am looking for groups in central Michigan that oppose fascists so I can get into the fight and also do what I can to ensure Michigan is blue in the next few elections at least.

Greetings, patriots! My name's Tsunamix, but you can call me Chris if you want. I was born and raised in Bermuda for the first few years of my life, but now I live in the region of America where the events that freed our nation all began; New England, more specifically Massachusetts. I was attracted to the AIF for many of the same reasons you all are here for; the advocacy and hope for an America free of authoritarian and totalitarian influence, an America where the phrases "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and "liberty and justice for all" genuinely stand firm. I also found the movement after suffering years from something a few of you may have gone through; the alt-right. From about mid-2017 up until the early months of the pandemic, I was exposed to the same old Anti-SJW bandwagon much of you saw during the rise and period of the Trump administration and general right-wing/far-right acts, which eventually led me to /pol/, and then eventually to National Socialism and Third Positionist ideologies. The funny thing about all of it is that many of the beliefs I had ascribed myself to all required purity; traits one would have to biologically possess, and yet, while I was straight (at the time), white, and a guy, I had two learning disabilities and was questioning my sexuality. On top of that, the island I grew up on (Bermuda) also had a significantly large black population of 60%, and I had known many people from that demographic growing up that I had made friends with. So my beliefs were incompatible with the events, figures, and traits I possessed so far in my life, yet I persisted with them. (edited)
3:18 PM
In much the same way Nick Fuentes tries to conceal his true sexuality, I became an internalized homophobe and xenophobe, behaving as horribly as possible to feel like I belonged somewhere. I started reading Evola, Devi, Mussolini, Mosley, Pierce, Hitler, Spencer, and other prominent figures of the third positionist movement, downloading PDFs and reading them discretely day by day. I frequented Bitchute and Dlive as well, absorbing countless pseudoscientific, anti-democratic, pro-totalitarian, and racially-charged videos from a wide variety of figures. I did everything that one could do as an ill-minded edgy-for-the-sake-of-being-a-dick millennial confused and angry at the world possibly could, but that was only hurting me. My friends drew away from me, my fear for others different than I increased. My anxiety increased, though I hid it from my family and friends. I felt like my whole world was out trying to kill me simply for my identity, but none of this was true. Instead, the environment I had been exposed to manipulated me. I now know that it was the result of an algorithm that wasn't fixed or monitored, and the enticing but dramatically-false opinions and ideas people lured me into believing as a means of gaining power and influence. Come 2018, I was at the peak of my alt-right phase, until something happened that changed me. My school was hosting a field day out by the banks of the Charles River, and one of the activities was a basketball match. One of my team members was black, and while I wanted to insult him and allude to his supposed inferiority, he struck up a conversation with me while we were in the stands. (edited)

He had many of the same interests as me; we both enjoyed Sci-Fi and Post-Apocalyptic entertainment like Fallout and Alien. It turns out we also both struggled with socializing at the time. Anyways, one thing led to another, and after that day, we started hanging out together. I brought him to my friend group, and we all had some good times. Meeting someone like him and striking up a friendship made me realize that there is no they or we, let alone degenerates or false gods. In reality, there is only us. Moreover, I learned that indifference does not constitute evil and horror; it includes uniqueness and camaraderie. Unfortunately, I left for another school in the Connecticut River Valley, one town north of Lyme. Still, the experience was enough to change my perspective of the world and humanity. As the next two years progressed, I would slowly lose interest and sympathy for the ultra-edgy and pro-fascist and authoritarian nature of the Alt-Right, /pol/, and racial pseudoscience. By the pandemic's beginning, I completely denounced my faith in such beliefs. Seeing my home slowly start to delve into territory that could breed the same things I became immersed in years earlier, I wanted to find something that could counteract authority, not just of the fascist, national socialist, or third positionist kind, but also of the crony, national bolshevik, strasserist, national capitalist, and tankie kind, and that was when I learned of the AIF from a classmate who participated in the anti-Straight Pride Parade protests of 2019. Flash forward two years later today, and I am now a full-fledged Synthesis Libertarian with a strong emphasis on community, coexistence, humanity, workers, demographics, and freedom and justice for all. I feel proud knowing that there exist people who wish for nothing more than a free, accepting, democratic, and liberating American society, and I am happy to be here. (edited)

Hey all, I’m originally from Illinois but live in Massachusetts for college. Double whammy, a village near me got shot up by a trumper on July 4th and the day before July 4th Patriot front marched on the freedom trail in Boston. Those two events more or less pushed me over the edge and I find that trump supporters are simply irredeemable fanatics at this point who need to be stopped at all costs. I think in the short term it’s crucial to vote for democrats but in the long run, the electoral college needs to be abolished, I also think the senate needs proportional representation and that gerrymandering needs to be illegal and citizens United overturned, then I think a multi party system is crucial. Otherwise ideologically I fancy myself akin to a French 19th century radical liberal, I have similar policy prescriptions to the DSA scene but I base my worldview in liberal theorists that are more in line with our heritage such as Thomas Paine and John Stuart Mill, Rousseau, and Kant as opposed to Marx. Foreign policy wise I’m sort of a liberal hawk, but believe in multilateralism and smart power, a mix between constructivism and liberal internationalism. (edited)

Hey Comrades 👋 I am @leo and I'm from Houston TX. I have always found the U.S. political climate very frustrating and after years of seeing my family and friends all turn a blind eye, I've decided its time to really create some working class solidarity and spread the cause of the AIF. I'm hoping to work and collaborate with my fellow members and colleagues in activism and direct action in my local areas. My hobbies lie heavily in art, design, digital multimedia and A/V production: I am very passionate about reformative justice, and seeking a way to reorient the misguided, and de-escalating the right extremists at the grassroots. I hope to be one of the many powerful voices seeking to right fascism's wrongs.

Over the past 10 years, I've been gradually deconstructing my prior center-right conservatism into being something more akin to DemSoc/SocDem. The resistance efforts of various Antifa and BLM demonstrations in the face of harsh state oppression snapped me out of my apathy, so now I'm here. I'm not really attracted to Anarcho-Communism or similar veins, so when I came across the historical Iron Front, folks like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and other resistance movements grounded in democracy, liberty, and equity, I knew I had a direction and a thread to pull.

Over the past 10 years, I've been gradually deconstructing my prior center-right conservatism into being something more akin to DemSoc/SocDem. The resistance efforts of various Antifa and BLM demonstrations in the face of harsh state oppression snapped me out of my apathy, so now I'm here. I'm not really attracted to Anarcho-Communism or similar veins, so when I came across the historical Iron Front, folks like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and other resistance movements grounded in democracy, liberty, and equity, I knew I had a direction and a thread to pull. Armed pacifism with a willingness to engage with empathy to convert the other side to righteousness. (edited)

Nah, I've been out of "the game" for 10 years essentially unlearning the BS stuff while finding the core of what I believe to be real and essential. I've been in leadership with hyper-conservative churches (even played in a worship band with -the now- Debbie D'Souza, wife of pardoned felon Dinesh and worshipped next to the, then, Sheriff Troy Nehls, now Trump-worshipping congressman) and hyper-leftist churches, both of which missed the mark completely and did a lot of damage.

Hello all! I am from Southwest Missouri, lived here for most of my life. Went to college here and trained as a police officer before(fortunately) choosing another career path. Been looking for a way to get involved to push back against Trump’s ilk for some time now and AIF looks promising. Not just going to let them take our flag or redefine what it means to be a patriot. Looking to get involved locally in any way I can be of assistance.

I’m leslie. I was born in rust belt USA. My 7 boomer aunts and uncles had unaddressed mental illnesses (lead poisoning? CPSTD?) and I was in survival mode up until my mid 30s until I broke down. I joined the army at 17 to escape an abusive place and poverty. I do not like “bootstraps” bc that literally means combat boots for those poor ppl who either go to prison, stay poor, or in my case go to war. I got out of the army in 2020 and felt even more trauma that the “family” I had with the army was a facade. I advocate for healthy community and inclusion for all humans. We need it to be mentally healthy, not chasing a dollar. No one should work more than one job unless they want to. (edited)

Howdy. I'm from New Mexico, born and raised. I did just a single 6-year enlistment in the Air Force. I would have remained in, but I did not enjoy being a mechanic working 16 hour shifts in weather, so I became a Certified Nurse's Assistant and worked 16 hour shifts indoors instead (for $9 an hour) taking care of the elderly / mentally disabled. Now I work for the State government, and my job involves me fighting for Worker's Rights through enforcement of the law. Through my work, I have seen exactly how the Christo-Fascists in the southern part of the state treat their employees, both American and undocumented immigrants. I was required to communicate COVID protocols to these people, listen to their angry rants about government overreach and that they have the choice to do with their bodies as they will. Then they turn around and complain, whimpering that they can't breathe with a mask on. But they celebrate police choking people to death. They celebrate restricting women's reproductive rights. They call for "moral" leadership and yet only push policies that support major businesses. One representative was investigated for participating in the January 6th assault on our nation. They steal paychecks and blackmail people who are uneducated on their rights as workers. They trick young kids to say workplace injuries happened at home, promising to help pay the bills. They've become louder and bolder over the last few years. As an aside, while I condemn our government for its failings, such as the failures that created modern-day Iran up to the failures that are our healthcare and education systems, I am a proponent of NATO and believe a professional and global-reach military is the only way to ensure a peaceful existence for ourselves and our allies. I am against using the military as a means of assisting corporate interests. Ukraine is the modern example of what happens when authoritarians run rampant, preceded by Iraq in 1991. (edited)

Hey everyone, I'm from Texas. Grew up in a stereotypical white flight suburb within commuting distance of DFW. Went to church every sunday and was a good little conservative child until highschool when I started noticing the only thing Fox ever said was mean spirited and toxic and I started meeting people of other religions and backgrounds. Over the course of the following years I started paying attention to the hypocrisy in my baptist church and a friend showed me Behind the Bastards and I just kinda slowly worked myself out of my little conservative corner. I only became aware of how active christian dominionism a couple years ago and now it seems that the very thing I thought and said was a danger is becoming mainstream. I'm disgusted by how the very system I was raised to believe was a net good has been a complete lie and has throughout history been the instigator of uncountable crimes and innumerable amounts of suffering. I want that to change but it feels like voting isn't enough and the warning signs are all around me. So I'm preparing the best I can and trying to find like minded people in my area. I don't have any military experience or high level education but I am trained and certified to work in a medical or chemical laboratory and I am an Eagle scout (with whatever baggage that carries). I'm, quite frankly, unsure if whatever skills I have are even usable to this organization but I'm willing to learn and try. And for what its worth I'm starting my bachelors program soon.

Hello. Canadian here. I've grown up and since moved away from the Toronto area. Had a strange and adventurous life of mostly fending for myself out of a duffel bag. Have since graduated university, worked all over the country, travelled, and in doing so begin to feel crazy and turn inward. The world is a fragile thing we made up barely held together. Its abused and taken for granted. I see people as commodity and resources and it is scary. I am aware of the history and sort of stumbled here in a very round about organic fashion. If nothing else hang with people who see some room for improvement and resilience in our lives. I have tried all the major drug food groups and have recently given up the hooch and also have a friendly training ed pooch. Cheers from above

Hello! I am near the Louisville, KY area. I am an Army veteran, 19D Cavalry Scout. From that I have basic infantry combat skills, land navigation. I am interested in training with you all in that regard. I'm also a musician with a degree in Sound Engineering, as well as a BBA in Finance, though I don't really see that as much of a skill rather than an awareness of how capitalism "works". I am also an amateur computer programmer with knowledge of Python, I am currently working on an IOT garden automation app and device to help people grow their own food. I've also built several Discord bots so I could do that here as well as host them for free. I currently work as a Farm Manager for an organic farm-to-table concept that supplies vegetables for our restaurant. I have tools and skills to build the same professional level organic gardens for others in their backyards and would really love to do this for the group as well!

Hi, I'm a 26 year old trans woman from Tulsa, Oklahoma!!! I grew up in & around the precursors to the modern alt-right, thankfully the propaganda my family threw at me while they were larping as Libertarians stuck with me. I honestly wish they'd ever read any of it instead of using it as wool to cover for their insane beliefs. I've spent the last few years going to local protests, making anarchist propaganda/memes, and figuring out how to put together a Geo-Anarchist real estate firm to speed run crashing the land market & start a privately operated self funding UBI off the proceeds. I'm also a major supporter of gun rights and spend a fair bit of time at the range & in the hills doing target practice & fitness work. HMU if you have questions about gear or training.

Sorry folks, didn't even see the tab. I'm a 25 queer man from New Mexico originally, now in Northwest MIssouri, an eagle scout, and a reformed theocratic fascist (what can I say, my father believed the church was the only answer to the political bullshit of either party) and now I identify as a social corporatist with left-libertarian focus. My skills kind of lie all over the place, in that I have a lot of trade skills that I picked up from family, some from scouts, and some in college before dropping out (mechanical engineering, followed by a business major I never fully completed). I am also somewhat disabled due to a spinal injury, and now I'm trying to manage as a novelist. I'm here because I think it's certain that America is on a trajectory to become a fascist regime, and I don't want them to be able to strip myself, and most of my friends of our lives, liberty, and happiness because they can't read their own damn book, and do it in the name of a god I believe in personally.

Hello. I am a 19 year old man in college and living in the northeast. When was younger i was both a tankie and a kaiserboo at different points(thankfully those days are dead now). Currently I hold highly unusual political views which are essentially a combination of social democracy and extreme militarism, which I have termed "ultramilitaristic socialism", as my views are so weird that this is the only way to describe it. I am a writer and artist, and I have an obsession with military equipment(which has actually come in handy, as I commonly use my knowledge on guns to explain to gun rights advocates why letting people own semi auto rifles is not particularly intelligent, in language they understand) and I know a lot about history(NOT just military history however) and attempt to see a less biased perspective on things as much as I can, though I admit I am not always successful. I am here because I am directly threatened by the Trumpers attempting to create a fascist dictatorship being an atheist and an ex Jew. I do not want people to suffer under the degeneracy of fascism, as fascism harms all severely, even the ones it claims to be defending, but it of course is especially harmful minorities and women. My dream of a democratic society with almost no influence from religion and traditional values is also under threat from the fascists as they are opposed to anything short of a christian version of Iran. I also do not want the US military to fall into their hands as there really isnt much one can do to stop them if it does. In the name of democracy and egalitarianism, I stand against the insanity of fascism. (edited)

basically I believe that a socialist society can only be achieved through a parliamentary democracy with left wing economic policies and minority rights protected. In order to safeguard this, I believe that a state must have an exceptionally powerful military(not just budget, because france has an extremely good military on a surprisingly low budget for how effective it is) in order to defend its democratic system and liberal cultural values from all external threats
9:21 PM
I also believe that use of said powerful military against other states which can be considered fascist states is completely justified, as long as the military is trained enough to not do the kind of BS the Russian military does(hence my opposition to conscription) (edited)
9:24 PM
One also needs some level of capitalism in an economy however if the economy is to function, for while socialism is the transmission for the economy, capitalism is the engine, and you need both for an economy to be healthy, which is one of my many reasons for not particularly liking communists, even if I believe in working with them if necessary against the fascists(same for anyone). Also I think religion should not be allowed in the government at all, and that an ammendment forcing secularism on all government officials should be passed, and anyone who does not comply with this should be eligable to vote, but not run for or hold public office (edited)

Hi everyone, I am a PhD student currently living in Atlanta, GA but was raised in California. I consider myself left leaning politically, and I want to get more involved in the active prevention of fascism and racism creeping into my beautiful country. The skills and traits I bring to the table are limited but may be of use: research (scientific-based research and writing), professional copyediting (reviewing grammar and suggesting stylistic edits), handgun experience, and charismatic average-looking white male. Though interested in active involvement, I am still a student and have a somewhat limited schedule. Regardless, I will do my best to meaningfully contribute wherever needed.

Hello my fellow Americans. My name is Alexander (he/him), I'm 29 years old, and for now I live in NYC. I work in logistics, but have a broad skillset in negotiation, transport of goods/people, public speaking, electronics tinkering, 3d printing, and more. Like many of you I am fucking livid at the state of America, how so many have elected to abandon American Values in favor of tyranny and oppression. My background is in evangelical Christianity, and I even preached for a time. Truly I say to you all, the Christian Delusion is the most dangerous threat to America that our generation has ever seen.

I'm from southwestern Pennsylvania. I believe that preparedness is an absolute must, and that a community is only as strong as those defending it. I managed to escape the right wing rabbit hole that I'd fallen into in my early teens, and now I'm trying to teach my friends to fight back against tyranny and fascism. I'm only 19, but I am willing to fight back. I am an anarchist, but I believe in the spirit of this country and it's people.

Hey, I’m an Indianapolis resident born and raised. I’ve been on and off when it comes to being politically active. I attended a couple Trump events to see what they were like first-hand, and goodness does that man have mind control over these people. I studied political science for a couple years, though I didn’t graduate. I then went dormant politically until the Roe decision. As a man with a daughter, I absolutely must stand up for her rights and defend them at all costs. On the side, I enjoy sprint car racing which is a sport that is predominately conservative but not that many Trumpers. They’re too busy following Q and making wild Facebook posts. Anyways, I’m not exactly sure what the future holds but it’s good to have allies in your community so you can stand together as a group.

The political climate of Arizona is vastly different from what I grew up with in Colorado. I want to be apart of this group to help me cope with the increasing hate/discrimination I see around me. I want to know there are people out there who are against Proud Boys, MAGA cult , Q, Fascists, Nazis, etc. I have skills in graphic design and beekeeping. Thank You

I don’t want to sound too conceited out the gate, but I’m pretty great at talking to people and being charismatic which I definitely need to put to use talking to fence-riders. I’m taking training on pre first responder trauma aid (stabilizing), as I’m not the type to own firearms and I still gotta help in some way. I am a pretty damn good shot though, so if I was handed a gun I’d be very effective. Most of my other skills are in physical technology, like alarm systems, data infrastructure, and electrical. If we need someone to put up a solar array for some reason, I’m the guy.

I’ve started training circles in the area and am a member of the SRA. I also organize clothing donations. Kinda of like Pikachu (also my cats name) I’m very good at talking to people. I’m the fire starter for when speeches are made at local protests apparently because I don’t read from my phone and just go off which folks connect to more. Education, Action, and Community are the focuses of my current local groups.

Have been involved with the Freemasons but left as just an EA. Worked with many nonprofits throughout the state mostly youth and the homeless but anywhere in-between and have put together fundraising and other large community events for those organizations. Camp quite often (always have backpacking gear ready to go) and enjoy shooting.

I’m a pretty-far-leftist living in a deep red state, so groups like this are attractive to me.

I’m a theater tech by trade with a specialty in live sound, having been the ATD at a small performing arts theater most recently. I’m passionate about firearms and music, with a burgeoning interest in Ham radio. Handy with tools, ok with cars, I’ve dabbled in graphic design and animation, though I’m not great. Currently studying for my low voltage license and learning the ins and outs of network management (unsure if that’s the right term.)

Howdy everyone, I’m 28, he/him, a musician, I have a music degree, my main hobbies first and foremost are just vibing and talking to other people, I’ll do a lot of stuff if it’s a shared experience with others. I mainly want to use this as a place of news, sharing of activities in my area, and if I could find a broader network of AIF people around me, that would be cool as well. I’m in North Carolina. I have done very elementary graphic design and video editing, but I’m more than willing to take a back seat if someone more experienced than I wants to do things like that instead.

Hello. I'm in my late-thirties, from the SF Bay Area. I have experience in banking and data analytics/science. My formal education is in economics (MS). For fun I'm a gamer, I ride motorcycles, and a fan of sci fi novels/shows/movies. Mainly I want to stay up on fascist activities and learn about what we can do to keep them in check since law enforcement can't be fully trusted. As for what I can contribute, I do data, so if someone gets their hands on some raw data, I can clean it up, run some numbers, and hopefully detect patterns or other information that could be useful for understanding the problem/solution.

I currently attend university so there are opportunities there for flyer drops and posting on public boards and such.

Hello, I'm Unu51, a 23 year old aspiring journalist from California. When I'm not working on my space exploration news blog Starseeker, I'm either playing video games, doing college work, or looking for a job as I am currently unemployed after quitting my job at Goodwill. I joined AIF because I have seen my family members' minds warped by the alt-right's rhetoric and my friends in the LGBTQ community derided as groomers and pedophiles solely to satisfy their hatred. I refuse to simply sit by and watch the GOP and its associates twist America into a vile fascist parody of itself. This is also the reason I joined the Coalition for the Common Defense as the alt-right absolutely loves to silence those who speak out against them by any means necessary, so I will defend them by any means necessary. To that end, I have purchased a M3 respirator and a riot shield as well as looked into purchasing a firearm. So if AIF needs some security for any events in Orange County, I'll do my best to be there.

Skills you have that are relevant to the work of AIF: I've never taken part of something like this before, so unfortunately my skillset in this area is fairly basic. I have a basic knowledge of editing pictures since I have thumbnails I use for a YouTube channel. I've been a discord moderator/admin for the last few years on various servers, one of which I own. So I could potentially help here if mod/admin applications ever open up.

Trucking will take me away from home for long stretches, but that doesn't take away my belief in what you guys are about. -Why you joined this server/AIF in general. I've just started here, so I'd like to meet some of the community. -Your location by U.S. state/country (if outside U.S.) MA. I go back and forth between New York and Massachusetts a lot.

Hi all, I live in Minnesota, I am 23, and work as a data engineer. I love video games, walkability based urbanism, and nature. I joined this server because I have been concerned about christo-facism in the US for the last few years but as I learn more about the world as I've learned about the true nature of the far right. I have noticed the political situation starting to turn its head in a way I cannot ignore if I am to stay in the US. I have software development and data analytics skills I can provide, and can also help with website work, though I am not a designer. I would be more than happy to help with IT architecture, as well as gathering and displaying data as well as addressing other needs that might arise related to software. edit: My pronouns are he/him (edited)

I’m a graphic designer that made graphics and posters for AIF In the past before leaving the group for other things. In my mid 20’s currently unemployed back in school. Fan of firearms and recreational shooting, history, and political agitation art. I’d like to help by giving us some good propaganda to use. I joined to organize with folks and possibly get to know some more local anti fascists. Currently in Upstate New York.

Saw this on reddit. Appreciate the space for taking points of patriotism from the right, and I appreciate the history of iron front. Towards the diverse reality of working class awareness. Building strength locally; Economic. Physical. & Political. I personally am 🏴 anti authoritarian, anti capitalist, anti racist with a belief there is more realized growth to an individual and to the collective when these restraints are regulated. Small strong local government open to the big dream in everybody. I can get with the concepts of “for all”, “we the people” reclamation but I can hardly imagine getting excited to fly one national flag. I’d imagined the bonds for healthy communities are being regarded to nicer on the left and I want to support that. It’s a patriotism actualized instead of symbolized. National flags symbolize and entice performances of patriotism instead of producing the actual healthy neighborliness. Or… maybe I’m here to be proven wrong for a moment. Mareland represents. Route1 bamas are antifacist.

My name is Alex and I've been concerned with fascism since around my early childhood as I grew up Arab in post 9/11 America watching brown world leaders be lynched on live TV after coups as well as other Arab-Americans being thrown into camps with no trial. 2016 is when that concern grew and I learned about fascism as a concept as I got into competitive speaking and debate. Now as the country slips further into fascism I peruse antifa subs and that's how I ended up here. I'd describe myself as a Democratic Confederalist but for simpler terms I'm a libertarian socialist. Looking forward to exercising my anxieties by working with you all hahaha edit: I did MUN, speech, and debate at the national level all throughout high school so I'm well versed with policy, theory, and organizing small groups/teams.

I'm 20 yrs old, from NJ and I've been wanting to get more involved with politics irl recently but I haven't gotten around to actually joining any organizations or attending any meetings or anything so far. I figured I'd join here as a start, to network with ppl and maybe try to get more people educated & involved with these kinds of issues. I think broad, patriotic political coalitions like this one are extremely important for fighting against authoritarianism, corruption and other issues that the majority of normal, sane Americans are against but do not properly organize to fight, so that's a big part of what attracts me to the AIF.

I'm going to keep this short, if you have any questions please feel free to pm me. So I'm based out of semi-rural Kansas, I watched MAGA/Qanon politics completely warp many of people in my community. I've publically overheard too many red flag conversations in my area to not be alarmed. I think we are at a serious point in American politics where fascism is trying to find comfortable ground. I want to make sure this country remains free from Christian Nationalist and Far Right/Alt-right terrorism. I'm actively involved in both armed and unarmed self defense training, and I look to join the local JBGC. One of my main goals is to organize or join a disciplined security team to protect local events that right wing terrorist nazi scum usually target. I believe organization, logistics, and communication between like-minded groups is key to sealing a victory against fascism. Guess all this boils down to I'm not going to let my country fall to a bunch of cross-burning goose-stepping insecure incel inbred flag-fucking lady-beating diesel-boofing methmouthed playtriot gravy seal manchildren. Who are quick to call people who stand up against their bullshit snowflakes, but break down at the sight of bottled coffee, skinny jeans on men, and that mr potato head doesn't have a dick on it.

Hey just heads up make sure not to post any identifying info on this server. We have to assume fascists are monitoring it and we don't want anyone to get doxxed and harassed. First name is probably ok but just be careful and if you're ok using a fake name that's probably better. ☺

Gabriel - WA-04 11/10/2022 1:48 PM
[Skills] I unfortunately do not believe I possess any unique skills to aid in AIF's efforts. However, I would love to work towards developing any particular skill or skills that's needed by the organization. [Reason for Joining] I joined this server after becoming curious if there was either a modern international or American spin-off of the Eisernen Front. Came across the AIF's flag and then stumbled upon the website, where I saw that there was a discord server and joined to see what the community and organization were like. I've always felt that most antifascist or leftist movements in the US have had poor strategy and organization, so after learning of the Eisernen Front and their strong open and organized resistance against fascism. I believe that most organizations on the left are disorganized, too passive in their messaging and either underestimate or poorly utilize, the power of good symbolism and a unifying banner. So I joined in search of an organization that had similar goals. [I'm aware that AIF describes itself as a big-tent organization, and not as leftist.] [Basic Info] My name is Gabriel, I'm a 21yo from WA-09, highest education was HS - planning to enroll in CC soon. I currently work in fast-food, but looking to switch to welding or security, perhaps something else. As for hobbies, I am interested in learning languages, consuming various otaku media and learning a variety of things of other topics. (edited)

Hi! Nearly-40 progressive-minded dad. I have some experience with process, organization, and operations for a large-scale IT firm. My hobbies are Detroit sports. I joined to keep tabs on the movement and see where I might be able to help in protecting our democracy for future generations.
Yay! More parents. Welcome 😁 glad to have you. If you're in Michigan make sure you head over to the state channel after you get let on to the larger discord server.

Oh - my apologies for not including the other info. I am currently a full-time graduate student, actually specializing in far-right groups/neo-fascism. I'm in my mid-20s and am hoping to assist any DC area comrades with stickers/distributing materials, counter-protesting, etc. Joined this discord not only because I believe in the AIFs mission, but because I'm working to make its mission my life's work.
Welcome!

Hello, I have multiple skills and abilities that I believe can help AIF. Those include filmmaking/editing, organization/logistics, photography, as well as a passion to get our and do something instead of sitting on the sidelines. Quick info: I am 21 years old, I am also a Plumber. For AIF I want to get involved in regards of activism, whether that be postering, community outreach, etc. I just want to be involved in something. I joined this server to find more likeminded individuals fighting for patriotism and looking to join a community of active activists, instead of just sideline activist that say they want to do something but just are all talk.

Good evening, Skills: Geographic Information Systems, Data Analyst. 35, bachelor's, fishing & woodworking I am hoping Geo Info Systems can be beneficial to the AIF in times of need with planning, analysis, or documentation of fascist/alt-right/hate driven initiatives or events. Joined because I've been an active antifascist for years. Would like to put my skills to use. For good. Live in Georgia and if you've paid attention to recent elections and the past 8 years, Georgia has all the qualities a place needs to institute oppression of anyone, but in particular the POC communities and disrupting free and fair elections through legislature.

Skills: graphic design, computer programming (web development primarily) About me: My name is Karis, my pronouns are xe/xim, and I'm a 21X (non-binary) omnisexual and demisexual Sunni Muslim convert originally from Brentwood, TN now living in Chattanooga. I'm fed up with the "hateful lies and rhetoric"
who has had enough of the hateful lies and rhetoric the fascists in power spread
in the same way as stated by @6L3THAL#0663 (as I couldn't have possibly said it better). I'm fed up with the far-right fuelling the hatred of the wilfully ignorant. I want to make a difference--and I want to bring people together. Location: Tennessee, United States Hobbies:
  • graphic design
  • songwriting
  • physical fitness
  • creative writing
  • gaming (I guess?)
Why I joined:
  • I like making posters/contributing through artistic expression.
  • I want to make a difference in my community/for my community.
  • Due to the increasing popularity of alt-right ideologies among U.S., I’ve become afraid that LGBTQIA+ rights might be on the chopping block (I’m omnisexual and non-binary), and I’m afraid of an increase in hateful behaviour towards religious minorities (which affects me too) and an increase in hate in general.
  • I believe the people of the world need to ban together, not tear each other apart, and that fascism is the greatest threat to humanity.

I joined AIF because I'm feeling more urgently than I ever have that we need to protect our communities through grassroots direct action, and I don't know how to do that. I have long been politically active but I'm not connected to mutual aid groups and am trying to learn more about that.

My main goal is to create music relevant to the cause for our own motivation and to spread our message, as well as creating graphics for the use of important yet basic medical equipment and medical knowledge that could be relevant for direct actions or protests. I joined here because I feel like I've nothing to do with my hatred for fascism. I don't want to keep sitting around in anger in response to everything they do, I want to be part of a group that will fight against it and spread the word of good. I know you want more personally relevant information, but I'm not exactly comfortable letting that through until I've looked at this group more thoroughly and can verify its integrity. (edited)

Hello, I'm a centrist liberal and I'm having video game troubles you might be able to help with. I'm playing the classic game Wolfenstein 3D and I just can't seem to get past the first level. The problem is, the enemies won't listen to my well-reasoned discourse on why their ideology is flawed and instead just shoot me to death. I have a lot of guns and ammo at my disposal, but obviously killing the Nazis would make me just as bad as them. Do you happen to have any links to a walkthrough that would allow me to keep the moral high ground?

Hi! So I have some media outreach related experience related to public policy and economics discussion and I have rather strong organizational and risk management related competencies that could make myself useful on backend org stuff. I’m 21, I’m a grad student moving in to becoming a litigation economist post grad, big history, architecture, art and cooking nerd. I’m looking to join on and find a skill-applicable role where I can help out for AIF organization in Massachusetts. I’m a pretty staunch social democrat so the rise of fascism in the US and authoritarianism at broad across the world deeply disturbs me, and I’m interested in joining an organization that directly pushes against the decay in liberal democracy. I live in the Boston area.

Greetings, I go by Bendr_Bones (He/Him). I have skills and experience in organizing groups for political action. I am an ordained minister of The Satanic Temple and Co-Head (Elect) of the West Michigan congregation of The Satanic Temple. My primary target of activism is theocracy. I am, at heart, a secular humanist (with spicy imagery) and I use my position as a satanic minister to challenge the idea of religion and government being intertwined. I have spoken at city commission meetings and taken part in protests within Grand Rapids, MI including the George Floyd protests of Summer '20 and the march against the Dobbs decision in Summer '22. I am 31 years young. I enjoy lifting weights and learning counter-apologetics. I work in the service industry. Politiclly I am a Democratic-Socialist, however I have interest in the AnCom model, despite some criticisms. I wish to network with others from the American Iron Front so I can enhance my activism, become more aware of fascism, and provide my input on matters where theocratic fascism may be a primary cause for concern.

Is what you’re saying not gatekeeping? Keep in mind we’re relatively new. And how do you expect public conversation about action, when we span the nation & borders? The point is to find a community and discuss action privately.

Hello! My name is Rae. I use she/they pronouns, and I'm a 28-year-old living in Colorado. Skills I have that are relevant to the work of AIF: To be honest, not many (if any); I'm a newbie to organized resistance, but I'm super eager to learn and participate. I am currently being vetted for the Front Range Soup and Rifle group as well as the Denver JBGC! I'm also loosely involved with the Denver Pink Pistols, but TBH they are really disorganized. Personal info: I am currently unemployed but looking; I am immunocompromised and a thyroid cancer survivor, so I stayed safer at home during the bulk of the pandemic, and I just recovered from a hysterectomy, so now I'm as ready as I'll ever be to go back to work. I have a high school diploma and have taken some college courses. Pre-pandemic, most of my job experience is from my time as a paraprofessional (A.K.A. teacher's aide). I have also been an ACA/TA (animal care assistant/technician assistant) at a veterinary clinic, and I have done call center work for my local community college as well. My hobbies include watching TV/movies, playing video games, tabletop gaming, singing, writing, drawing, reading . . . What I want to do for AIF: Anything I can! I want to help. Why I joined this server/AIF in general: I am antifascist AF and I want to get involved and make a real difference in my community as well as in the broader country and beyond!

Hello. i reside in the unceded territory of the Yokuts people of Turtle island, called California by colonists. I am from the Tsalagi nation. You can call me Willow, she or they, and I abhor fascism in all its forms. If you're working for the government, or the nazis, just send someone to my house already, because i confess- I have a grudge against nazis, and if you don't stop the reich then we will. I am available for demonstrations, actions, and campaigns online and in person, as well as more in depth information seeking. As far as my subsistence, I'm what you call an an accountant, in the vernacular - a sex worker, a fetish provider or dominatrix. in other words, I'm a convicing actor and I know how to get what I want. I also have experience 'handling' violent extremists in a close setting for extended periods of time, black mailing people, and torture. All consenting, of course. I am self educated with many interests, like religion and psychology. I can instill doubt in a vulnerable person, and i can make effective moral arguments. I know only a little about technology, but I can implement existing script and tools effectively, like DDOS or proxies, reverse image searches. I'm good at combing through data, like looking for people on social media and other sites. I have a list of Proud Boys and other boneheads that used to be on facebook in my area but i havent updated it recently. I am an amateur artist- my jam is street art, stickers and installations. I am conversant in leftist theory, but more importantly I have conversational skills useful for educating the people at large about our aims and recruiting sympathetic persons.i have a small social media following I was active in my community during black lives matter; I can follow directions, act alone, be a barrier, and act under pressure. I have been to jail, and I am familiar with the tactics used to entrap or coerce prisoners here; the police do not know me as an activist.

There is nothing they can take from me I am not willing to give; I make peace with death every day. I hate what America has become. Death to the reich and all fascists everywhere. "The revolutionary is a doomed man. He has no private interests, no affairs, sentiments, ties, property nor even a name of his own. His entire being is devoured by one purpose, one thought, one passion - the revolution. Heart and soul, not merely by word but by deed, he has severed every link with the social order and with the entire civilized world; with the laws, good manners, conventions, and morality of that world. He is its merciless enemy and continues to inhabit it with only one purpose - to destroy it."

Hello everyone, my name is Colin. I am 29 and a FTM. I am from Colorado, currently working in the railroad industry as a dual conductor/engineer. I used to work in private security and EMS. But I have done just about every civil service job a person can; volunteer fire fighter, healthcare, security, did some time with a police department on a college campus before getting away from that. I am also currently earning my bachelor's degree in criminal justice with a focus on forensic science. I'm very excited to start taking part in my local chapter here in Colorado. I would love to offer my services to help with first-aid and trauma training. I used to be a CPR/AED and trauma instructor for my private security teams. I would also love to get together a group so we can train with firearms and better understand what it means to be a responsible and safe owner, especially with people from my community who might be new or have had little to no exposure to firearms. This would include basic safety knowledge, some range time, and walking people through the proper maintenance for their weapons, including storage in the home and their rights are gun owners. I found this group via reddit after trying to find someone in my area like the John Brown Gun Club, Rednecks for Rainbows, etc. So I am very excited to be here and I hope to be part of something amazing.

Yes, hello! I still currently hold a national certification for the EMT-Basic level. I did complete my AEMT training while living in Nevada. I also have experience with protest based medical care. I believe I still have all the training materials that were provided by the Vegas BLM Chapter if they are needed. And I have experience with Urban, Rural, and Wilderness medicine. Plus I am well versed when it comes to the medical care of transgender and non-binary patients. So I am here to help however I can. I'm also willing to help other states with their medical needs. I am mobile so I can travel as needed for training purposes.

Required information: Skills you have that are relevant to the work of AIF (ex. Filmmaking, Graphic Design, Protest Organization)

Programming / Software Development (Ruby, Python, a bunch of other languages), System Administration (Linux, OpenBSD, Windows)

Recommend information:

Quick personal info like age, what you do/did as a job, your education, your hobbies.

  • 30 years old
  • Cloud infrastructure engineer (currently between jobs)
  • High school graduate, some college
  • Music, gaming

What you want to do for AIF

I have almost a decade of programming experience, including with both Ruby and Python, and this seems like a good cause to put some of those skills to use for something other than paying my bills.

Why you joined this server/AIF in general

I've been active on /r/IronFrontUSA for awhile now. The Discord seems like it's worth checking out.

Hello I am a New Yorker of 18 years of age with a passion for graphic design and a want for FDR style economic and by proxy social reform I wish to occasionally partake in discussions and in general learn more about this group, with my main interest in it besides its policies and history being the sharp nature of its over all presentation from an artistic perspective. A trait unfortunately usually only found in extreme far right or extreme far left movements. I hope to further promote the iron front movement to others around me to bolster support and lend my graphic design capabilities to this organization in a positive way. (edited)

I'm already involved with doing training for marganalized people and leftists who are interested in self-defense, first aid, and community. I'm interested in expanding my activism and getting more involved in resisting fascism and authoritarianism in all its forms.

The usa we are told we stand for and we work hard every day to maintain. I believe we need to reinstate and maintain more printed press and utilize the mail. We need to encourage free trade with a push toward more worker co ops and local trading. We need to PROTECT OUR RIGHT TO WORK with our hands and minds and make our own things and till our own land.

Ironically it's not that we haven't evolved towards it. It's that those in authority have culturally precluded us from being the people we evolved as. For over 9 million years including all but the last 6k of the 300k years humans have been here, hominids have existed as a progressively more cooperative social being. As ideologies that focused power in the hands of psychopaths came about, we've been driven away from that heritage.

No. Largely because there has been no significant investment in combatting the long term effects of climate change. There have been no serious efforts to change our food or energy infrastructure to the degree even NOAAs mildest predictions would deem necessary.

Required information: Skills you have that are relevant to the work of AIF (ex. Filmmaking, Graphic Design, Protest Organization) I’ve done graphic design and I’m pretty good at rhetoric and debate. Recommend information: -Quick personal info like age, what you do/did as a job, your education, your hobbies. 19m I currently work on a horse ranch High school diploma, currently on gap year and planning on switching major to something in Radiology. My hobbies consist of writing, video game, and lots of online debate (I think I’ve gotten fairly good at it). Also, is there a place for neurodivergent people here? -What you want to do for AIF I’m hoping I can find out what I can do to shift the direction the country is heading in. -Why you joined this server/AIF in general. I want to act, but I’m unsure of how to start, or where to direct my energy. I also think it’d be great to pick up some skills and create connections with likeminded people, because we are very atomized these days. -Your location by U.S. state/country (if outside U.S.) NC (edited)

Hello, I am a biologist from Belgium and I managed to gain "ownership" of the r/IronFrontEurope subreddit. I would like to know if there is a good way for us to integrate, collaborate, and grow the movement back in Europe where it originated. I was very pleased with the state of r/IronFrontUSA, finally finding like-minded antifascists that weren't extremists either. I have little experience in things that might help, especially for America, but I can always learn skills for that. I have also contacted the mods of the subreddit regarding my ownership of the european one.

Hey, my skills that would be useful to the movement are graphic design, did it for work for two years. And I am pretty decent at coding with Java and website management / creation. And activism. I am 27 years old, located in western Washington. I’m a veteran currently going to school. I’ve worked odd jobs since getting out of the army. Looking to just get involved with like minded people. Came here because I’m tired of watching our country be taken over by lunatics. In particular the alt right and religious right.

Skills: I am a community activist and I can help organize protests if anyone needs help. Age: 20 Why I joined: I have always been a bit more ‘radical’ than the average liberal in the sense of wanting to push back against fascism and other extremist groups, but not so far as to create some kind of anarchist/communist world. So I feel that the Iron Front is probably my kind of group. Especially since its inspired by og iron front. Location: Florida

I work in retail full time 5am-2pm M-F and am pretty good with power tools or hand tools. Also I am a firearm owner with a cpl. I joined because I am very fed up with our political system and the lack of accountability that the police face. I am interested in gaming on Xbox and motorcycle riding. Hopefully that covers everything!

It’s been quite a few years since then and I’ve changed a lot I went from a heterosexual, far-right, infowarrior, fashie, and nationalist to a queer, anti fascist, punk, and democratic socialist.

Greetings. I am here for training and organizing purposes. I am based in Michigan. Signal is my preferred method of contact. I am planning to collaborate and eventually wish to revitalize an earlier organization I founded previously while working with US Intelligence; we created a coalition of journalists and intelligence professionals from multiple governments around the world. Unfortunately one of our co-founders was killed is Syria in February of 2018 after an artillery shell collapsed the building were she was in ISIS controlled territory during the Turkish artillery advance in response to the US leaving the YPG with truckloads of munitions. Those munitions were provided at the request of former President Donald Trump's administration. Since that incident our activity has dissolved. We had operated in regions throughout the world with just over 200 active agents in 2014. My fear is that with Trump no longer in the position of president in our country, our fellow citizens will turn a blind eye to the slow creep of fascism back into power in our country. That said, I would like to activate a new unit here. I see our organizations share a similar symbol. I think that should mean that our missions are similar enough that we could learn from each other and achieve a common goal. The symbol of the Global Intelligence Corps, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ufotKutyCtatBgfc388i0ZRwzZ7QJlgP/view?usp=sharing, is a black equilateral triangle with a magenta circle centered inside, from the upper-right of the circle, three black arrows protrude just over halfway through the center of the circle pointing towards the lower-left. We have used the Crash Course in Far-Right Symbols slideshow recently as a training for new members. Our organization is a fraternity of current and former intelligence officers, government agents, privy agents, activists, and scientists from around the world who have united to police fascism. I'd like to join with the AIF and collaborate.

Honestly, I'm not sure what skills I can provide that's relevant to the AIF, I'm not particularly artistic, I'm out of shape, I certainly don't like networking, but I'm willing to be a warm body. I joined this server because I saw a reddit post about it on the AIF subbreddit. I believe the current direction of the country will end with people getting put on trains and I want to stop that.

Hello! Going to make my introduction message real quick. I don’t really have any special skills that would be helpful in spreading the message of the AIF. I am very much passionate about the mission to not allow the spread of fascism in the United States. Info about me: I’m 27 and I work as a union plumber in the UA local 72 in Atlanta, Georgia. I am very much pro-labor and would like to see more workers in general to be represented by collective bargaining. In my free time I enjoy gaming, running, and training brazilan jiu jitsu. -As I said earlier, I don’t have any content creation skills like video editing or something that would be helpful to the AIF but I’m definitely a fan of the message. I would like to maybe be involved in protest or outreach in my area or nearby areas if possible. -I’m located in Atlanta Georgia, as stated earlier. (edited)

Hey there, I’m an electrical engineering student in Canada, I have some experience with general organizing, as well as experience with tense scenarios and de-escalation. Not too sure what I want to do for the AIF but seeing everything that’s happening, all the demonization and talk of genocide I figured I couldn’t stand aside and watch. I’ve been to a few protests in my area and plan to attend more when I can to support the lgbtq community and our city in general against the facists Edit: suppose it’s also good to mention I have wilderness medical training and experience with firearms (edited)

Hey everybody, I'm Nathan (He/Him). I have skills as a cybersecurity analyst and use OSINT professionally to identify threat actors. I'm 23 years old with a B.S. in Cybersecurity and work full-time at a 24/7 security operations center servicing public-sector clients. My hobbies include motorcycle riding, PC gaming, tinkering with my Steam Deck, and target practice with my AR15, bullpup shotgun, and pistol with family and friends. I'm interested in putting forth arms and muscle to assist the AIF in protests or anti-fascist engagements, and to lend my OSINT experience to locate and identify fascists online for intelligence and counter-insurgency operations. I'm drawn to the AIF because I value organized efforts to protect workers' rights, freedom of expression, freedom of love, and democracy. Furthermore, I seek an equitable society and economy through the dissolution of today's capitalist oligarchy and oppose any individuals and/or institutions that threaten these principles. In addition, the historical IF stands as a great inspiration and an ideal movement to uphold. I'm in Denver, Colorado, and eager to meet my fellow comrades.

I do enjoy gardening, looking forward to the growing season starting up in south east Massachusetts. I’m almost 45. I joined this server to stand together in the face of fascism. I have a family my wife and I work 40 hours a week, so we can provide for them. So things can be a bit busy at times. I have been to Fall River drag story hours after hear about the neo nazis showing up there and will be there next month. I play some disc golf and occasionally play video games, but with a little one there’s not much time for that stuff. I do enjoy making some bbq and hanging out by a campfire. (edited)

Good afternoon, my name is Leif Martin. I am a 47 year old male that is Living in Texas. I came across the reddit page for the Iron Front and after some research have decided to look into your organization further. I am ex military and a true US patriot that sees the tide of rising fascism in country and feels like there must be something I can do. As for skills I am not highly trained in any thing office related as I have lived a life of physical labor, but I hope that won't stop you from considering me for a part of your group. My main goal as of now is to meet talk and make sure that our belief and goals align and go from there. Thank you for your time and I hope you are having a great day.

Hi! Super excited to join this server. Tbh I’m not quite sure how well this can be applied to the movement, but I have experience video editing with Premiere Pro. I can also chroma-key (green screen) if necessary. I think that’s all I have, but I’m also young, queer, Jewish, and pissed at the state of our country, so I’ve got a lot of motivation to do anything y’all need from me! I’m a 23 year old recent college graduate who primarily works in theatre stage management. I’m really looking forward to helping AIF with organization and growing the movement, especially cause I’m in CT, which is farther from where the more prolific protests are happening right now.

Hi, I’m James. I’m just about to turn 50 years old, and I live in Chicago, where I teach math, science, and electrical trades to high school students. (My background in engineering is pretty versatile, it turns out). I’ve been an activist and protester since my teens, first engaged in the environmental movement, and more recently with anti-racist action and other progressive causes. I’m first aid and CPR certified, and carry a medkit when at protests. I’ve helped organize rallies, and can set up a way better sound system (on battery power) than those shitty blow horns. I’ve been on the AIF subreddit for a couple of years, and someone there mentioned the discord and sent me the link. I believe in mutual aid, and want to work on organizing and networking with other people who are doing that kind of work: the more we do to support the needs of the people around us, the stronger we are as a society, and that makes us more resilient against fascism.

I’m not exactly sure which of my skills might be relevant to AIF, but I have several. I am an honorably-discharged Marine Corps veteran, with the basic skill set that entails. I have experience coordinating logistics (former warehouse and delivery) and people (stage manager, regional coordinator position for a non-profit). I have public speaking and presentation skills, as well as a track record of helping people learn to communicate more effectively with each other (I am a licensed mental health clinician). As you can see, I’ve done quite a lot, but I don’t feel as if I have any particular role I am seeking—I’d like to see how I can help. I joined this server because I hate Nazis, but I am also not fond of Communists because they tend to be totalitarian, also. I think America needs some radical democracy and equality and absolutely no authoritarian government! I’m over 50 and not completely tech ignorant, but I am not perfect. I live in Oregon.

Required Info: I make films (animation) professionally and as a hobby. I have extensive experience in film-making and imagine creation/editing programs such as the Adobe suite and Blender, as well as audio programs. I worked as a sound-technician for theatrical productions for a few years, and have experience in analogue and digital sound systems. I am a graffiti artist who has trained under some notable people but will not mention them here to ensure their anonymity. In 2018 I helped organize the “March for Our Lives” school walk-out that took place across MD, VA, and DC. Recommended Information: I am 23. I work in the porn industry but have also worked for years as a line-cook and in construction and landscaping. I dropped out of school after nearly dying in a accident but this semester will finally finish my degree. Honestly, I’m not sure what I would want to do for y’all yet. I’m good at making documentary work like film and photos, and every cause should really have someone doing that kind of work. I imagine y’all also need artists to create counter-propaganda. I was raised in Texas, and have experienced the alt-right pipeline they teach in our schools first hand, and am at least familiar with the tools and ideas that freed myself and my family from that poison, and recognize at least some of the ways of effectively administering that antidote to other people caught up in the hatred and lies. I used to be in the streets for protests, but my accident left me disabled, so I’m figuring out if I can still be a body in the crowd. I would like to join AIF because I believe in this country and the people who live here - that we can defeat the systems of cruelty that are killing us and our planet. I’m joining in the hopes that action now will prevent killing later. I’m in Virginia, but lived in DC for a long time and know the area very well still, and most of my political action is and has been done there.

Hi! I'm Koda (not my real name) and I'm from Connecticut. My specialty is music (currently re-learning guitar) and image editing. I'm a student currently, and I have a job. I want the join the AIF because of my main passion, music. I am a huge Death Metal and Black Metal nerd, and I really admire organizations like this and the Anti-Fascist Black Metal network. My main goal would be to spread the word of Anti-Fascism through working with other Anti-Fascist musicians, and eventually making music to promote that by myself. It's a personal thing for me to see that Black Metal Fascists and NSBM punks get told to f off from the scene, having dealt with them in the past and the scene has no place for that shit.

Required information: My Name’s Dan, I go by Eazy8 or some version of it online, I’m from Michigan, and I have been into graphic design and posters for a while, I’ve done some various protests for a while, I’m an amateur historian in college to become a professional historian, and I am hoping to study poli-sci and sociology as well; Recommend information: -Quick personal Info: I am 22, going on 23, I like doing graphic design, used to do short films in highschool, but I haven’t done that in so long I wouldn’t even consider it a skill; I’m a reenactor, specifically Viking age, so I have a lot of experience dealing with skinhead assholes, as mentioned above, I have an interest in history and politics, and would like to make a career out of it; I’ve mainly done manufacturing work for Herman Miller mostly, but also Gentex, or customer service retail jobs, which I hate; my current career path outside of history is leaning towards beer making and bartending, as I do home brewing and want to maybe do it as a side gig or a back up -What you want to do for AIF: Well, I want to become more involved in making real change, as I’ve worked a lot of non-union jobs and a unionized job, and so I’m super passionate about unions as a result, and I’ve lived in areas with a lot of income inequality, which influenced me into Democratic socialism, and most of my friend group is queer and non white, and so I’ve seen a people in very close to struggle with issues of oppression and I feel like I have a responsibility as friend to them and as an American in general to stand up for what’s right an make real change; I’d like to get more involved in protests, but I have a hard time finding out about them, and I do graphic design for fun, so I might be of use in making logos, flyers, and what not -Why you joined this server/AIF in general: I was browsing the subreddit, and saw the link, and figured it would be an excellent way to get more involved with further organizing, since I feel sporadic and unorganized action is ineffectual at best, and I want to play a part in making my country a better place -Your location by U.S. state: Michigan, specifically West Michigan, just outside of Grand Rapids, which is unfortunately a rather conservative area, which makes organizing difficult

Required information: I am a young US Marine with training in satellite communications (as well as the maintenance and use of radios and satellite terminals), industrial level welding on pressurized containers for Nuclear Power plants. Not sure what I can bring to this movement but I’m a blue collar patriot through and through who is interested in this patriotic non-extremist movement. Recommend information: -At 17 I became a welder for a nuclear power company operating in the Illinois midwestern region, at 18 I enlisted in the US Marine Corps, and now at 19 I’m what’s called a Digital Wideband Technician which essentially means I do maintenance on and sometimes supervise the operation of the satellite systems used by the USMC, I have a high school level education but with my trade school and military training I’d like to think I’ve gone beyond that a bit, physical fitness like long distance running and weight training are a favored hobby of mine but I also like ttrpgs like D&D and Paradox studios video games like Stellaris or Crusader Kings 3. -I’m not sure what I could do for the AIF, if it’s really what it’s advertised as I’m no stranger to planning and participating in public demonstrations or public speaking. -I joined this discord channel to learn a bit more about this organization and see if it’s really something I want to support. -Currently I’m stationed in Southern California though soon I will be transferring to a base in my home state of Illinois.

Hi there, I’ve been looking into a lot of open source investigating stuff into how the right in America has started to affect us up here in Canada, Alberta specifically. My skills are mostly things to do with the outdoors. I have experience with lots of long distance nicking as well as experience spending days out in the bush with minimal equipment. I also worked in life saving roles throughout my life including a high risk security guard were I had too regularly use emergency first aid. I am a 23 year old trans man, I currently work as a farmer. I spend my time hiking as I mentioned as well as fishing and video games. I wanted to join because I want to have a group of people here in Alberta that are organized just in case trans people start to be targeted here. I also wanted to join because I wanna help aid those in the states as well with all the new legislation coming out that’s so harmful to my community. I’m from Alberta Canada.

Like I said, I'm willing to make myself useful in whatever way I can. Currently I don't have very many connections where I'm at so I'm hoping that I can get help with organizing in my local area. I'm joining an antifa group because I've had anarchist ideals for a long time and I want to find a community to engage in real praxis with, as opposed to the petty individual actions I've done up to this point.

Heyo! I'm a 30 year old software developer based in Idaho. I've done both web development and community organization. I see there's a chapter in Idaho so I thought this could be a great opportunity to meet rare likeminded locals. I'm a transgender woman and I have concerns for the collective safety of our demographic in light of recent events.

Okay. I'm choosing to go by "Hank" for the moment, as there were suggestions in and around opsec in this forum. What I want to fo for AIF is really just be of service. I'm not sure how yet, as I think I know very little about what you do or how you do it, but it seems like what you want is to do what I imagine good to look like, and I want to be a part of that.

hi! i am isabel (she/her). im an 18 year old college student from virginia. i plan on majoring in art education as i want to be an art teacher. prior to college, i worked as a barista at a local coffee shop for two years, and will probably go back to doing that this summer, even though i kind of hate it. i consider myself to be an anarchist, but i definitely still have much to learn. i try to read as much as possible. i want to join the AIF because i fucking hate fascists and want to actively contribute to the demolishing of fascism in any way i can. i do art in my free time, mostly drawing, and am currently teaching myself photoshop. i think i could definitely help with graphic design/creating propaganda and whatnot. i also feel that i could be of assistance when it comes to infiltrating the online spaces of fascists and finding information about them online and through social media.

Hey everyone! My name is Andrew Kerley and I work for The Commonwealth Times. I go to VCU as a Journalism/Economics student. Hobbies include writing, video games, cooking, some art stuff, pretty much anything. I just like hanging out with my friends tbh. I don't really want to JOIN the Iron Front, I'm actually here to seek out information regarding the protest that happened at VCU on Wednesday. I met some of your members there and they said that they might be interested in talking to me. You don't have to let me in the server, but if you could ask Arionette#7236 & USBT#6051 to answer their dms, that would be awesome. That being said, if you do want to let me into the server, I'm all ears! There is so much misinformation being spread about what transpired, and we want to correct the narrative in an in depth article. If anyone wants to give me tips, info, photos, videos, or anything at all please hit me up! (You can remain anonymous of course)

Hi friends! I'm TJ (they/them). I'm an epidemiologist in my early 30s. Previously, I served as a health education volunteer with the Peace Corps and did a stint as a middle school teacher. I have a BA in Global Health and a MS in Public Health. Besides data analysis and visualization, I like reading scifi & fantasy books, hiking with my dog, and peer pressuring people into voting. Ideally, I'd love to get an active AIF chapter going in Arizona. I helped organize the Phoenix March for Science, which gave me experience organizing a large-scale protest locally (meeting with city officials, arranging street closures, coordinating vendors, etc…). I can also help with designing infographics, reports, and other data viz stuff like that. I'm especially passionate about equity in viz, so I have lots of resources on things like accessible design and avoiding implicit racism in data reporting. I'm a loudmouth introvert (yes, we exist!), which means I'm comfortable with public speaking but not so great at networking/recruitment. I joined this server because I believe in democracy and oppose all forms of authoritarianism. The AZ AIF insta hasn't posted since 2021, so right now I'm just looking for a way to get more involved in collective action.

In regards to skills I have on offer, I'll be fully honest. I have no clue what I'm capable of, or what of value I can offer. This isn't to say I'm fully useless, moreso to say I'm sort of just unawares of what I could offer. That aside, name's Arcade. Currently unemployed, but I've got 7+ years of work experience in various fields. At the moment, my hobbies include writing (creatively or otherwise), editing (big projects or small), and giving myself crash courses on just about anything that interests me. What I'd like to do for the AIF is support it however I can, whether that be lurking in the server as a number, or getting some actual ground work done. The reason I joined was because of a rabbithole regarding my own identity. Figured out I was transfemme a while ago, which led me to r/transguns, which in turn led me to The Armed Gay Agenda, which in turn led me here via some graffiti. Currently I live in California! If there's anything else you'd like to know within reason, DM me, and I'll talk more.

Hello! I'm new here. I'm currently a student in Indiana, and I joined this server because I'm interested in making a change. I've been watching how this country is descending into fascism and authoritarianism and I'm worried for my future and that of my friends, family, and other people. With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and a surge of anti-LGBTQ legislation, I decided I should at least at least talk to people who also want to make a change. I'm not sure of what use I would be, as I have virtually no qualifications outside of having done some volunteer work. I'm happy to listen and learn and as time goes on I may be able to be of more use. On a more personal note, my hobbies include writing, reading, and playing guitar. I'm a huge music buff, especially when it comes to metal. And I just want to say, thank you for creating this server, I think it's important for more organization to happen, especially online since a lot of people don't have a community of like-minded people near them. (I would also like to add that I am in fact a minor, and if that makes it so I am not able to join I would understand)

We do allow minors because 18 is arbitrary and people under 18 can be just as mature or more so.

@beheadedbats A great way to get into doing concrete work is actually by looking into organizations that do volunteer work. Local Food Not Bombs, mutual aid networks, planned parenthood, feeding the homeless, DSA, racial and social justice groups, etc can all be great ways to network and there's typically a surprising number of more radical lefties involved.

I am a high school graduate who is about to go to college to get a mathematics degree. My hobbies are playing video games, exercising, taking walks in nature, cooking, and studying. I want to find like minded people who share my views of antifascism and anti-authoritarianism. Part of my family moved here due to persecution by the Nazis for their antifascist views. Hans and Sophie Scholl were members of my family. I want to affiliate with the AIF to organize with people near me, using this server to find them. I want to help people in my state through food drives, I want to participate in protests, and I want to educate people. I love the American people, and this love necessitates that I help them and protect them from fascism.

Hello, I'm a 24 year-old college student living in New Jersey. For my personal background, I am currently studying social sciences (yes, that's a major) in college, and am currently not employed. I consider myself to be an avid gamer (strategy and story games especially), and moderate enjoyer of things like books (plus writing) and anime (don't judge me). I also watch a fair amount of YouTube videos, and am surprisingly well caught up on the latest internet memes. I was invited to join American Iron Front by @joe hill’s revenge, and joined in-large part because I agree ideologically with many in AIF more-so than many in most anti-fascist groups (namely the large presence of MLs who often cross dangerously close into tankie territory). I wanted to connect to fellow anti-fascists who shared views closer to mine, and with any luck help connect them into the NJ networks that exist. To this end, I suppose the biggest thing I bring to the table is connection to various organizations. I'm involved in a number of organization in my state like DSA and Progressive Victory, an organizer for these groups in-fact. I'm also heavily involved in local anti-fascist networks, and have grown increasingly frustrated by the lack of pragmatism I see in many other activists (plus ideological differences). I hope to be help around here, and to hopefully connect to a space of people who I more closely align with. I sadly cannot guarantee I'll be the most active, but I will certainly try. That is my introduction, happy to be present.

Not sure, what I want to actually do for the AIF, but I'm eager to be of use. A friend showed told me of the AIF, I saw the subreddit, liked what I saw, found the discord. Decided to join. I hate the rise of fascism and how mobilized its been in my lifetime. Especially as a trans girl currently in the south. I currently reside in Texas, but I'm moving to Oregon in within the next 6 months.

Hi Friends, Nice to be here with you all. I’m 24 years old and currently live in San Francisco. I have a bachelor’s degree in astrophysics, and in my free time I enjoy hiking, reading, and playing music and video games with friends. I work for the Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights and anti-hate non-profit, and the extremism I see every day through my work has shaken me to my core. The MAGA movement has abandoned any pretense of democratic legitimacy, and I am deeply worried about the future of our country. I have experience with Salesforce, Microsoft excel, Python, ChatGPT, and WordPress. I can help with administrative functions and marketing, and believe I could be useful as a liaison between Iron Front and ADL’s Center on Extremism, our research arm that tracks extremist activity in the United States. Currently I am reading Benjamin Carter Hett’s “The Death of Democracy: Hitler’s Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic”, and I find the parallels with our present moment terrifying. I’m glad to have found a group that I believe can make a difference. (edited)

People are allowed to be selective with their info. This discord does not provide much security, that’s up to the chapters in their vetting process. I recommend you to be selective with your info, actually.

If you have security concerns about this account I can't allow it on the server at large. What are your concerns specifically?
11:30 PM
That shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't feel in danger of being doxxed.
11:31 PM
If you are going to be taking direct local action, (depending on the situation) you should use secure encrypted platforms to discuss.
11:35 PM
What I mean is if you are going to be doing counterprotesting, etc. Those are the type of things to discuss off the server.

Hey, I'm Sean. I'm 38 and recently moved to Dayton, Ohio via Baltimore, MD. I was a firefighter/paramedic in Washington, DC for 14 years. I did a fair amount on instructing in the classroom and on the street and have experience with incident command. I was a TECC instructor, but DC unfortunately did not move forward with a department program or a civilian Stop the Bleed campaign, so I never got to teach it anywhere other than when I was field training new medics. On scene trauma care legit saves lives and civilians should be versed in tourniquet application, pressure dressings (that 3" ACE bandage beats any of the commercial stuff), and how to keep people warm. I really like learning and teaching skills, so leftist skill shares would be incredibly rad. I'm here because whoever can organize most effectively will do the best against fascists, and I don't know anyone in Ohio. Nazis just walked armed through Columbus with impunity and the state legislature is stripping citizens rights at the behest of out of state interests, neither of these things I can tolerate really. So, I'm hoping to meet people who are interested in helping out the community and each other because, I gotta say, shit is rough here. I don't know much about organizing but I want to learn and help.

Welcome. I'm in the Ohio group here and we're glad to have you. I personally beleive members of groups like this should aim to have as many possible people trained in first aid and stop the bleed maybe we can work on something together for that.

Iron Front as a whole is non-violent. Chapters and individuals within chapters have their own perspectives on the subject spanning from pacifist to self defense/defense of others only.

I don't think you will find argument from most people here on either of the above. More than a few have stated the same things you have here before... maybe not explicitly the same words, but similar or identical sentiment.

I'm not sure I have any skills that will help. I am working to get my IT cert. I'm 31. I'm a fry cook in an invisible kitchen. High school diploma. In my free time I watch TV, play video games, read, and worship the Gods. I want to help the AIF in any way I can. I joined because I feel like the alt-right, white Christian nationalists, and fascism in general are on the rise and I want to help fight back against it. I feel like not enough people are worried about this when they should be. Just take a look at Florida and my home state, Texas. They're doing whatever they can to suppress the voice of minorities and left-leaning voters. Texas just passed something in the Texas Senate where the state AG can overturn elections in counties with a population larger than 37 million. In other words, Harris County where Houston is. My hometown. Those bastards want to silence us and I'm sick of it. (edited)

Start looking at local activist groups and organizations and seeing what they need and what actions they are taking. Remember that boring work can be very important, not only to make connections, but to create concrete changes. (Look in https://discord.com/channels/990403086675759136/1000883692891295765 for an example I'm working on) (edited)

Relevant skills: Aerial videography (Video by drone), Basic image / photo editing, podcasting and recording, Video editing, 3D Printing, Computer systems / Network security, Search and Rescue. Age 27. Engineer for a company in the Drone delivery space (can't give details as this is a VERY small number of companies right now.) BS in aviation. My hobbies would also probably identify me too easily, but include bookbinding, competitive videogames, and Western martial arts. I want to do whatever is necessary to help move change forward and combat fascism. While I don't have the time to dedicate to organizing a chapter in North Carolina, I would be very willing to lend expertise and time to assist if someone else was willing to head up the project. -Why you joined this server/AIF in general: Got the subreddit info from a post in /r/liberalgunowners and have been looking for a patriotic antifascist organization. -North Carolina, US.

Hey all, I'm Sophia from Colorado. I'm an anarchist, antifascist, sociology major, voluntarily unemployed, and I fuck with A LOT of mutual aid and protest organizing. I'm skilled in social networking, protest organization, mutual aid, writing, and some level of graphic design. I joined because mutual aid, antifascism, and liberation are almost all that matters to me.

Hello. I’m a 19-year-old liberal. If it is acceptable, I’d like to keep my nationality anonymous; I will say that I’ve a strong respect of both the Iron Front in Weimar Germany and the Progressive Era in the US. I’d like to join this discord server out of an interest in political debate and strong anti-authoritarian (i.e. anti-fascist and and anti-“tankism”) leanings. I’m fond of reading and a vexillological dilettante. As for what I’d like to do for the American Iron Front, the main contribution I think I’m capable of making is selling its ideology to as many people as I can. (edited)

As you can tell, my handle is Old Scratch. Im from the state of Georgia. I live close to Atlanta im the north west. Many years ago during my years in middle and the end of my high school sophomore year, I was what I'd categorize as a religious zealot that was homophobic and xenophobic. Luckily I never spoke to a gay person during that time. During the summer after my sophomore year, I had received clarity and enlightenment on just how in the wrong I was and became a new person. Despite all that, I'm happy to say I never in my life agreed or aligned with the ideals of the nazis or white supremacy, so that's good. I never really cared or bothered with politics, but with the extremism occurring and blatant fascism behind dog whistles, it's clear we're in danger. I greatly fear for my married friends and the future that awaits them if nothing is done. They're two lovely women who are married and have a daughter together. I love that kid and worry about what she'll face in the future. Her schools being shot up, bullied because she has two moms, or her parents being harassed or attacked for being gay. This all needs to stop because eventually the fascists will come after me. People who simply don't agree with them and oppose them. Much like that quote that goes like "They came for X but I said nothing because I wasn't X. Now they come for me and no one speaks for me." I'm also a Star Trek fan and I watch not just for the plot or crazy adventures, but the commentaries of what a better world looks like and the allegories for all the problems we still face. We need to fight fascism before it gets too out of hand and I'd like to help however I can. (edited)

Hey, sorry. I’m not used to using Discord for too much. My name is Ry. I’m a 23 year old cis-man. I live in Southern Maryland currently, though, have been planning on possibly moving to West Virginia early next year. I spend a lot of my time writing and have been learning guitar for a few months as a hobby, and am also really into photography. I have a high-quality camera with a couple of lenses to shoot with. I work in retail at a large chain company, but on the ground level as an associate. I’ve been watching and studying the existence of far-right groups since around 2019 when I got really into watching the Q-Anon movement. (I actually predicted that someone was going to vandalize the Georgia Guidestones last year a week before they were bombed, but I guess I can’t directly prove that so take it for what it’s worth.) I kind of could tell the direction things were going in the country politically but didn’t realize how bad it was until about October. I started seeing people espousing Nazi ideas and beliefs all over the fuckin place, including in communities I had (at the time) been a part of. For a a few months I started seeking out and reporting such accounts to the Southern Poverty Law Center, but I have no reason to believe they were even read: much less that anyone was or could have been done about them. That’s what started getting me deeply into learning about antifascism as a form of community defense. I have people who I love who are gay, trans, Jewish, black, Hispanic and otherwise vulnerable. I also have people I love who are VERY susceptible towards being radicalized into action against minorities, should the wrong people get to them first. I myself am white, bisexual, and I was a teen guy during the gamer-gate era. I used to hold some very cringe beliefs about feminism and racial politics, which I regretfully look back on with disgust but am proud to have moved on from.

Dandelion Bodies 5/30/2023 9:35 PM
Fascism is an ideology that preys on the insecurities and fears of exactly the kind of person I was, so I feel some level of responsibility as well to contribute my voice and action against it so other people like how I was might be able to realize the stupidity of it before it grips them in. In far as to what I want to do, I’ll contribute whatever I can. I am limited on resources right now with saving up to move, but if there’s any other projects you think I could help contribute something towards just let me know. Really if nothing else though, I want a way of stepping into community organizing and political action. I don’t want to grow old into a worse world where I did nothing and I feel any level of resistant action I could put up on my own would be so much more effective and safer if I was doing it with others.

Hi I’m KG, and I’m 38 years old. I used to work in the hospitality industry, but now I’m disabled and struggling financially. However, I’m still able to attend protests, make signs, pass out leaflets, etc. I joined this server to connect with like-minded individuals whom I can learn from. Currently there is no Iron Front or any other organization anywhere near where I live on the Delmarva peninsula, in the US. I would like to possibly find and connect with others in the area, because I know they are out there somewhere. They are just too afraid to express their opinions in this highly conservative, right-wing region, so they keep to themselves. I look forward to meeting people here as well.

Howdy. I'm an illustrator & graphic designer by trade, but have been doing "OSINT" for almost twenty years now. Also getting into web/app design & other coding, mostly to help with said research. In the salad-days, me & my (traditional) skinhead buddies used to have to go toe-to-toe with bigoted buttholes at shows & on the street in a large midwestern city. That was almost a quarter century ago. So this is sort of old hat just moved online. Y'all can extrapolate my age from that. I'm ex-US Army, a university grad, and have been an illustrator for the last two decades. Since the mid-00s I've been a bit of an internet sherlock. The guy friends ask to find hard to find information or files online & to factcheck sketchy-sounding stuff. About a decade ago I realized that I could use such skills to more safely keep an eye on WP dickholes online instead of having to put my neck on the line IRL. And there was much more reach & impact than anything I'd done by brawling with some bonehead. Doesn't hurt that I had been so familiar with far-right subculture movements for so long already and can often recognize their dogwhistles and connections from miles away. Yet for OPSEC I've mostly remained anonymous and simply passed off info to friends as well as journalists & experts. So I'm here to help do what I've been doing already for a while... dig up these dingles. At the moment I'm working on a project that profiles & exposes right-wing grifters. So I guess on top of the researching, there's a bit of journalism involved. I'm also hoping to help with graphic design & maybe some web design where need be. (I have a dream of setting up a wiki-esque database that links to every bit of information regarding far-right actors to connect the myriad of dots and have it at activists' & researcher's fingertips) I am also an expat and am either in Germany or in Canada, depending on the season. But leaking septic tanks fuck up the neighbors' yards as well. So here I am.

But I then got busy with my move back to California and getting rid of my nazi ex (it’s a long story) that I sort of fell off the wagon. I want to get involved with aif activities again this time in California. I am a nurse by trade though I haven’t been in a patient care role for a long time.

Howdy strangers, happy 4th! 40 year old transfem genderqueer here, worked for outdoorsy-type retail for a decade. Went in super-left and ostensibly cis, ten years later I still am but I learned to love guns and started transitioning. The combination of which catches some people off-guard! More specifically anti-Republican, I was 18 when the planes hit and saw everything that happened to our country as it happened and we were about helpless to stop it. And that's when I knew which way not to vote. It has only gotten worse. Some college. Self-starter and clever, I dig DIY and frugality and self-sufficiency and see a thing and say I can do that! Whole food plant based diet, cook all my own meals from scratch no added salt sugar oil meat or dairy. Make my own vape juice, etc. I'm fit and healthy and work a boring low level job to pay the bills, and then just sort of do my own thing outside of society.

Firearm owner and 2A proponent, I'm a vulnerable minority, visibly trans in an increasingly hostile environment. I joined this server because I feel isolated, and I want to do more to help, help myself and help others, but I don't know how or where. I do this and that, went to a stop the bleed course recently on the thought of "if I'm prepared to put holes in somebody to save a life, I equally need to know how seal those same holes to save a life." I can see the outline of what I want to learn and do but I haven't still haven't figured out all the steps yet. I've looked around for somebody anybody local, Pink Pistols anyone, and it's like a fucking ghost town, or I don't know where to look, so now I'm looking here. It pisses me off that symbols of my country have been taken on as symbols of hatred, that the American flag strikes fear in people's hearts, in my heart. To that end I stick a finger to the fascists by reclaiming this iconography for my own, a pink and blue american flag shirt, black UA Freedom tee with pink flag and logo, tactical boots with neon pink laces (and stashed handcuff keys). Basically say something and we can have that conversation if you really want. Help me have that conversation. All up in Texas!

Hey, what’s up. I’m HL & I’m in my late 20s. I teach school & I’m looking to go to grad school asap. I enjoy gaming, reading, and sports. My work keeps me busy, so the main thing I can do for AIF right now is join and spread the word about the organization. I joined because another member described your mission. I am interested in the cause, and I want to see the movement grow. I am a decent writer (when I want to be), and I do a lot of what amounts to editing work for my job. I live in the southeast US, so I’ve also developed the ability to talk politics with people who disagree with me in a healthy way.

Hi, you can call me Kodiak. I’m 15, i still have yet to get a job (although I hope to get a summer job when I turn 16). I am currently going through a high school education. I want to spot potential extremist and fascist organizations for the Iron Front, and provide info. I joined this server because many of my beliefs line up with that of the Iron Front. I am from Louisiana. I also do have a little bit of experience with graphic design, so I may be able to make things such as posters and stuff. But yeah, the two things I can provide are designs for posters, and reporting organizations to the iron guard which may be of concern. I can’t do much besides posters and reporting because my parents are a bit strict, and my mom has the guts to search my devices and stuff. Not to mention that they are far-right. But nonetheless, I will try to provide for the Iron front with my experience in graphic design (edited)

-I’m 15, lack a job, and I am currently going through high school (on summer break rn). my hobbies include gaming and stuff like that, but a useful hobby I have is that I like to design flags and propaganda posters -I want to provide for AIF by creating designs for things such as stickers and propaganda posters, since I am experienced in that somewhat. I also want to report potential fascist organizations. Unfortunately, since my parents are quite strict, as well as being far-right, and having no problem with searching the contacts of my devices, that’s kind of all I can do, but nonetheless, I will do my best at it. -Because I believe in the same anti-fascist beliefs as the AIF, and seek to help the fight against extremism. -Louisiana (edited)

I’ve been asked in the past by some people on the r/ironFrontUSA subreddit to join this discord but wasn’t all that familiar with discord and didn’t give it much thought. I want to join AIF to help prevent the fascist state we are moving towards and we need a united left to stop the fascists. I don’t have direct experience working with an organization like AIF.

Hi, I'm 43 and a massage therapist. I have a working knowledge of first aid and CPR. I'm interested in taking Stop the Bleed courses. I don't have any experience organizing. Though I tried to start an Antiracist Action chapter in my young punk days. It never went anywhere do to a lack of interest. I grew up studying martial arts and worked as a bouncer for a short time. Though I haven't trained in a long time. I would be happy to assist with self defense training. I take great pride in my deescalation skills. I'm hoping to find people interested in opposing authoritarianism and learning more about organizing. While there are some good mutual aid groups in my area. There seems to be no one challenging the many racist and nationalist groups here. That's not surprising for Missouri.

Please make sure to correctly format your introduction: Required information: Skills you have that are relevant to the work of AIF (ex. Filmmaking, Graphic Design, Protest Organization) I interpret information, and offer insights.. Sometimes I use the heading "domestic consultant". I'm capable of several technical functions, however don't claim proficiency.. because that would imply that I enjoy doing something all the time. Recommend information: -Quick personal info like age, what you do/did as a job, your education, your hobbies. I'm a cusp born millennial. I just think, and expound on topics I take interest in. -What you want to do for AIF Insights, and boost information evoking decentralized communication. -Why you joined this server/AIF in general. Comrade offered an invite link in signal. -Your location by U.S. state/country (if outside U.S.) Colorado.. the only state that seems interested in trying.

Hello friends, you can call me TrunkTalk, or trunk. (He/him/his) I’m not sure how I should format this introduction, so I’ll just wing it. I am a 29 year old man with 8+ years experience in community organizing. I worked as a Canvas Director for a consumer advocacy and workers rights non profit, as well as a myriad of environmental groups. While I enjoyed this work, I have recently uprooted and moved to Chicago, IL. I love the city, but the move required me to take a job on short notice that I don’t love. (Driving a truck for an anti-union, soul sucking company. Im sure you can guess which one.) I currently lack the outreach and activism that used to be a central pillar of my life. Skills I possess that could be of benefit to the AIF include community outreach and education, fundraising and development, protest/direct action organizing, and most importantly; a good attitude. I joined this server, and found the AIF specifically because I agree with most antifascist ideology, but take issue with the glamorization of authoritarian communist leaders. While I respect groups that have a common enemy, I do not wish to join an organization that reveres the likes of Stalin or Mao. I consider myself a social democrat, through and through. I love my country, and I’m done allowing far right fascists to normalize their presence in my home. I hope to connect with like minded people dedicated to squashing this movement before it gets bigger than it already has. In solidarity, TrunkTalk

Hey all: I'm continually impressed with the depth and variety of experience and skill everyone brings to the effort. Remember:
  • Check the state channels. It makes it easier to hook up and collaborate.
  • If you don't think you have lots of applicable skills, observe, ask questions, learn! Try something, post it, get feedback.
  • Networking is super important. Getting to know your local groups of activists, from political groups like Democratic Socialists of America, to Food Not Bombs, and mutual aid networks, tenant unions, etc. They're all great places to meet like minded people and to organize.
  • This is a hub, and public. If you get into deep planning and/or shenanigans, it's a good idea to set up a secure channel with Element or other software.

Greetings friends and patriots. For all intents and purposes you can call me Harvey (or Harv, whatever you prefer). I’m a cisgendered male (he/him) in my early 30’s currently located in Tennessee. I’ve got a couple associate’s degrees from different colleges, and I currently work as a systems analyst for Tenessee-based company. My hobby, oddly enough, is actually the skill that I believe I can bring to the table for AIF: Intelligence gathering, OSINT specifically. I’m obsessed with information, and am also relatively nosy when I suspect that something is awry. I keep tabs on alt-right/Neo-Nazi groups based in the U.S, as well as monitor social media accounts that dogwhistle to racists and fascists. The primary goal with this is to find interconnected entities in that space; anything I can use to unmask would-be fascists and bring them to justice. I found the AIF at just the right time. I’ve been searching for a community of like-minded individuals that I can provide my skills to, and this group in particular seems like an ideal match. As a veteran it sickens me to see what has happened to the patriotic symbols of this country at the hands of far-right fascists whose only concern is furthering their own agenda at the expense of marginalized groups. I look forward to getting to know the members of this group (within the bounds of good OPSEC, mind you), and helping to further the cause.

Required information: Skills you have that are relevant to the work of AIF: I'll admit I'm not good with filmmaking, but my talents lie in tagging, and moreover music, I feel I can be a useful asset. Recommend information: -i am 18 years old, was forced to drop out of high school, but I know all the back roads and shifty people where I live. -What you want to do for AIF: I want to help spread the word of what you want to do, wether that be by music, or graffiti, but either way, expanding the scope to more countries, more continents, can always work positively. -Why you joined this server/AIF in general. A conversation with a good friend of mine helped me realise that I wanted to do something about the state of the world, and I was recommended this group to help you all, as our goals are equal. -Your location by U.S. state/country: Ireland.

I go by Galactic on discord and Reddit: what I hope to achieve by me being here is a better understanding of my own beliefs and how I can help my community. And how I can best fulfill my civic duties as an American. I'm 26, from North Carolina. I graduated with my Bachelor's in Chemistry and have since taken on a role in an adjacent industry. I know a lot about biotech, medicine, chemical synthesis. I have a great deal more experience and expertise/insight on other topics But that is all I'm comfortable sharing about myself personally at this point. What I want to gain from AIF: better insight into my own beliefs and hearing perspectives from other people on matter that I care about. And how I take these beliefs and help my community and my fellow American in general (edited)
