Not sure if the thing about IE's dues is a mistake, deliberate misinformation or if he's just memeing

Read 2 tweets down.

@martin he's actually an alright dude. Talked to him over Twitter quite a bit since the whole TWP thing.

He's pretty on board with how IE does things and the path IE is taking forward. He was only in TWP a few weeks before the Heimbach crap happened. Seems smart enough. I think he may be a good addition to IE one day.

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL yeah, I saw that a little bit after I posted, I should have clarified quicker.

@Erika oh, ok. I thought I had seen some countersignalling recently, perhaps I confused him with another account

Nah, he's alright. Even if people are disagreeing with whatever we're doing, fine, let them. Our actions are leading to results that are setting us apart from the rest.

If any TWP dudes eventually want to join IE it would have to be an extensive interview process. Their hearts may be in the right place sometimes but we do not need any of their mud on us.

@Erika can you get him to take IE off his profile? I'm trying to engage him politely but conversation hit a bit of a lull.

It would be awkward if I brought it up right now. I just don't want some guy with IE in his bio promoting Eric Strikers room-temp iq takes.

I'll talk to him.

@everyone

This is our former Oregon coordinator. I need you to mass report this -- we don't want to be associated with militant rhetoric.

Yikes

Report as what ?

"This photo shouldn't be on Instagram"

Hate speech.

God I hated that kid

Have you tried asking to take it down?

@The Soy Goy he blocked me and deleted my comment when I did

Ok gotcha

Yes, please do

Former as of now? Or has been out for a while?

Been out

Didn't he disavow us and take an Africa trip?

Yeah lol @Jacob

He was cringe af

Probably should talk about this in general though

@Brunswick Ask in general please

My fault for starting it here. Let's not crowd it, though.

If anyone wants to be in Ian's cyberstrike server you can use this link. Lots of productive stuff going on in there.

"Hate speech" report for that photo comes back negative. Instagram won't take it down if we choose that reason.

Gotta admit this is a little ironic

Yeah, it is. I don't like censoring others any more than the next guy, but we really really need to protect our brand if we ever want to make it out of the WN ghetto.

At this point the kid knows what he's doing. He's been out of IE for a while. Consider it purposeful defamation (or at the most charitable extreme disregard for our requests)

We're an explicitly nonviolent organization, and we never bring firearms to activism. One of the reasons why IE created some space for itself and away from the 'alt right' (whatever that means, at this point) is that exact reason. We're not going to allow others to bring our organization down with that.

Looks like the photo has been taken down.

well done guys

Very nice!

A zero tolerance policy for weaponposting, military larping, and discussing violent or illegal activity is necessary to avoid unstable individuals and federal agents/informants.

Matt Hale’s story is one of many examples why. Unbeknownst to Matt, one of his closest guys was a federal informant making 50k a year. This informant kept telling Matt that he wanted to murder a judge. Matt repeatedly told him no, but eventually he just said “fine, whatever” to get him to shut up. For that comment, Matt will be in prison for decades.

Organizations like Vanguard and Patriot Front are putting themselves at serious risk by allowing the discussion of the aforementioned topics—we are not, because we declare them off limits and expect our members to adhere to our rules.

@everyone

Told him 'now'?

No*
