Michael Coombs (online pseudonyms: Mikemikev,He posted his real name on his Wikipedia account Mikemikev, while also using his real name on his first @Mikemikev Twitter profile. Vekimekim, Antifungal16, Varg88, Johnny Reb, Thinderstruck2, Felicit52636930, Max Triggers, Rupert Smythe, Planktonshoe, Chimpin25 and most recently Chimpin26358843) is a British neo-Nazi and white supremacist internet troll/conspiracy theorist who spends most his time online posting anti-Semitism, Holocaust denial, racism, Islamophobia, and the white genocide conspiracy theory. He is also a climate change denier and anti-vaxxer. Coombs lives a double-life, as he works online as a private English teacher for children and young adults from East Asia but posts racist comments about Chinese people on forums and on social media.Michael Coombs Tutor Profile. Cafetalk.
Coombs is perhaps most infamous for online identity theft, creating fake accounts, and using false identities and impersonations, which results in suspensions and many bans on social media and various other websites.Trolls and impersonators- so other users are warned (May 14, 2020 at 10:16am) Egyptsearch Reloaded (archived from August 10, 2020).Long-term abuse/Mikemikev Wikipedia.Racist Images (Sep 17 2014 08:51 AM) mootstormfront (archived from 29 Dec 2014 15:32:59 UTC). In 2020, Coombs also began impersonating people by creating fake emails using their names (also known as email-spoofing) and harassing them by sending pornographic images.According to a RationalWiki sysop: "Mikemikev (Michael Coombs) has been emailing me inappropriate dick pictures on a fake email. I have had about ten of these from Michael. The guy is clearly not well in the head. I will probably remove my attached email on here, I am tired of Mike's drama and impersonations. Please just block this troll on sight".
He is the former co-founder and administrator of the alt-right conspiracy theory website Rightpedia and an ex-sysop on Metapedia; however, in November 2018, Rightpedia was shut down by their web-hosting provider for obscene imagery of child abuse.Alt right Rightpedia website closed down by GoDaddy for disturbing content. Coombs had uploaded photos of dead children, including mutilated babies; disturbingly, he has also posted he supports child murder. His main online pseudonym is Mikemikev, but since he's been banned from Twitter,mikemikev Twitter (archived pages). Wikipedia,Wikipedia: Sockpuppet Investigations/Mikemikev RationalWiki,Mikemikev sockpuppets RationalWikiWiki (archived from August 13, 2018). and dozens of other websites, he now creates countless sockpuppets using different names. Most disturbingly, as a poster on the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer, Coombs said that he is "sad that not advocating violence has to be the official position of this site"Mikemikev Disqus (archived from 13 Nov 2015 01:42:47 UTC). and has argued, in the ultimate "kill those who disagree" moment, that the killing of Jo Cox was justified due to her pro-immigration politics.Mikemikev Gab (archived from 26 Dec 2017 12:16:51 UTC).
The Southern Poverty Law Center has described Mikemikev as a white nationalist sockpuppeteer for his creation of hundreds of accounts on Wikipedia to vandalise articles and post anti-Semitism.Wikipedia wars: inside the fight against far-right editors, vandals and sock puppets. Coombs is a supporter of the anti-Muslim party For Britain and the far-right British National Party.Coombs posted in 2013 he votes for the BNP, see here, while a blocked RationalWiki sockpuppet of Mikemikev, "BNP member", suggests he's a party member; he has also described Nick Griffin as a "good man", see here, and retweets his support for For Britain and BNP.
In April 2018, an investigation into anti-Semitism on Twitter found Mikemikev to be one "of the most active hard-line British anti-Semites".Profile of REAL British antisemites: right-wing, anti-Corbyn, pro-Brexit, love Daily Mail, hate Muslims too by Tom Pride (10 Apr 2018) Pride's Purge. Shortly afterwards @Mikemikev was permanently suspended for hate-speech, but he has returned there on sockpuppets, such as , and , as of August 2020, , thinderstruck2, Felicit52636930, and most recently Planktonshoe..@TwitterSupport : One of Twitter's worst ever accounts is back.

In January 2019, Coombs was permanently suspended from Encyclopædia Dramatica forum for threatening to murder other users.2018 Faggot of the Year Awards! (voting thread) started by oddguy (Jan 1, 2019) Encyclopædia Dramaatica Forums (archived from 16 Jan 2019 02:58:53 UTC). Aside from making death threats and his deranged racist online behaviour, he has gained notoriety for his controversial views on paedophilia, such as writing he's sexually attracted to "underage girls" as young as 14 or 15 and that he considers this somehow "normal for men". This has led him to be a divisive figure among the far-right, and some websites that share his own neo-Nazi and white nationalism politics have banned him for being a paedophilia apologist.
In January and Feburary 2021, Michael Coombs was reported to Metropolitan Police by academic Adam Rutherford for malicious communications.I really wouldn't bother. This is Michael Coombs, a rabid racist white supremacist who has sent me more than 3000 messages in the last year, from at least 4 different sock puppet accounts, as well as my live events. The police are aware, as at least 2 crimes have been committed. by Adam Rutherford (13:30 - 12. Jan. 2021) Twitter (archived from Janury 12, 2021). Coombs sent Rutherford thousands of abusive tweets on at least 5 different Twitter accounts, including Felicity (@felicit52636930).Do feel free to ignore, block or report my harasser, white nationalist antisemite Michael Coombs who has sent me several thousand messages from at least 4 sock puppet accounts since March. Here’s what he’s tweeted in the last hour by Adam Rutherford (5:02 AM - 5 Jan 2021) Twitter (archived from 9 Jan 2021 01:50:43 UTC).Sadly not a bot, but an obsessive troll - and antisemitic holocaust denier - who has been repeatedly blocked for harassing Adam.

As of November 2022, Coombs has continued to harass Rutherford and other academics on Twitter.https://twitter.com/AdamRutherford/status/1597535242822324224M Coombs also has an unhealthy obsession with interracial pornography and bald men and has created hundreds of sockpuppets with "bald" in the username on multiple online wikis, including RationalWiki.Seriously, don't put any variation of "bald" in your username. This loony has single-handedly driven the "joke" into the ground. Despite Coombs continuing to harass Rutherford, the police report on him came to nothing since he has moved to Germany.Coombs on the website Language Exchange says he lives in Germany. This was confirmed by an IP-check on Wikipedia in May 2021 which showed him using a German IP in the northern Rhine area. Granted, there are numerous VPN services that allow location spoofing nowadays, so this by itself doesn't prove much.

As of 2018, Coombs advertises himself on Japan Free Classifieds as a online English language tutor to Japanese students charging £14 for a session over Skype:
===Double life?===
Arguably Mikemikev lives a double life, since his former employers and Japanese students he charges tuition fees have no idea about his internet activities nor his neo-Nazi views. A member of Kiwi Farms contacted a Korean woman named Ellasy Lee, who had met Coombs in London and discovered he does not mention or promote his racist and white supremacist views off the internet in the real world; Lee describes him as an extremely shy individual and was shocked to learn of his extremist political beliefs:
 Since Coombs studied AI, one could posit that Mikemikev is actually a failed AI experiment run amok; even if true though, it wouldn't make Coombs any less rotten of a person.
===The Science of The Young Ones: Priming===
In September 2010, Mikemikev, then 32 years old, appeared on the BBC documentary The Science of The Young Ones and took part in a psychology experiment, a replication of Bargh, Chen & Burrows' (1996) motor priming.

Coombs later created an anti-Semitic thread on Stormfront inviting white nationalists to vandalise Wikipedia with him:
In 2017, Wikipedia admin Doug Weller complained that Mikemikev had been attacking him off-site.Racist Mikemikev is back (00:56, 22 October 2017) RationalWiki.
He has tons of sockpuppets on Wikipedia and has a long-term abuse report.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Long-term_abuse/Mikemikev
===Metapedia===
Mikemikev was an admin on the far-right wiki Metapedia, but was banned there in 2014 for causing a flame war about the forum Stumble Inn that had also banned him:18 March 2014 Mikemikev: User contributions NatAll75 changed block settings for Mikemikev with an expiry time of infinite] (account creation disabled, e-mail blocked) ‎ (Using Metapedia to start a flame war).

===Rightpedia===
Sometime after getting booted from Metapedia, Mikemikev joined Rightpedia and was made an admin where he used to post anti-Semitic and racist content before the site's deletion.
===RationalWiki===
Mikemikev is definitely a fan of RationalWiki, and showed his love and admiration for us by posting racism, Holocaust denial, and fantasizing about putting other editors “in ditch”.Recall that he is British despite his frequent broken English; make of that what you will. He has been banned from editing since 2014 (His contributions page). He often claims this article that documents his online racism and batshit crazy behaviour is somehow "libel". 
Similar to Wikipedia, Mikemikev has been blocked at RationalWiki on hundreds of sockpuppets that he still makes daily.
==Stormfront==
In 2016, Stormfront put Mikemikev's account on moderation, restricting his posting abilities, after they discovered he once had a South Korean girlfriend:
However, he describes his former mixed-race relationship as a "past crime" and that he now wouldn't date outside his race:
==2020 activity==
Coombs returned to Twitter in 2020 to post death threats, as well as racism and abuse to Nick Lowles, Hope not Hate, and Dr. a British geneticist. His account R2D279247959 with more than 8000 tweets was suspended in June 2020 after various screen name changes, including Ma'am and Karen (pretending to be female@R2D279247959 Twitter (archived from 14 May 2020 13:21:20 UTC).@R2D279247959 Twitter (archived from 28 May 2020 11:24:39 UTC).) and "CEO of Indian race grifters".Michael Coombs aka @mikemikev (suspended) is back as @R2D279247959 by John O'Connell (April 21, 2020) Twitter (archived from 3 Jul 2020 11:39:37 UTC).

The account was suspended and Coombs created another, named thinderstruck2 on 21 August.https://twitter.com/thinderstruck2@thinderstruck2 Twitter (archived from 22 Aug 2020 16:28:47 UTC).

Coombs's Twitter accounts are easy to identify: he follows the same accounts including BNP Bexley, Kevin MacDonald, Ann Coulter and Bo Winegard; furthermore, his new accounts are usually registered within days of his older accounts being suspended. He is also identifiable based on behavior patterns. For example, on thinderstruck2, Coombs has continued to post he wants to execute people.Thry need to be executed soon, unironically by @thinderstruck2 (9:06 AM - 21 Aug 2020) Twitter (archived from 22 Aug 2020 16:37:01 UTC).
