The Daily Stormer

The Daily Stormer (TDS) is a neo-Nazi and white supremacist "news" and commentary webshite founded by Andrew Anglin , which associates with the alt-right(April 1, 2016). Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos rejected by internet Nazis, who really do hate gay Jews. We Hunted the Mammoth. and describes itself as the "Most Censored Publication in History". Despite its similar name, the site is not connected with Stormfront, although both names are likely allusions to the brain-explodingly vile Nazi tabloid which Rightpedia claims is the predecessor of TDS.Der Stürmer Rightpedia (archived from 27 Aug 2016 05:39:45 UTC). 
TDS and its Führer support Russia and its Slavic untermensch glorious leader Vladimir Putin, and endorsed Donald Trump for President.Andrew Anglin: Final Apology for Vladimir Putin by Andrew Anglin (April 12, 2014) The Daily Stormer (archived from August 1, 2016). According to the SPLC, white supremacist endorsement of Trump is unprecedented, as the movement is generally skeptical of all politicians. Anglin also endorsed Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 UK general election, arguing that the Tories weren't hard enough on immigration and Corbyn was anti-globalism.This is Real: I’m Not Joking About Endorsing Jeremy Corbyn by Andrew Anglin (June 7, 2017) Daily Stormer (archived from June 7, 2017).
Despite Anglin claiming to not endorse violence, neo-Nazi members of Daily Stormer, such as Michael Coombs, promote violence against non-whites. Their website features a demographic countdown on their sidebar, which shows a countdown of time remaining until whites allegedly become a minority in the United States (as of January 2021, it is the year 2043) with a bar and graph representing the alleged decline of the white population, and mentions that white people make up 11.5% of the global population. The site is also a cesspit of antisemitic slurs such as goyim ("shekels plz goyim").
==Origins==
The Daily Stormer was launched on July 4, 2013 as a successor to Anglin's Total Fascism blog. However, while Total Fascism was far more in-depth, long-winded, and pseudo-intellectual, the Daily Stormer, modeled after the Nazi Germany publication uses shorter articles, more memes, and a more provocative style intended to appeal to a younger demographic. In short, Anglin seems to think his readership is composed of easily bandwagoned edgelords aged 15 to 25, and the success of the Daily Stormer compared to Total Fascism seems to confirm this view. That pretty much says it all.
Andrew Anglin's father, Greg Anglin, was known to have a Christian counseling center.Christian Counselors Group Insider Pages (archived from August 17, 2019). As of 2017, Greg simultaneously owns two gay bars, while doing gay "conversion therapy" at his counseling center.
The Daily Stormer website itself was originally under Greg's name.Blog Wars: The Daily Stormer and its Racist Frenemies by Heidi Beirich (March 11, 2015) Southern Poverty Law Center. One has to wonder what a Christian's views on the content of the site would be. Greg had "registered The Daily Stormer's trade name and filed paperwork for his son's limited-liability corporation, Moonbase Holdings, a likely reference to a conspiracy theory that Hitler survived World War II by escaping to a secret lunar base". Greg also received donation checks for his son at his office.
==Beliefs==
Andrew Anglin told media and technology company that he was liberal as a youth, and as a teenager he read works by Noam Chomsky and "all that Communist, Jewish stuff". He later studied Buddhism, Islam, and 20th century French philosophers before aligning himself with neo-Nazism. Anglin is very chatty with "Dr." David Duke,Andrew Anglin on The David Duke Show: All the Top Issues! by Andrew Anglin (August 4, 2016). The Daily Stormer (archived from August 4, 2016). and said about his beliefs in 2014, "I'm not certain I want to repeat everything like it was in Hitler's Germany. But I agree with all the core principles of National Socialism." He also appears to have embraced MGTOW ideology, and makes no excuses for his hatred of Aryan women.Reestablishing Masculinity: The Prequel by Andrew Anglin (March 30, 2015). The Daily Stormer (archived from 3 Apr 2015 13:30:05 UTC).
===Pro-white supremacy===
According to The Jewish Chronicle, the Daily Stormer "posts hundreds of racist articles targeting black people, Muslims and Jews".Neo-Nazi gave out internet abuse tips in campaign against Luciana Berger by Marcus Dysch (October 30, 2014) The Jewish Chronicle (archived from October 31, 2014). If you just added gays and Asians, they're spot on:Some newlines removed for space reasons.
It should also be immediately clear how hyperbolic these articles are. Even if the premises were true in each case (they're not), TDS would have proved merely that (1) one Jew ran his business into the ground, (2) some gays have caught meningitis, and (3) the Miss Teen USA pageant is fine with giving the crown to racists. From this, TDS has concluded that Jews, Asians, gays, and African Americans are all degenerate scum unworthy of any respect whatsoever.
===Pro-Trump===
Anglin endorsed Donald Trump for POTUS in 2015, after he had made his controversial comments about all Mexicans being rapists, called to ban all Muslims entering the US, etc.Donald Trump's endorsers still with him after proposed Muslim entry ban by Rebecca Kaplan (December 9, 2015 / 6:00 AM) CBS News. In July 2016, Andrew Anglin and TDS were mentioned by , Democratic Representative from Missouri, as he asked in a congressional hearing whether FBI director James Comey was aware of Trump sharing Twitter posts by white supremacists.Democratic congressman hijacks hearing to ask FBI director about Trump retweeting white supremacists by Allan Smith (Jul 7, 2016, 2:12 PM) Business Insider.
Black Trump supporter Crystal Wright wrote that he needed to separate himself from white nationalists such as TDS, who were endorsing him ahead of other politicians they deemed for holding more liberal positions,The white supremacists flocking to Donald Trump by Crystal Wright (11:21AM BST 25 Sep 2015) The Telegraph although what a deranged neo-Nazi might call "liberal" or "socialist" may be as far from liberalism or socialism as it can get. Al Jazeera writer Malcolm Harris analyzed the endorsement and predicted that a Trump presidency would strengthen organized racist groups and lead to civil war: "I support Trump's disruptive Republican campaign, but he needs to rebuke these racists who gather under the #cuckservative hashtag."Trump's immigration plan is a recipe for civil war by Malcolm Harris (September 8, 2015 2:00AM ET) Al Jazeera America. 
Huffington Post journalist Jessica Schulberg compared how white nationalists like Anglin and former KKK leader David Duke believed Trump to be representative of their ethnic interests, while at the same time several Jews believed him to be representative of theirs.Trump's Neo-Nazi And Jewish Backers Are Both Convinced He's Secretly On Their Side by Jessica Schulberg (05/26/2016 03:54 pm ET Updated May 27, 2016) Huffington Post.
Anglin was not the only white supremacist to have endorsed Trump: former Aryan Nations leader August Kreis III did the same,KKK member sentenced to 50 years for sexually assaulting 3 minors by Matthew Stevens (November 6th 2015) WACH Fox 57. as well as David Duke and a raft of racists, neo-Nazis and anti-Semites from the alt-right and beyond. Anglin also asked for the wife of Ted Cruz to be executed for treason,Andrew Anglin of the Daily Stormer Says Heidi Cruz Should Be Executed by Keegan Hankes (March 24, 2016) Southern Poverty Law Center. despite a disclaimer on his website saying that:
===Pro-Russia===
Despite Hitler having… not-so-positive views of Russians and the Slavic peoples (to say the least),Hitler: Study of a Revolutionary? by Martyn Housden (2000) Routledge. ISBN 0415163595. Page 92. TDS's coverage of world events is ironically dominated by a pro-Kremlin stance. Anglin has praised Vladimir Putin for — amongst many things — "standing up for his people" as a man of "moral principle", being "friendly with the European far-right", and "effectively molding a new theocratic state".Vladimir Putin is a Christian Man by Andrew Anglin (March 11, 2014) The Daily Stormer (archived from 2 Aug 2016 11:19:15 UTC).
TDS offers pro-separatist coverage of the which Anglin considers "the correct moral position". The SPLC described the site as "the newest up and comer in the heated competition to rule the hate web", which "has in the last six months [up to March 2015] often topped the oldest and largest hate site on the web, Stormfront, in terms of reach and page views, based on Alexa data".Blog Wars: The Daily Stormer and its Racist Frenemies by Heidi Beirich (March 11, 2015) Southern Poverty Law Center Anglin claimed in May 2016 that TDS's traffic had doubled over the last six months, peaking at 120,000 daily visitors.
====Supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine====
Unsurprisingly, TDS supports Russia in the Ukrainian war they usually link the Russian propaganda site RT. Anglin claimed that there is disinformation surrounding the Battle of Kiev, he says that the Russian soldiers captured are fake and dressed in Russian soldier costumes, that the atrocities committed by Russia are actually by Ukrainians.The Battle For Kiev is the Silliest War Yet, The Level of Disinformation is Absurd by Andrew Anglin (February 26, 2022) The Daily Stormer (archived from 23 September 2023). 'Elvis Dunderhoff' criticized Pope Francis for kissing the Ukrainian flag, he called him a globalist shill and pro-war who is pro-Azov and pro-torture. Dunderhoff used whataboutism to justify the Russo-Ukrainian war.Watch: Pope Francis Kisses Ukrainian Flag Pulled from the Rubble of Bucha by Elvis Dunderhoff (23 September 2023) The Daily Stormer (archived from 23 September 2023. Anglin posted that Ukrainians are calling for the death of Russians, he uses one Instagram account to represent all Ukrainians, he claimed that Vaush supports the CIA and CIA-trained neo-Nazis killing Russians for some reason.Ukrainian Calls for Cutting Off the Heads of Children in the Donbass by Andrew Anglin (24 April 2022) The Daily Stormer (archived from 23 September 2023). Anglin posted that Ukraine is using bioweapons (specifically tuberculosis) on children; as "evidence" for this he links to an article by RT which claims Ukraine has set up biolabs to kill Russians. He claims RT is a solid source. 
Anglin claims that viruses don't exist. He also believes RT's claims that The Pentagon is torturing Russians.Biolab Horrorshow: Russia Says the Ukraine Released Weaponized TB on Children by Andrew Anglin ( 12 May 2022) The Daily Stormer ( archived from 23 September 2023). Anglin posted that the West knew that Ukraine wasn't capable of any offensive, he links to an RT article to back this bullshit up. According to that RT article, Ukraine was losing the offensive and the West knew it. He said that the Ukraine, no matter how much equipment you give them, cannot win a war against Russia.West Knew the Ukraine Wasn’t Capable of Offensive, Apparently Thought It was Funny Andrew Anglin ( 23 July 2023) The Daily Stormer ( archived from 24 July 2023). Anglin posted that the U.S. is tired of Zelenskyy and that the U.S wants to withdraw the NATO offer of support. Anglin cites a RT article which says that Zelenskyy's criticism of NATO led to Washington being mad at him and considering withdrawing support. he says that there is a Democrat plan to escalate the Russo-Ukrainian War into World War III:
===Members of the Jewish conspiracy===
The following, in the eyes of Anglin, are card-carrying members of the globalist, Zionist, Communist, Jewish conspiracy:

*Bernie SandersJew Bernie to Endorse Terrorist Hillary on Tuesday by Andrew Anglin (July 10, 2016) The Daily Stormer (Archived from August 1, 2016).
===Sexism and East Asian women===
For someone who's ostentatiously a white nationalist, Anglin has a very interesting history with Asian women; he personally views Asians to be alright folksAsian Boy Defends Whites Against Genocide by Andrew Anglin (April 5, 2015) The Daily Stormer (archived from 8 Jul 2015 06:24:06 UTC). (presumably giving them status in his rebuilding of the Third Reich). He filmed a vlog where he was seen prancing around with his "jailbait Filipina girlfriend";Andrew Anglin does the Philippines-Jailbait Style via LiveLeak: the original YouTube upload has been taken down (archived copy). the use of the term "jailbait" here is concerning, as the Philippines is known as a hotbed for child sex tourism, often driven by a sense of subservience to white menThe white male gaze that drives child sex tourism by Fatima Measham (July 26, 2015) Eureka Street 25(14). (archived from September 10, 2015). – i.e., the racialist worldview which Anglin espouses. Anglin has also accused Sargon of Akkad for apparently allowing child rape, because of a video in which – despite all the denunciations of political correctness – Sargon said that the problems over the were not "a Muslim problem", but "a British problem".Why Do I Support Pakistani Child Rape? by Sargon of Akkad (February 16, 2015) YouTube (video no longer available).
The hostility in particular towards women, especially white women, is also quite bizarre. A query on his site for "women" typically reveals barely contained anger that women should have the right to do things like vote#EndWomensSuffrage: Austrian Women Voted Commie, Men Voted Nazi by Anglin, Andrew (May 24, 2016) The Daily Stormer (archived from 2 Aug 2016 21:05:38 UTC).More Definitive Evidence Women Should be Barred from Voting by Anglin, Andrew (March 24, 2016) The Daily Stormer (archived from 2 Aug 2016 21:05:07 UTC).More Evidence That Allowing Women to Vote is Childish and Destructive by Anglin, Andrew (July 27, 2016) The Daily Stormer (archived from 2 Aug 2016 21:05:24 UTC). or have opinions in general.Feminist Chrisella Herzog Says Gamergate is a Neo-Nazi Front and "Hate Speech" is Illegal in America by Andrew Anglin (March 19, 2015) The Daily Stormer (archived from 3 Oct 2015 21:31:29 UTC). He tells his followers, "your worst enemy is not Jews, White Man, but your own females."These are Your Women, White Man – #YesAllWomen by Andrew Anglin (April 12, 2015) The Daily Stormer (archived from 12 Apr 2015 07:12:34 UTC).
The Daily Stormer has promoted the concept of White Sharia, i.e. of women being reduced to the status of property to be beaten and raped. 
Anglin disappeared after a 2017 civil suit by a Jewish woman who alleged that he caused intimidation and emotional distress after he urged his supporters to harass her.Neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin Must Come Out of Hiding, Judge Rules.

=== Antivaxx nonsense===
According to Elvis Dunderhoff, the COVID-19 vaccine is making people magnetic. Dunderhoff links to a bunch of tweets as evidence. Dunderhoff is adamant that the vaccines are used to control people.Vaccinated People Report Coins, Magnets, Forks Sticking to Their Skin Elvis Dunderhoff (June 4 2021) The Daily Stormer (archived on 24 September 2023) "Snake baker" posted that a Pfizer study showed that almost 80% of children past age 12 experienced side effects from COVID-19 vaccines. He cites "Free West Media", a fake news site that says that vaccines have a 0.8% chance of killing people. Snake baker also says transgendered people are "injecting children with sex hormones and mutilating their genitals. He also calls vaccines an "experimental gene therapy."Pfizer Study Says Almost 80% of Children Past Age 12 Experienced Side Effects from Vaccine Snake Baker (May 27, 2021) The Daily Stormer (archived on 24 September 2023)
Anglin claims that "Blue Checks" are just lying about the coronavirus mRNA “vaccine,” by saying "it isn’t gene therapy." According to Anglin, who is an antivaxxer, is "one of one of the only sound and sane voices still allowed in public." He also believes that Jewish journalists and Jewish vaccine doctors are lying about what they are injecting into your body.Blue Checks are Just Lying About the Coronavirus mRNA “Vaccine,” Saying It Isn’t Gene Therapy Andrew Anglin (March 16, 2021) The Daily Stormer (archived on 24 September 2023) Anglin thinks that every country is coercing people into taking the COVID-19 vaccine. He cites a RT article about anti-vaxxer opposition to the Russian vaccine program. Anglin also hates the Philippines for initiating a COVID-19 vaccination program. He looks forward to the supposed deaths that being vaccinated will cause because the world would apparently be a much better place after clearing out the "human garbage."Russian Civil Liberties Watchdog Pushes Back Against Vaxxy Moscow Mayor Andrew Anglin (June 22, 2021) The Daily Stormer (archived on 24 September 2023) Elvis Dunderhoff posted that South Korea is investigating people dying "within days of receiving the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine." Specifically, according to Dunderhoff:
=== COVID-19 denialism ===
Martin Bieber claims that the Spanish media is overexaggerating COVID-19 deaths. Bieber cites a RT article which claims that the actual death rate is one in one thousand and fifty seven.Spain: Media Tries Desperately to Inflate Covid Death Count – To Almost 0.1% of Population! Martin Bieber (July 27, 2020) The Daily Stormer (archived on 25 September 2023) Anglin doesn't trust the WHO's claims that June 22, 2020 had the most COVID-19 infections in a day up to that point, he claims the reason why there were more infections that day than previously is because there was more testing. Anglin also claims that the virus was created to distract the masses from economic collapse WHO Saying They Just had Biggest Corona Infection Day Ever, Doesn’t Note Testing Increase Andrew Anglin (June 22, 2020) The Daily Stormer (archived on 25 September 2023) 
Anglin believes that COVID-19 is a hoax that is going strong in Brazil. He believes the WHO is fabricating the death toll. Anglin is also a proponent of HIV/AIDS denialism, specifically by saying that the death toll from HIV is fabricated as well.Coronavirus Hoax Still Going Strong in Brazil Andrew Anglin (June 3, 2020) The Daily Stormer

"Pomidor Quixote" claims that lockdowns don't work. He also claims lockdowns increased unemployment rates for no reason. According to Quixote COVID-19 is just like the flu, citing the Daily Mail as "evidence" for this. The Daily Fail also claims that lockdowns don't decrease rates of infection (which is obvious bullshit). Quixote also claims that the lockdown is not doing anything to combat the virus and is just destroying people’s lives.Lockdown is Useless and has Almost No Effect on Curbing Spread, Scientists Find Pomidor Quixote (May 8, 2020) The Daily Stormer (archived on 25 September 2023)

=== Climate change denial ===
According to "Snake Baker" science has declared that a billion people will die because of the effects of global warming over the following century. Proceeding to cite Breitbart, he posts an image made by denialists which claims that water vapour is the most important greenhouse gas that apparently accounts for 95% of the greenhouse effect. The image claims that only accounts for 3.6% of the total contribution to the anthropogenic greenhouse effect and that humans emit only 0.33% of carbon dioxide. "Snake Baker" also believes that climate change has many beneficial upsides and will extend the growing season for crops.The Science Declares 1 Billion People Will Die of Global Warming in the Next 100 Years Snake Baker (September 8, 2023) The Daily Stormer (archived on 8 September 2023)
Snake Baker claims that over sixteen hundred academics "including Nobel Prize winners" signed a declaration denouncing climate change as a hoax. Baker cites "The College Fix," which is a fake news site. The College Fix cites Climate Intelligence "which describes itself as an independent foundation that seeks 'to generate knowledge and understanding of the causes and effects of climate change as well as the effects of climate policy." However, Climate Intelligence is actually a climate denialist organization. Snake Baker claims that global warming is caused by the Sun. Baker also believes climate change is a plot to create a One World Government.1600+ Scientists and Scholars, Including Nobel Prize Winners, Sign Declaration Denouncing Climate HoaxSnake Baker (September 26, 2023) The Daily Stormer (archived on 26 September 2023)
Elvis Dunderhoff claims that "the science" is calling public health measures for climate change a "scam." He links to a tweet by "Young Americans for Liberty" that claims that a MSNBC host sat in stunned silence as Vivek Ramaswamy supposedly exposed the climate change scam. Dunderhoff cites an article from The Guardian which says that air pollution measures need to put in place to protect people with respiratory illnesses. Dunderhoff views these measures as "bullshit." He cites tweets by Robin Monotti, a climate change denier. The first tweet says that the IPCC's consensus is false. The second tweet claims that the west uses the supposed "climate change narrative" to hinder vital industrial progress in the developing world. The third tweet claims that climate change is a religion. The fourth tweet claims that "the hypothesis of global warming is falsified by the evidence." The fifth tweet claims the sun causes climate change. The sixth tweet claims that the supposed climate complex is motivated by greed. The seventh and the last tweet claims that the carbon dioxide models are pseudoscience.

===Culture jamming===
The SPLC has documented Anglin's involvement in and encouragement of by making hyperbolic statements in fake online accounts as women and minorities. Anglin has also said that "ridiculous" statements such as "gas the kike", if repeated in media coverage, can work to desensitize the public to the Holocaust. In late 2015, during Anglin began a hoax of a campus Ku Klux Klan rally and claimed victory when the rumor spread.

===Rape===
Despite constantly claiming to be against rape and even devoting a whole section decrying it as terrible, the site is in fact only against non-white folk doing the raping, and holds a double standard where pale-skinned people like them are concerned. 
In May 2017, TDS published an article complaining about attempts to prohibit stealthing, an act in which a condom is secretly removed during sex so as to forcefully impregnate women. The article defiantly encouraged white men to continue doing this to women and blackmailing them to give birth, all in the name of staving off white genocide.Daily Stormer to white dudes: Slip your condoms off to impregnate white women against their will! (May 19, 2017) We Hunted the Mammoth.
TDS's response to the COVID-19 pandemic included a nonsensical post-apocalyptic fantasy written by Anglin on April 18, 2020, which seems to combine the racist war bullshit found in xenophobic novels such as with the poorly-written, sexist, masturbatory S&M fantasies found in a Chronicles of Gor novel. In this scenario, citing pro-slavery sections of the Bible, Anglin envisions the coronavirus bringing society collapse, followed by a new mode of existence being called for where "Aryan rape gangs" are needed to enslave white women into "sexual slavery" for white "breeding farms" in order to build up an army for an upcoming "generational war against the Mexicans". (Anglin is happy to point out that he isn't as picky as the Bible is on the requirement of virginity for his sex slaves.) Of course, to quote Anglin, "the prettiness and number of sexual slaves that are given to a man will depend on his contributions to the group", because that's the way he wants it in his fantasy. Helpfully to show where his mind is wandering, Anglin (who thinks his strange fantasy, with the deaths, rapes, Mexican cartels, sex slaves, breeding farms and whatnot, is like an "awesome video game") illustrated the article with pictures of Princess Teegra, a protagonist from the vaguely titillating,"Fire And Ice Review" by Dan Jolin, Empire, 2006 Nov 17 kind of dumb"Time Out London: Review, Fire and Ice" 1983 animated sword-and-sorcery film ."Rape Gangs, Sex Slavery and Breeding Farms: Everything You Always Wanted to Know (But Were Afraid to Ask)" by Andrew Anglin, Daily Stormer, 2020 April 18
===Style guide: tactics and strategy revealed===
In September 2017, a disgruntled Vox Day posted hand-typed excerpts from The Daily Stormer's style guide.The "Andrew Anglin" style guide (September 06, 2017) Vox Populi (archived from September9, 2017). Day's ire for posting this was apparently because he was stood up for ("cucked") a debate by Anglin, fueled by mutual big-dicking over who has more followers. The excerpts quoted indicate that the guide went far beyond simple formatting and grammar and went into tactics and mindset. That December, the Huffington Post released the complete 17-page guide obtained from an IRC channel hosted by Auernheimer, where he was soliciting new writers.This Is The Daily Stormer's Playbook: A leaked style guide reveals they're Nazis about grammar (and about Jews). by Ashley Feinberg (12/13/2017 04:00 pm ET Updated Dec 13, 2017) Huffington Post. The payment per accepted article is a chintzy $14.88.
====Tactics====
The key tactical points of the style guide are:
*The target audience is 8th-grade vocabulary reading ability. "The use of 'college words' is extremely discouraged."The Daily Stormer style guide Document Cloud. 
*TDS encourages block-quoting mainstream media for several reasons, including:
**Co-optation of "the perceived authority of the mainstream media"
**Commenting on existing news reduces the risk of being accused of being fake news or being delisted from Facebook (that worked for a while anyway).
**"It serves to break-up the text in a way that is appealing to the ADHD demographic we are targeting."
**Sources for quotation can be anything, but more concise sources (presumably again aiming at a non-college educated audience). "RT and Breitbart have the benefit of being closer to our own spin on many issues…"
*TDS was modeled after the now-defunct 
*Pages should include as much visual stimulation as possible to "appeal to the ADHD culture".
*Specific advice on profanity and slurs
====Strategy====
The strategy section is called "Morals and Dogma".
*"The goal is to continually repeat the same points, over and over and over and over again."
*"The basic propaganda doctrine of the site is based on Hitler's doctrine of war propaganda outlined in Mein Kampf, Volume I, Chapter VI."
*TDS instructs that Jews should always be blamed for everything negative: the entire worldview of TDS is the international Jewish conspiracy.
:Ironically, Jews can also be blamed for the tactics of TDS because Anglin recommends reading Saul Alinsky's book Rules for Radicals.
*The use of joking/not-joking and self-mockery is a strategic ploy to draw people in, but Anglin actually does want to kill Jews in real life:
Anglin explains this by saying, "This isn't being dishonest. It is just acknowledging the practical reality that people cannot, as a rule, handle having doubt in their minds."
*Anglin then explains this by giving examples of who to attack and who not to attack:
**Attack Marine Le Pen: "She is better than the alternatives but she is also a dumb bitch, attacking her own father for relatively benign statements about kikes."
**Attack Viktor Orban: "He refuses to walk away from the EU, or even threaten to. And in Hungary, there actually is a much more hardcore option in the nationalist Jobbik party."
**Always attack Jews.
**Never attack other white nationalists: "there should never be any criticism of other white activists, even faggots we all fucking hate."
**Attack the alt-lite
*All publicity is good publicity.
*There's no such thing as too much hyperbole.
*Tacit support for violence via "accelerationism" and boogaloo: "It's illegal to promote violence on the Internet. At the same time, it's totally important to normalize the acceptance of violence as an eventuality/inevitability." Examples:
**"Anders Breivik should be forever referred to as a heroic freedom fighter. This is great because people think you must be joking."
**"Dylann Roof I have labeled 'DyRo,' and though I offer explanations for what he did, I never condemn him. I also think it is very funny to say that he was simply defending himself when he was attacked in a church by black mamies trying to steal his iPhone. That sort of silly humor really bites at the Jew 'pure evil' narrative."
====Trolling====
The targets of TDS trolling falls into four categories:
#Minor public figures, particularly women or Jews who are journalists, bloggers, or politicians
#Pressuring "conservative" media figures. The examples given are all members of the alt-right, who aren't Nazi enough for Anglin's taste:
#*Attacking Alex Jones with "Operation: Jew Wife", based on Jones' now-ex-wife having a Jewish grandfatherNYT exposes that my ex, Alex Jones' defense team includes the firm that represents the Neo Nazi Daily Stormer. My grandfather was Jewish which Alex used to say I'm Jewish, he isnt racist. I've get Jew gas chamber comments, threats. by Kelly Jones (4:15 AM - 3 Jul 2018) Twitter (archived from 2 Mar 2020 20:27:47 UTC). Notably, Alex Jones and TDS have used the same lawyers.
#*Piss fighting with Gavin McInnes: Anglin claims that McInnes "now spends huge amounts of time talking about Nazis, and trying to explain why he likes Jews."
#*Milo Yiannopoulos
#Assigning (unfounded) racist motivation to celebrities: targets included Tom Hanks and Taylor Swift
#Praising companies that support racism
==Publicity==
TDS attracted media coverage when the SPLC stated that white supremacist spree killer —who on June 17, 2015, shot nine African Americans to death in the —may have made several comments on the site. The SPLC found similarities between one user's comments and Roof's manifesto.Dylann Roof's manifesto resembles comments on neo-Nazi website, analysis finds by Kurtis Lee (June 22, 2015) Los Angeles Times. The Daily Beast stated that Anglin "repudiated Roof's crime and publicly disavowed violence, while endorsing many of Roof's views". In October, Anglin gave a positive reaction to an attempted assassination on a candidate for mayor of Cologne, Germany, decrying her as a "feminist hag".Thomas Mair, BREXIT, and the US-UK neo-Nazi Connection: Although illegal in Europe, inciting racial hatred is constitutionally protected speech and a lucrative cottage industry in the United States. by Heidi Beirich (June 21, 2016) Southern Poverty Law Center.
==Criticism from white nationalists==
The SPLC has stated that white nationalist websites have taken issue with what they see as low-brow coverage on TDS, as well as Anglin's defense of Christianity and denouncement of the white supremacist sect Christian Identity. Others, such as the , have praised TDS for its reach and influence.
Colin Liddell of AlternativeRight.com has criticized Anglin's beliefs and tone. Liddell, who believes that stopping migration and encouraging higher birthrates is more important for preserving the white race, condemned Anglin for writing that it was impossible for the race to survive without adopting his views on Jews, Hitler and the Holocaust. Liddell considered that Anglin was attracting poor whites with his provocative online persona in the same manner as monster trucks and professional wrestling, writing that "it is hard not to conclude that Anglin is a paid shill and agent provocateur, whose purpose is simply to infest and discredit White nationalism". Jared Taylor of American Renaissance criticized TDS's "extremely harsh, dismissive and insulting tone toward blacks", which he called unhelpful.
==The Decline and…==
In an angry rant posted on February 3, 2020, Anglin claimed that he "gave 30 day notices to most of the staff" of the Daily Stormer because "fewer than 60 of you decided to send money for a total of less than $5,000" during a fundraising campaign (an amount which hardly covered costs). He then questioned whether the site would continue to run in the future due to the lack of support. Apparently he's figuring out that the audience of people who actually give a shit about his racist agenda of "telling the truth about the Jews and attempting to save white people" is very small indeed.We're Laying Off Staff Because You Didn't Send Money by Andrew Anglin (2020 February 3) The Daily Stormer (archived from 2020 February 4).
==…Promotion by Twitter==
After Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter in October 2022, Musk decided to reinstate virtually all banned users in November 2022, demonstrating Musk's belief in free speech absolutism.Surging Twitter antisemitism unites fringe, encourages violence, officials say: Online comments often lead to real-world actions, social media experts warn by Joseph Menn (December 3, 2022 at 7:00 a.m. EST) The Washington Post. In December 2022, Anglin's account was reinstated, a decade after it had been banned.
