===Use of pseudonym===
Matthew Frost uses the pseudonym Matthew Archer (and Matt Archer) to hide his real world identity.
==Aporia Magazine==
Described as "a young, good-looking, well-spoken Cambridge graduate",https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/tv/2024/10/undercover-exposing-the-far-right-reveals-a-vile-network-of-pathetic-fascists Frost has tried to modernise the image of white nationalism similar to Richard Spencer by appearing well-dressed, university educated with an upper-middle-class background. Frost has an elitist-mindset and has stated his target audience with Aporia is billionaires, entrepreneurs and academics opposed to "normies". A strategy Frost has pursued is legitimacy by association by getting figures revered in the alt-right and HBD-sphere to write for Aporia or be interviewed on its podcast; examples include Charles Murray author of The Bell Curve (whom Frost has described as his "intellectual hero"), Edward Dutton, Razib Khan, Christopher Rufo (senior fellow of the Manhattan Institute), the anthropologist Peter Frost and psychologists Russell T. Warne, Helmuth Nyborg and J. Michael Bailey.See list of Aporia's writers here and podcast speakers list here. 
Frost in 2023 realised that Aporia is an echo-chamber with no opposing points of view but as a publication trick he began to publish content in a "debate-style format so that it doesn’t look too one-sided." He unsuccessfully invited a few people with left-leaning politics to write articles but none took up his offer considering the magazine is a cesspool of racism. An invitation was rejected on these grounds by the British geneticist Adam Rutherford who did not want to be associated with Frost.https://archive.is/e7iDQ Rutherford has since remarked:
Aporia seems to have given up its pretense that it was attracting different viewpoints. In November 2023, its executive editor, Bo Winegard published articles openly supporting "white identity politics"https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/should-whites-embrace-white-identity and in May 2024, its podcast allowed Jared Taylor to claim "There is no possibility of blacks and whites living peacefully together." A few months afterwards, Frost published an article saying he was leaving Aporia. Despite claiming he had quit, Frost in October 2024 was still the admin of Aporia's Telegram chat. Frost has also stated he will continue to "write the occasional piece and host meet-ups" for Aporia. As of November 2024, Frost continues to be a mutual follower of the official Aporia X account and follows the Aporia podcast host Diana Fleischman. It is clear he retains strong links to Aporia despite misleadingly claiming he was leaving.
==Attendance at far-right meetings==
Frost attended the neo-Nazi Guide to Kulchur conference in Tallin, Estonia in May 2023. Other attendees were Emil Kirkegaard, Edward Dutton, and Helmuth Nyborg who appeared in a photo together (possibly taken by Frost). Among speakers at the event were Holocaust denier Mark Weber who is affiliated with the Institute for Historical Review, white nationalist Frodi Midjord and Jared Taylor.https://irehr.org/2023/05/09/mark-weber-jared-taylor-off-to-estonia-for-conference/
According to Hope not Hate:
In December 2023, Archer attended a Christmas dinner event with Edward Dutton that was advertised on his Neo Byzantium website.15th December, London Christmas Dinner. neo-byzantium.com.
In July 2024, Frost hosted for Aporia a debate between Nathan Cofnas and Eric Kaufmann on "the necessary conditions for ending the woke revolution."https://ncofnas.com/p/victory-without-a-hereditarian-revolutionhttps://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/cofnas-vs-kaufmann-in-london-extremely Among attendees were the far-right activists Anatoly Karlin and Claire Khaw; the latter took photos of herself next to Nazi flags and was suspended from the British National Party for being too extreme.https://samedifference1.com/2011/07/01/claire-khaw-suspended-by-bnp/https://hopenothate.org.uk/2012/03/26/the-odd-couple-2/
==Views and ideology==
===Remigration===
Frost supports repatriating non-White immigrants in European countries to their non-European countries of origin and favours "remigration" for even second and third-generation descendants of immigrants. Hope not Hate exposed him in private (by covert recordings) as holding these hardcore white nationalist beliefs and associating with Erik Ahrens who is active in the AfD:
In another secret recording, Frost was heard saying he favours repatriation by paying immigrants to leave Germany and using battleships to carry out deportations:
===Racism and eugenics===
Frost has described Palestinians as having on average an IQ "close to the borderline of mental disability." He further said: “They can’t be reasoned with, you can’t educate them.” According to Hope not Hate Frost has "adopted a strategy perfected by the scientific racism movement. It hid its racist ideas under layers of statistics and jargon to give the semblance of academic rigour — but were in fact misinterpretations, misrepresentations, and manipulations of science."
His X account under his alias Matthew Archer contains racist and offensive tweets. Frost openly espouses ethnic nationalist viewshttps://archive.is/xNgHlhttps://archive.is/1iv47https://archive.is/7GXWU and has written:
Frost is an outspoken eugenicist and is close friends with Jonathan Anomaly the founder of the biotech-eugenics company PolygenX. In April 2024, Frost organised an Aporia "London Meet-Up" with Anomaly.https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/aporia-london-meet-up-april-18th Frost interviewed white supremacist and eugenicist Richard Lynn and made a post sympathising with his views.https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/the-dissident-psychologist
===Pro-natalism===
Frost supports pro-natalism and increasing "native fertility" in European countries.https://archive.is/0wBlkhttps://archive.is/kgMzh He took credit for promoting an Aporia article titled “The West’s Fertility Crisis” to the Conservative MP Neil O’Brien.
===Spiteful mutant hypothesis===
In February 2024, Frost co-authored an article on Aporia supporting the pseudoscientific spiteful mutant hypothesis, arguing:
===Neo Byzantium===
As part of Hope not Hate's investigation into Frost, he was exposed as having co-founded a neo-Nazi cult named Neo Byzantium influenced as a business model by the misogynist Andrew Tate:
Neo Byzantium was modelled on the Waffen-SS and wants to train its secret members in armed and unarmed combat.
The Neo Byzantium website operated by Frost (now deleted) offered meet ups with Edward Dutton for £25.16th December, Liverpool Ed Dutton Meet-Up. neo-byzantium.com. Their Christmas dinner cost £245 per person.
==Politics==
Frost endorsed Donald Trump in the 2024 US presidential election and has made a tweet supportive of Trump's election win:
He is a supporter of the extremist wing of the Alternative for Germany party and supports the AfD adopting policies.
==Undercover: Exposing the Far Right==
Hope not Hate's undercover investigation into Frost, Aporia and the Human Diversity Foundation was broadcast on Channel 4 on 21 October 2024.https://www.channel4.com/programmes/undercover-exposing-the-far-right The investigation exposed the manipulative tactics of Frost's neo-Nazi cult to prey on lonely vulnerable teenagers and to radicalise them. It was revealed that Frost is a highly deceptive individual who in private holds extreme right beliefs such as "remigration" of immigrants but in public presents himself as holding more moderate views. This tactic is commonly used by the far-right such as Martin Sellner's Generation Identity and Nick Griffin's British National Party.
