UPDATE: a spokesperson from JP Morgan Chase told the Texas Observer they fired the operator of a neo-Nazi X account who we identified as their employee.

"This person is no longer at the firm. We do not tolerate hate in any form and take incidents such as this very seriously."

Anonymity has long been a tactic used by extremists to spread their ideology while avoiding social consequences, from Klansmen hoods to online pseudonyms.

🇨🇦 👋 40 Ways to Fight the Far-Right: In Canada

This guide offers ideas for people of all backgrounds, identities, and skill levels. While we encourage people to show up in person, there are also many options for people who aren’t able to do that.

Together, these actions present a variety of tactics which raise the cost of participation in far-right movements and, we believe, will keep communities safer.

Our most-read story of 2025:

Three years ago, our reporter received an envelope with no return address.

Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams.

A little advice from someone studying extremist groups: if you’re in a social media environment where the daily ubiquitous message is that you have no hope of any kind of future and you can’t possibly achieve anything without a violent overthrow of society, you’re being radicalized, and not in the good way.

User embervoices reblogs, Dec 10, 2023.

If the solution to your problems sounds like "we need a blank slate" it's a lie. There are no blank slates, and the closest approximation people can generally imagine is "burn it all down and let God/fate/history sort it out".

That's not problem solving. It's barely catharsis, in practice. It doesn't just create more problems than it solves, it destroys more solutions than it creates.

Put the apocalypse down, and back away slowly.

Real solutions to complex, systemic problems are not so easily reduced to "us good, them evil; kill them." — Tumblr screenshot. User brainstatic, Nov 25, 2018.
