The Republican Party has a neo-Nazi problem.
This is not slander or pejorative or innuendo; it is the plain truth of the matter, a conclusion drawn from simple observation. And the problem has been getting worse.

Man, what an absolute rabbit-hole this turned out to be. This comment from a lobste.rs post seems to have a timeline of the whole ordeal. This seems to be the blog post that kicked everything off. Calling that doxxing strikes me as making a mountain out a molehill. The blog author found some names attached to domain registration (if the registering individual didn’t want those public then they should’ve enable domain privacy), inferred the archive.is site admin’s location to maybe Germany, maybe Eastern Europe, maybe Russia (based on publicly accessible forum posts), noted that it’s a one-man show that can’t possibly cover its own costs and may not exist in the future, and even offered to support the archive.is admin:
And for that the archive.is admin changed their site to hijack visitors into a DDOS botnet against the blog site. That is some crazy work.
Archive.is came out of gamergate as a tool to enable kicking women out of video game journalism. It’s not shocking that the person who controls it behaves badly. They’re also by far and away the most reliable way to hand out a paywall bypass. Which completely stinks
