The Right Stuff is a neo-Nazi [1] [2] [3] and white nationalist [4] blog and discussion forum and the host of several podcasts, including The Daily Shoah. Founded by American neo-Nazi Mike Enoch, the website promotes Holocaust denial, [5] and coined the use of "echoes", an antisemitic marker that uses triple parentheses around names to identify Jewish people. [6] [7] [8]
The site promotes white supremacy, [9] neo-Nazism, [1] antisemitism, Holocaust denial, and the white genocide conspiracy theory. [4] It cites the work of Kevin B. MacDonald, a former professor of psychology and antisemitic conspiracy theorist, known for claiming there is a Jewish plot to control the world to undermine the interest of white people. [10]
Much of The Right Stuff's content is devoted to Holocaust denial, including denying the Nazi's genocidal policies against Poles, Russians, and other Slavic peoples, known by neo-Nazis as "untermenschen". To justify their denial of Nazi atrocities, contributors to The Right Stuff promote the conspiracy theory that the documentary record establishing those genocides was forged by unspecified Jewish people or agents of Jews. [5]
In December 2012, The Right Stuff described itself as "a political and cultural blog" which aimed to unite the "alt-right" and to troll liberals and progressives. [11] [ non-primary source needed ] Over time, its podcasts became more radical, and the blog adopted a conspiratorial neo-Nazi ideology. [12] The blog eventually developed a lexicon, defining jargon used by its publications and the wider alt-right movement. [13]
The website achieved general notoriety through its promotion of the triple parentheses or (((echo))). In 2014, The Daily Shoah began to use a distortion effect when the names of Jewish people were mentioned during a segment called the "Merchant Minute". The meme was adapted to text through the use of parentheses, and in the summer of 2016, it became known through a New York Times column on the topic. [14] The Right Stuff was also one of the earliest websites to make use of the term "cuckservative". [9] [15]
The blog was an early proponent of the propaganda film With Open Gates , which attacks multiculturalism and Middle Eastern refugees in Europe and promotes the conspiracy theory that Jews are transporting refugees to harm white people. [16] [17]
The blog has seen a steady decline from its peak in 2017. In September 2021, a Southern Poverty Law Center report found that the website had declined in traffic by 87.5% since February 2017, coinciding with a decline in the total number of cast members appearing on The Daily Shoah. In February 2019, The Right Stuff founder Mike Enoch responded to a data subpoena related to the Sines v. Kessler civil lawsuit by stating that TRS had "lost regular listeners", and that many users had "cancelled their accounts and stopped visiting the site". [18]
In early 2017, Mike Enoch was doxed by fellow neo-Nazis, who revealed that his real name was Mike Peinovich. They also released biographical information which they believe contradicts his professed ideology. [19] [20] The dox revealed that Enoch's wife was Jewish and that their wedding had featured traditional Jewish rites and chanting. Enoch was mocked by other neo-Nazis for his Serbian surname; historically, Nazi Germany had classified Serbs as a subhuman race and the Croatian Ustaše puppet regime had perpetrated a genocide of Serbs. [5]
After the doxing, some of Enoch's followers reacted angrily to the information that had been revealed. They circulated forged images of him and his wife which derided their ethnicities. [1] Salon journalist Matthew Sheffield posited that Neo-Nazi podcast listeners speculated that Enoch was Jewish, "controlled opposition", or otherwise disingenuous in his beliefs. [19]
Alex McNabb is a former emergency medical technician (EMT) who appeared on The Daily Shoah under the pseudonym "Dr. Narcan". He was fired from his job as an EMT after racist comments that he had made on The Daily Shoah came to light, including comparing black patients to animals and claiming to have tortured a young black boy using a catheter needle.

The National Justice Party (NJP) was an antisemitic white supremacist political organization in the United States [4] that promoted neo-Nazism. [25] It was not a registered party for purposes of electoral politics. [27]
The Right Stuff announced the National Justice Party in August 2020, to be led by Mike Enoch, with a platform based upon the white genocide conspiracy theory. The party platform also incorporated antisemitic elements, such as calling for mandatory employment discrimination to prevent Jews from working in "vital institutions". [27] [28] The chairmen of the party included several prominent white supremacist and alt-right figures, including Joseph Jordan (also known as Eric Striker), Tony Hovater, Michael McKevitt, Gregory Conte, Warren Balogh, and former member of the neo-Nazi National Alliance, Alan Balogh.
NJP held its inaugural event in Millersville Pike just outside Lancaster, Pennsylvania. [24] NJP also hosted a meeting in response to the January 6 United States Capitol attack. [27] On July 24, 2021, NJP hosted its fifth party event in the Midwest and released a full-length documentary about the event. [27] NJP members had also organized gatherings in Ohio, Wisconsin, and North Dakota to protest what they claim are "anti-white" killings involving black suspects. [29]
NJP was also connected to Antelope Hill Publishing, which publishes books by Nazis and fascists and sells those books at NJP events and on the internet. [30] In early 2024, their website's SSL certificate expired, leaving the website inaccessible. [31]
The Zionist occupation government, Zionist occupational government or Zionist-occupied government (ZOG), sometimes also called the Jewish occupational government (JOG), is an antisemitic conspiracy theory claiming that Jews secretly control the governments of Western states. It is a contemporary variation on the centuries-old belief in an international Jewish conspiracy. According to believers, a secret Zionist organization actively controls international banks, and through them governments, to conspire against white, Christian, or Islamic interests.
"The Fourteen Words" is a reference to two slogans originated by the American domestic terrorist David Eden Lane, one of nine founding members of the defunct white supremacist terrorist organization The Order, and are accompanied by Lane's "88 Precepts". The slogans have served as a rallying cry for militant white nationalists internationally.
The National Policy Institute (NPI) was a white supremacist think tank and lobbying group based in Alexandria, Virginia. It lobbied for white supremacists and the alt-right. Its president was Richard B. Spencer.
This is a list of topics related to racism:
Richard Bertrand Spencer is an American political commentator mostly known for his neo-Nazi, antisemitic and white supremacist views. Spencer claimed to have coined the term "alt-right" and was the most prominent advocate of the alt-right movement from its earliest days. He advocates for the reconstitution of the European Union into a white racial empire, which he believes will replace the diverse European ethnic identities with one homogeneous "White identity".
The Daily Stormer is an American far-right, neo-Nazi, white supremacist, misogynist, Islamophobic, antisemitic, and Holocaust denial commentary and message board website that advocates for a second genocide of Jews. It is part of the alt-right movement. Its editor, Andrew Anglin, founded the outlet on July 4, 2013, as a faster-paced replacement for his previous website Total Fascism, which had focused on his own long-form essays on fascism, race, and antisemitic conspiracy theories. In contrast, The Daily Stormer relies heavily on quoted material with exaggerated headlines.
The white genocide, white extinction, or white replacement conspiracy theory is a white nationalist conspiracy theory that claims there is a deliberate plot to cause the extinction of white people through forced assimilation, mass immigration, or violent genocide. It purports that this goal is advanced through the promotion of miscegenation, interracial marriage, mass non-white immigration, racial integration, low fertility rates, abortion, pornography, LGBT identities, governmental land-confiscation from whites, organised violence, and eliminationism in majority white countries. Under some theories, Black people, Hispanics, and Muslims are blamed for the secret plot, but usually as more fertile immigrants, invaders, or violent aggressors, rather than as the masterminds. A related, but distinct, conspiracy theory is the Great Replacement theory.
The Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP) was a neo-Nazi political party active in the United States between 2013 and 2018, affiliated with the broader "alt-right" movement that became active within the U.S. during the 2010s. It was considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center's list.
The alt-right is a far-right, white nationalist movement. A largely online phenomenon, the alt-right originated in the United States during the late 2000s before increasing in popularity and establishing a presence in other countries during the mid-2010s, and has been declining since 2017. The term is ill-defined and has been used in different ways by academics, journalists, media commentators, and alt-right members themselves.
Triple parentheses or triple brackets, or an echo, often referred to in print as an ( ), are an antisemitic symbol that has been used to highlight the names of individuals thought to be Jews, and the names of organizations thought to be owned by Jews. This use of the symbol originated from the alt-right-affiliated, neo-Nazi blog The Right Stuff, whose editors said that the symbol refers to the historic actions of Jews which have caused their surnames to "echo throughout history". The triple parentheses have been adopted as an online stigma by antisemites, neo-Nazis, browsers of the "Politically Incorrect" board on 4chan, and white nationalists to identify individuals of Jewish background as targets for online harassment, such as Jewish political journalists critical of Donald Trump during his 2016 election campaign.
Identity Evropa was an American far-right, neo-Nazi, neo-Fascist, and white supremacist organization established in March 2016. It was rebranded as the American Identity Movement in March 2019. In November 2020, the group disbanded. Leaders and members of Identity Evropa, such as former leader Elliot Kline, praised Nazi Germany and pushed for what they described as the "Nazification of America".

Through his work, Enoch ridicules African Americans, Jews, and other minorities, advocates racial discrimination, and promotes conspiracy theories such as Holocaust denial and white genocide.
Jason Eric Kessler is an American neo-Nazi, white supremacist, and antisemitic conspiracy theorist. Kessler organized the Unite the Right rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 11–12, 2017, and the Unite the Right 2 rally held on August 12, 2018.
Christopher Charles Cantwell, also known as the Crying Nazi, is an American white supremacist, neo-Nazi, and antisemitic conspiracy theorist.
The Nationalist Front was a loose coalition of radical right and white supremacist organizations. The coalition was formed in 2016 by leaders of the neo-Nazi groups National Socialist Movement (NSM) and Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP). Its aim was to unite white supremacist and white nationalist groups under a common umbrella. Originally the group was named the Aryan Nationalist Alliance and was composed of neo-Nazi, Ku Klux Klan and White power skinhead organizations.
Paul Nehlen is a white supremacist and former Congressional candidate from Wisconsin. During the 2016 and 2018 Republican Party primary elections in Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, he spouted various racist, white nationalist, nativist, protectionist, and antisemitic views.
