New: I identified Johnathan Christopher (Chris) Booth as the man behind the openly neo-Nazi Shameless Sperg YouTube channel. He had gained 52,000 followers in just two months; YouTube shut the channel down after we contacted them for comment www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Chris Booth’s channel – rife with neo-Nazi ideology, antisemitism and racism – garnered 2.3m views and likely thousands of dollars from YouTube in about two months

Unmasked: the man behind one of the fastest growing far-right YouTube channels

    Booth’s wife Meg is the elected Republican treasurer of Maple Valley Township in Michigan, but there is no indication that she shares his views and indeed, when I asked her for comment she explicitly repudiated them

    Remember the Bumper Stickers..."AMERICA...LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT". These asshole would not last one Week in a Fascist run Country. First they'd be Arrested then Shot for Protesting.

    The fascinating thing about so many of these neo-Nazis is that their material feels like you took a labor activist's zine and word substituted in a bunch of racist slurs and Glonzo (which also happens to be racist).

    The next question is whether The Guardian will continue to promote these fascists under the pretense of reporting OR will The Guardian expose every mfcking fascist along with their place of work and play so the people can appropriately banish them?
