Biography

Andrew Anglin was born in 1984, and grew up near Columbus, Ohio.[4][5] According to both Anglin and his childhood classmates, he was liberal as a youth.[6][7] He attended the Linworth Alternative Program and the Worthington Kilbourne High School from 1999 to 2003, where he was remembered as a dreadlocked vegan.[8] His friends in high school report that his behavior changed during his sophomore year at Linworth, where he exhibited self-harming behavior, and began promoting conspiracy theories.[9] After high school, Anglin took classes at Columbus State Community College in 2003, and studied English at Ohio State University for one semester in 2004.[10][11] In 2006 Anglin launched a conspiracy theory website, Outlaw Journalism, which was modeled after the works of Alex Jones and Hunter S. Thompson, whom Anglin admired.[12] In 2008, after posting on Outlaw Journalism that the only way for humanity to survive was to return to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, Anglin began traveling around Southeast Asia, eventually ending up in Davao City, in the Philippines. In 2011, he spent several weeks with a Tboli village in southern Mindanao, where he initially intended to stay permanently, selling some of his possessions to raise money for a dowry to marry two local Muslim women[13]. In 2012, Anglin wrote that he found the locals to be "a civilized, non-aggressive and industrious people" but he eventually came to consider them too "primitive," became lonely and only wanted to associate with members of his own race, and "By the Grace of God, I found Adolf Hitler."[14] In 2012, Anglin launched another website, Adventure Quest 2012, which discussed conspiracy theories such as the existence of reptilian humanoids. He described the aim of the site as seeking to "mend the wounds produced by modern society ... and [help] the reader transcend these physical bonds and reach total ascendancy. To mend these wounds, the world must learn to embrace diversity and color''.[15] Later in 2012, he launched his first Neo-Nazi website, Total Fascism.[16] Feeling that Total Fascism was not appealing to a younger demographic and had articles that were too long, Anglin launched The Daily Stormer on July 4, 2013, with shorter articles and a more provocative style.[17]

Conversion to Nazism

In 2014, he stated that although he agreed with the central tenets of Nazism, he had reservations over reintroducing all aspects of Hitler's regime.[18] A self-proclaimed "troll," Anglin stated that he was introduced to Nazism on the online imageboard 4chan.[19]

Views

Anglin has stated "The goal is to ethnically cleanse White nations of non-Whites and establish an authoritarian government. Many people also believe that the Jews should be exterminated".[20] Anglin also uses The Daily Stormer as a platform to promote misogynistic conspiracy theories, claiming that politically active “white women across the Western world” are pushing for liberal immigration policies “to ensure an endless supply of Black and Arab men to satisfy their depraved sexual desires.”[21] In July 2018, Anglin summarized his misogynistic views, writing: “Look, I hate women. I think they deserve to be beaten, raped and locked in cages.”[22] Anlgin is also a holocaust denier[23] Although he has espoused Neo-Nazi views for a long time he has tried to rebrand his ideology as ''American Nationalism".[24]
