One fascist to watch in 2021 is Joseph Charles "Oakman" Golinske of SE MI. He's been a Proud Boy for a couple years, but took a break recently from the group and promotes himself through the "Oak Nation" channel on Telegram.

Most people may be familiar with him as the tall guy in the Proud Boys bridge shot, from their August 17, 2019 attack on Portland, which featured an American Guard bus trying (and failing) to bludgeon antifascists with hammers.
He was also with his g/f at the time (Dominique Tota, left of Tarrio), and that's definitely a twitter account folks will want to block/report because he posts on it.
He's been plenty active at the pro-Covid/anti-mask/ReOpen protests in Lansing MI, seen here with Jerry Wayne and an effigy of Gretchen Whitmer, who his militia friends tried to kidnap and publicly execute.
Outside of the Proud Boys, his solo "career" with Oak Nation features the same misogyny, classism and gateway to far-right domestic terrorism the Proud Boys themselves feature. Here's him peddling oxychlorinque and bragging about harassing service workers.
He also tries to recruit with the "anti-antifa" angle (gotta be a shorter word for that). If anyone knows the eight people he's referring to (or knowledge that he made it up) we're all ears.
Earlier this year, Golinske announced he was stepping away from the Proud Boys, to deal with "personal issues", so it was an amicable parting and he may rejoin the group (officially) in the future.
We say officially, because shortly after this post, PB/III%er hanger-on Stefanie Redding hosted Golinske in Troy for a "Take Back America" (her FB hate speech forum) meet-up, and following this her counter protesters started assaulting anti-racists in Shelby Twp.
Outside of this appearance, Golinske has dropped off the publicly accessible social media landscape, with these largely inactive accounts being his footprint.
Good catch by @leftside, reposting with better image:

"What were the personal reasons for his PB departure? Likely the same reasons that caused him to bounce between Dearborn, Ypsilanti and Southgate: a decade of unpaid child support."

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x


The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x

Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x

The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x

It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
