Since the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville many white nationalists have discovered that being a neo-Nazi in this day and age is detrimental to their social standing as well as their career prospects. Some have decided to quietly retreat from public racism, perhaps hoping that their involvement in hate movements will be overlooked or forgotten. Some of these people have ended up disappointed by taking this misguided attitude, since antifascists may forgive but we do not forget. To paraphrase the seminal New Wave band Blondie, “One way or another, we’re gonna find ya, we’re gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha…”
The neo-Nazi “Unite the Right” attendee who went by the alias “Mitch Hoob” was a serial harasser and internet troll who was part of a sweeping harassment campaign against journalists, posting their personal information online as well as the personal information of uninvolved relatives and loved ones (ie “doxing” them). While we expose racist creeps who would rather remain hidden behind their online aliases, we have standards, and we do so for the benefit of the public. “Mitch Hoob” was indiscriminate and put innocent people in danger by exposing their personal information to violent neo-Nazi extremists. We suppose that if you were “Mitch Hoob” it would make sense to keep your real identity secret. He tried to hide and you can’t blame a guy for trying. But like the song goes, “One way or another…” This is our report.

“Mitch Hoob”
The neo-Nazi internet troll known as “Mitch Hoob” was once a member of the white nationalist group Identity Dixie, and we know this because prior to the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally “Mitch Hoob” stated that he would be hanging out with “Wade Garrett” (actually Mitchell Shane Rivers of Burlington, North Carolina) who then instructed him to inform “Erika” (Erica Alduino of Identity Evropa) that he was a member of Identity Dixie. This is detailed in Unicorn Riot’s Discord Leaks, which exposes the communications of white nationalist groups prior to the event and after.
