(Jewish Group) This Neo-Nazi Gets Paid to Groom Children. Who's Supporting This?

When neo-Nazi Jon Minadeo II encounters children on the video chat platform Omegle, one of two things typically goes down. Either: Minadeo subjects the kid to a torrent of abusive slurs like “f-agg-t”; “k-ke”; and the n-word. Or: He coaxes the child into making a heil Hitler salute, and attempts to groom them into adopting, and even promoting, his rancid ideology of racism and antisemitism.

Whatever the case, Minadeo creates a spectacle. The white supremacist live-streams these video chats for the grotesque amusement of his followers, and to rake in cash from fan donations.

Minadeo, as revealed in his own words, is a Hitler-loving troll and hate influencer who wraps his white-power beliefs in layers of irony. He is the leader of a neo-Nazi network calling itself the Goyim Defense League. That name itself is a curdled sendup of the Anti-Defamation League. (“Goyim” is a Hebrew word for a non-Jew, sometimes used as an insult.)

Minadeo, 40, dresses like a hipster, with a high-fade haircut and a close cropped beard; he goes by the online handle HandsomeTruth. His long history of hate speech got him booted from mainstream social media platforms like YouTube. So Minadeo started his own video service, GoyimTV, where he is the “star” creator.
