MMA (at aleast) has attracted far right people for a long time. I quit my local MMA club over a decade ago when I noticed that there are people there who train just so they can use those skills on a night out.

Edit: and in retrospect those folks were clearly neo-nazis. I was naive.

My local martial arts club had a rightwing woman join around spring 2021. Almost immediately she brought kind of chuddy energy to our meetings which really sucked. However, she wasn’t outright violating any of our rules about hate speech or accepting other people.

At first we tried to ignore her, but she didn’t take the hint and kept showing up even when most members stopped speaking to her in complete sentences. Then we passed a rule saying that you couldn’t participate in club events without being vaccinated. She threw a fit and called us all pharma sheep before quitting in a huff, and we got to enjoy our hobby again.

If this happens again, I’m personally going to skip straight to making their membership untenable.

These Fascist “clubs” are spreading worldwide. reminds me of the Tate YT channel crap, but this is another level.

"According to the GPAHE research, there are now chapters in 27 countries, with new youth wings – akin to Hitler Youth-styled clubs – are surging stateside and abroad, “metastasizing” across western countries and recruiting young men into toxic, far-right ideologies encouraging race war.

Recent research published by the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE) has shown that since 2023, these clubs are newly sprouting in Sweden, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, the UK, Finland and for the first time, in Latin America with two chapters in Chile and Colombia appearing."

Brain disorders without borders. Stupid knows no boundaries unfortunately

They should do it with axes and swords, I’m sure it would be very popular in their circles (and everyone else would cheer them on as well).
