The report demonstrates that white supremacists who are facing increased online content moderation and scrutiny are continuing to seek real-world, public and low-tech methods to spread hate.
The state accounted for a nation-leading 527 incidents of spreading hate, including public events and distribution of fliers, posters and banners, according to the ADL.ByWhite supremacist groups spread more propaganda in Texas than any other state in 2022,The state accounted for 527 incidents of propaganda — including public events hosted by white supremacists and the distribution of hateful fliers, posters and banners — out of a nationwide total of 6,751, according to the report.
Pictures of the fliers or posters are often posted online by concerned residents or media outlets, inadvertently amplifying the groups’ hateful messages.“It’s disappointing and alarming to see Texas at the top of any list related to hate and extremism,” Stacy Cushing, the Anti-Defamation League’s Texoma regional director, said in a statement, adding that Texas has “reached a critical time in the fight against extremism and bigotry.
Patriot Front, a Texas-based white supremacist group, was responsible for 80% of propaganda distributions counted by the ADL. The group sets literature distribution quotas for members, the ADL said, which could help explain Texas’ outsized place in the nationwide tally.The group was formed in the Dallas suburbs in 2017. Its manifesto calls for the formation of a white ethnostate in the U.S., and one of its founders, Thomas Ryan Rousseau, is from Grapevine.
Last year, Patriot Front members disseminated propaganda in every state except Hawaii, according to the ADL report.
