Is it correct to say that you have gone from a dedicated Antifa member to a convinced race realist?

Yes, although I’m not sure the term “member” is the appropriate term. “Adherent” is a better term.

From what age until what age were you active in Antifa, and what years were these?

I participated in Antifa and related activities from the ages of about 17 to 22 or 23, during the early- to mid-’00s.

Please describe your background, upbringing, and education.

I was reared in a middle-class family that struggled at first, but I never went hungry. Throughout my childhood and young adulthood, I had very little guidance from my parents, whose philosophy seemed to be only to facilitate whatever their child wanted, so long as it was not physically harmful. This permissiveness included my Antifa activities and subsequent arrest.

My father is Catholic and my mother is Jewish. I was reared Jewish but rejected that religion/culture at a very early age and became an atheist. I wrote an article for Occidental Observer that goes into more detail.

I was a shy and sensitive child, and without proper guidance from my parents, I developed some problems I am still working through today. I always had an innate sense that society was deeply unfair; this riled me endlessly. I felt unabating anger about societal ills, which I can now look back on as a symptom of an illness I contracted as a child that caused emotional issues and that wasn’t diagnosed until recently.

In high school and college, most of my passion was for second-wave feminism. I was the person you didn’t want to be around at a party, because I would police every joke for political correctness. I would not use words such as “lame” or “retard” because I felt they were offensive in an unintended way.
