Jane MarieHostI was always interested in, uh, right-wing networks or extreme right-wing networks or, or to just, like, conspiracy networks.
And- Um, before the last large election in, in Germany, I wanted to see, like, what this movement or, like, this area of the internet is, was kind of doing.
If you don't follow German politics, one of the big stories from that election was the growing popularity of Germany's AFD party, which is so far right that the country's domestic intelligence agency has called it an extremist group, quote, "Incompatible with the free democratic order." So to get a better handle on what ethnonationalists and neo-Nazis are doing online, Martha scrapes the web to build an interconnected map of websites.
Who's linking to who, which sites are more important or less important, that kind of thing.
And while she's doing that, the name of one site catches her eye, whitedate.net.
I remember, like, seeing it in my database.
I was like, "What the hell is this?"
And then clicked on it and was like, more like, "What the hell is this?"
And, and just thought that it would be funny just to register there.
Like, because, like, like then I did not look at, l- look much from a, from a technical perspective.
Like, there, like, basically just, like, why does this exist?
In the US, we have dating sites for religious affinities, for cheaters, for farmers.
There are dating sites for kinks, a dating site for clowns, all sites that are organized around people sharing in the very niche things they love.
So I suppose it should come as no shock that there are also dating sites centered around people sharing things that they hate.
And if you were to look at whitedate.net and, like, not read too deep into it, it's almost indistinguishable from something like Tinder.
The landing page has a large photo of a smiling couple, a white couple of course, in an embrace, and a seemingly anodyne quote from Antoine de Saint Exupery, the author of The Little Prince.
It's looking in the same direction." But when you dig into the site itself, you find profiles that say things like, "I have very good genes," or, "I would like to find a woman who understands the value of nation, race, and seeks the truth," or, "Jews want us all to mix together until the world becomes a brown, dumbed-down mass of low-IQ halfwits."
The whole background idea is, like, the whole idea of the so-called white genocide, and, um, that, that usually somehow includes that, um, there are some, some powers somewhere, um, which, which want to get rid of the, of the white race.
Like, it's, it's, it depends a little bit on whom you ask, but usually it's, it's the Jews who want to get rid of the white race for whatever reasons.
They are, like, so crazy th- that they are, like, they, they're not, like, one homogenous group.
Like, they have, like, a lot of different tastes of this conspiracy theory, and, um, like, they, mostly it's the Jews which are responsible, but not always, but really, really often.
