Decoherence Media
VerifiedOnline/Digital
Decoherence Media is an independent, journalist-founded nonprofit investigating authoritarian and anti-democratic movements using open-source and data-driven methods.
At a time when masked agents of the state act with impunity, emboldened neo-Nazi groups march in the streets, and one institution after another legitimizes authoritarian consolidation, there is a need for unflinching reporting to hold these forces to account. We will identify and expose fascists, whether they are wearing khakis, a suit, or a badge. Source

Far-right troll account followed by JD Vance on X unmasked
On April 23, 2025, an X account going by “HowlingMutant” replied to a post, writing: “But we do exist. Thousands upon thousands of men descended from rapists. And we all want sex. And sooner or later we’re going to stop asking nicely” to his nearly 200,000 followers. It was a characteristic post for the account, which has long reveled in shock humor, misogyny, and white supremacist rhetoric.
JD Vance follows fascists and antisemites on X
Vice President JD Vance’s ties to the far-right have been well-reported—from writing a promotional blurb in a book from Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec (who has mocked the Holocaust and repeatedly used the neo-Nazi “1488” dogwhistle) to his reported friendship with neo-monarchist Curtis Yarvin (who has written that there’s “nothing wrong with a military coup" and “jokingly” advocated converting the poor of San Francisco into biodiesel).

Active Clubs are decentralized offshoots of the Rise Above Movement, which engage in combat sports and white nationalist activism.

Grok, the chatbot run by the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) is generating nonconsensual pornographic images of women with their clothes removed and wearing bikinis with swastikas on them. This follows a recent wave of criticism directed against X for Grok’s weak moderation policies, which allow users to ask Grok to “strip” clothes from pictures of women, including minors.
The Lithuanian online shop selling patches of designated Nazi terror groups
Decoherence Media has identified an online patch shop that has, in the past several years, become the go-to store for the most radical fringe of the far-right to design and order embroidered patches from. Decoherence Media counted more than 300 patches whose designs are unambiguously far-right, white nationalist, or Nazi affiliated.
Neo-Nazi “Rope Culture” web server reveals the structure and culture of a far-right network
In November 2019, a significant far-right data leak surfaced online in the shape of the of the notorious neo-Nazi forum, Iron March. Founded in 2011, the site has been offline since 2017. But its notoriety lived on, with dozens of users convicted of murder, crimes against children, terrorism-related charges, and other violent offenses.
“Rope Culture” propagandists exposed and emails explored: From Iron March leaks to FashyLeaks
Earlier this week, Decoherence Media released an investigation revealing the contents of the previously unreported neo-Nazi Rope Culture server. Part of the notorious Iron March leak from 2019, the Rope Culture server hosted Iron March’s electronic magazine, “NOOSE.” The Rope Culture server data, however, appears to have been missed by researchers who first analyzed the contents of the Iron March server leak.
