Weltschmerz à Gogo<p>The "artist" responsible for much of Atomwaffen Division's propaganda has been found guilty in Canada and may be in prison for a very long time:</p><p>===</p><p>Patrick Gordon Macdonald, better known by his pseudonym Dark Foreigner, has been found guilty for participating in the activity of a terrorist group, facilitating terrorist activity, and the commission of offence for a terrorist group.</p><p>The verdict was handed down by Justice R Smith in an Ottawa courtroom as Macdonald had elected to have a judge make the ruling rather than a jury. </p><p>Smith found that the videos had two purposes: to “recruit new members” and to “promote” the Atomwaffen Division. </p><p>The Crown requested that Macdonald be held without bail, while Macdonald’s defence indicated they expected the sentencing to be quite long, pointing that their client has been on bail for the duration of the trial. Justice Smith ruled that Macdonald could remain out of custody until a bail hearing could be held. </p><p>Macdonald was previously released on bail after being arrested in July 2023. He entered a plea of not guilty before the court. The maximum sentences for his charges include life in prison, but the Crown has not indicated how much time they intend to ask for.</p><p><a href="https://www.antihate.ca/atomwaffen_division_propagandist_patrick_macdonald_found_guilty_on_all_charges" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">antihate.ca/atomwaffen_divisio</span><span class="invisible">n_propagandist_patrick_macdonald_found_guilty_on_all_charges</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AtomwaffenDivision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AtomwaffenDivision</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AWD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AWD</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NeoNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeoNazis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Terrorgram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Terrorgram</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/accelerationism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accelerationism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fcknzs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fcknzs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PatrickMacDonald" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PatrickMacDonald</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JamesMason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JamesMason</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Siege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Siege</span></a></p>
