Von Nukem at Charlottesville
A devoted follower of Richard Spencer, who rose to his leader's summons and marched with his comrades arm-in-arm to Charlottesville in 2017, has died after committing suicide.
The young man, Teddy Joseph Von Nukem, 35, was in the front rank of the notorious "Tiki Torch March on Charlottesville" that served to raise Spencer's profile in the national media.
But the downside for Von Nukem of serving his Fuhrer was that he became an unemployable loser and drifted into drug smuggling for chump change. He was facing trial for smuggling 15 kilos of deadly opioid at the time of his death.

As reported by the Daily Mail:
A Missouri man who was among the most prominent Neo-Nazis at the infamous 2017 Charlottesville rally has shot himself dead on what was supposed to be the first day of his drug trafficking trial.Teddy Joseph Von Nukem, a 35-year-old father of five young children, was found dead by his wife outside their spacious $400,000 Rolla, Missouri home on January 30.He was due in court in Arizona that day, charged with smuggling 15kg of fentanyl pills in his car as he crossed from Mexico into the U.S. in March 2021.Von Nukem admitted that he had been paid $215 to transport the drugs.Von Nukem became interested in Nazi Germany during high school, and as an adult in 2012 changed his name from Teddy Landrum in a nod to his German heritage and the video-game character Duke Nukem.He travelled to Virginia for the 2017 Unite the Right march which shocked the nation, and was among the tiki torch-carrying white supremacists who paraded through the city chanting: 'Jews will not replace us'.
Well, it looks like what the Jews couldn't do, Von Nukem did himself.
There has been a growing toll on those mixed up in the movement that Spencer led in 2016 and 2017, with several young Alt-Righters taking their lives.

There has been a growing toll on those mixed up in the movement that Spencer led in 2016 and 2017, with several young Alt-Righters taking their lives.
Since a civil case for damages launched against Spencer and several other participants in Charlottesville, the former Alt-Right leader has worked hard on Twitter to distance himself from the movement and make amends for his past mistakes.
In recent months he has famously supported Joe Biden, NATO, and the Ukraine's struggle to defend itself against Putin's invasion.

One can only imagine how demoralising this U-turn must have been for Spencer's former fans.
In 2021 Cameron Padgett, a student who organised speaking events by Richard Spencer at several universities, tragically killed himself at the age of 33, while just last year Martin Rojas, another Spencer/Alt-Right foot-soldier reportedly killed himself as well.
Remember, kids, don't get involved in the emotional rollercoaster of dissident politics unless you are tough enough to take the inevitable knocks and bruises.

At some point Richard Spencer will be an advocate for negroes and Jews, and be a star employee with the SPLC. That is the natural trajectory for Spencer.
ReplyDeleteImagine having five kids and being too dumb to milk the system for gabbament gibs. But its another sort of stupid to smuggle drugs for fucking pesos. That means these drugs belonged to a dealer and now he would have owned that dealer money. What happend with that? This whole case is stupid. Something is off here.
