A Chrome extension called “Nazi Detector” was designed to put swastikas around the names of known white supremacists. In practice, however, some conservatives and non-Nazi conservative groups made the list tagged by the extension — such as Lauren Southern and the Liberty Counsel.
The extension was designed by Daniel Sieradski, of Self Agency LLC, as a response to the Coincidence Detector, which put three sets of parenthesis around the names of Jewish people online.
“It is actually derived directly from the Coincidence Detector’s code,” he said. “I wanted to troll back the Nazis by turning their own technology back against them.”
Sieradski says the list was compiled by a variety of sources, some from databases held by the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League, others were followers of white supremacist Twitter accounts. Others were added for being heavily promoted by “outspoken, if anonymous, white supremacists.” This is probably how Southern made the cut.
The list also includes Ben Garrison, a popular Trump-supporting cartoonist. Hardly a Nazi, despite people Photoshopping some of his cartoons for white supremacist purposes.
Alt-right firebrand, Milo Yiannopoulos gets the distinction of having his name replaced with “Human Trashfire.”
Any mention of Trump gets replaced with 卐Trumpler卐 and cuck with 卐less-racist conservative卐.
If anyone feels the list misrepresents them they can contact Sieradski and get their name removed. But something tells me Human Trashfire may have some difficulties.
