What is this pastebin?
This is a collection of information regarding Carl Benjamin a.k.a. Sargon of Akkad and his connection to the right wing movements like Kekistan, Proud Boys and others. A Florida teen, Gregory Ramos, who described himself as a "raging conservative" and featured Kekistan symbology on his facebook as well as evidence he avidly watched Sargon of Akkad's videos, strangled his mother for 30mins. Here, I intend to show how Sargon of Akkad acts as an introduction to far-right talking points and groups. This primes young men to be susceptible to extremism, as has been seen with Charlottesville, Berkley, Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting and other incidents where white supremacists and the far-right have gathered. The media has covered the end result of this indoctrination into the right, but little has been said about the important formative time where a young man is gradually exposed this dangerous ideology.

Sargon and Kekistan
Sargon, by his admission and claims by other alt-right youtubers, was instrumental in the popularization of Kekistan. He also engaged with the movement for years after its inception, encouraging his audience to commit acts of graffiti with intention to cause a panic.

Knows that the flag is based on nazi germany, cosigns it anyway. This softens up young men to pro-national socialism. His discord is rife with antisemitism from his fans

Sargon: an introduction to the "red pill"

A study found commonality amongst fascists is that they all started their journey to the far right by watching Sargon's videos.

Sargon speaks at a Proud Boys rally

Descent into extremism

The Proud Boys are a far right organisation. In April of 2018, Sargon flew to the United States to speak at their rally in Concord. The Proud Boys leader, Gavin McInnes, was barred from entry to Australia.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/19/proud-boys-fbi-classification-extremist-group-white-nationalism-report
Sargon's support of an organisation that was deemed an extremist organisation by the FBI creates a bridge between the dangerous elements of the right and young men. The language employed by Sargon is very similar to that found in the more extreme areas of the internet like the Daily Stormer and 4chan.org/pol. In fact, Sargon sources a lot of his content from /pol/.

Sargon frequents the social media platform used by the synagogue shooter. It's a small community of far right individuals.


I hope this helps demonstrate how Sargon of Akkad serves as an introduction to far right ideology. Although he prefers to chuckle at everything he does, there's a more sinister appeal to it all. By wrapping extremist rhetoric in a jovial wrapper, young men are being fed a dangerous narrative. It's akin to adopting a lion cub because it's cute and not acknowledging that it will grow into a deadly animal. There's nothing funny about racism, extremism and misogyny. Do not be a platform for hate.
