How to use this map
Group Name鈥�
- Sorting the map byGroup Name听breaks down the number of flyering incidents according to the hate groups carrying out this activity.听Patriot Front听鈥� the group that posted the most propaganda in 2019, 2020 and 2021鈥� and the New Jersey European Heritage Association 鈥� a group whose flyering activity increased substantially across 2020 and 2021 鈥� both fall under the听White Nationalist
- The next distinction under Group Name,听Ku Klux Klan, is typically listed as an ideology by the 蜜桃传媒, with individual hate groups that fit under this broader term. However, given the Klan鈥檚 comparably narrow and rigid ideology and the similarity between Klan group names, the Ku Klux Klan is listed as a group rather than an ideology on this map.
- The category labeled 鈥淥ther鈥� contains flyers from groups such as听The Daily Stormer,听The David Horowitz Freedom Center, and 鈥淚t鈥檚 okay to be white,鈥� which is not a group name but rather the content of a flyer that has been popularized on the imageboard, 4chan. 鈥淥ther鈥� now also contains all of the flyering incidents carried out by the American Identity Movement, a white nationalist group previously known as Identity Evropa. Since disbanding in November 2020, this group has stopped posting hateful propaganda.
Flyer Type鈥�
- 罢丑别听Flyer Type听view is straightforward, displaying flyers posted on college campuses separated out from those posted in public, non-campus, areas.
- Throughout 2021, some hate groups started using stencils and spray paint, as well as stickers to spread their hateful rhetoric. Both of these types of propaganda are still categorized as flyers and filtered by their location, public versus campus.
- Banners are different from flyers in their size and the number of hate group members it requires to deploy.
