Navajo-style militias led the freedom convoy with fascist aims

Evidence

King was, of course, parroting the ā€œGreat Replacementā€ theory, which has been at the heart of so much white supremacist carnage. And he was far from the only convoy leader with openly racist views and affiliations. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network reported that virtually every group it monitors was playing a leadership role, including a network that seeks to carve out a new country called Diagolon, which would run from Alaska, through the Canadian prairies and Alberta, and all the way to Florida. According to the Anti-Hate Network, ā€œDiagolon is increasingly becoming a militia network. Their goals are ultimately fascist: to use violence to take power and strip rights away from people who do not meet their purity tests based on ideology, race, and gender … Their motto is ā€˜gun or rope.ā€™ā€ — Naomi Klein, Doppelganger, 863

Categorization

  • XREF: Diagolon’s name mirrors Klein’s ā€˜diagonalism’ term — a coincidence the author likely plays on; worth tracking.
  • QUESTION: Does Klein note the phonetic near-coincidence between ā€˜Diagolon’ and her own ā€˜diagonalist’ framework? Worth checking the pages around here.
