I hope you write something about this. I certainly see the "leftist" contingent of white nationalists, though the people I have in mind don't appear (key word) to be white supremacists. They're still vocally pro-BLM (and haven't gone down the QAnon rabbit hole). Nihilism is a common trait though, to varying degrees.
They DEFINITELY loathe the DNC.
Their pro-Assange, pro-Putin stuff has really confounded me.
