In 2015, Allen Scarsella was part of the beginning of a new wave of white nationalists using coded language and memes derived from the Internet while espousing white supremacist ideals through terminology not recognized by the larger majority of the populace. He routinely participated in armed meetups and camping trips with other racists that were organized on 4chan’s /k/ board, several of whom took part in trolling and stalking the Jamar Clark protests while armed.
