Donately Censors Occidental Dissent For “Hate Speech”

Occidental Dissent has been “no-platformed” by Donately.

The first inkling that this was coming was in an article published by the SPLC over the weekend in which they doxed the League of the South’s Chief of Security:

“Securing convenient forms of online payment has been a perennial problem for the far right. Stormfront’s founder Don Black has resorted to repeated pleas for funding after having his PayPal account canceled and finding himself unable to secure a merchant account to process online transactions after a recent ban from his previous processing company.

The LOS and one of its affiliates, Occidental Dissent — a favorite white nationalist blog of LOS members — recently lost PayPal accounts for terms of use violations. While Hill has attempted to skirt this loss by using his personal account to accept payments and donations, others have been put in a precarious position with no clear avenue to raise already scarce funds.

Malone, however, had the solution.

Less than a week after Duke’s meeting with the LOS head of security, both Stormfront and Occidental Dissent were using new, nearly identical donation forms powered by a company named Donate.ly that allows organizations — primarily social good and non- profit groups — to process donations made by credit card.

When contacted by Hatewatch about Stormfront and Occidental Dissent using their platform, a company spokesperson explained, “Donately is a service that allows organizations to start taking online donations simply and without a contract. As such, we don’t approve or deny the organizations that use our service before they create an account.”

After describing a recent decision to ban an account opened by Kyle “Based Stickman” Chapman, the spokesman continued: “We don’t allow violent hate groups to use our services. The ‘Based Stickman’ incident just happened recently and since then we have been consulting with our legal council to amend our Terms of Service to be more clear on what is not allowed on the system.” …

It was no surprise when this email from Donately arrived on Monday:

“Hi Brad,

We are writing to inform you that we have recently changed our terms of use. You will find a link to the new terms below. Specifically, we’ve added additional language to Section 5.1.

Donately’s Terms of Use

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please let us know.

Thank you –
Bryan Shanaver
Donately CEO”

Donately changed its TOS after being contacted by the SPLC in order to specifically “no-platform” Occidental Dissent and Stormfront. This came in the aftermath of banning Kyle Chapman aka Based Stickman for being a “violent hate group.” It was through Based Stickman that I heard about Donately in the first place. I assumed they supported free speech.

I got this email yesterday afternoon:

“Hello,

It has come to our attention that your organization violates the terms of use of Donately, specifically section 5.1.a.III.

Due to this, we are invoking our right to close your account at our discretion, as stated in section 5.1 of the same terms of use. ….

Kind regards,
The Donately Team”

Already knowing the answer, I replied to their email:

“Hello,

Is it fair to say that you changed your TOS in order appease the SPLC?”

Here is the response I got from Bryan Shanaver:

“Hi Brad,

No, but it is true the SPLC contacted us and alerted us that your organization was using Donately. It prompted us to review your site and your organization’s message. We were already in the process of expanding our TOS to explicitly include hate speech and race intolerance. Hopefully this update dissuades similar organizations from creating Donately accounts in the future.

There are other options out there which cater to your views on the world, please choose one of those.

Kind regards,
Bryan”

I had no idea who Bryan Shanaver was until this afternoon. After Googling him, I realized he was involved with Invisible Children’s “Kony 2012” campaign. Then it all clicked and I remembered how that was the ultimate SJW virtue signaling campaign which collapsed in a fiasco.


Bryan Shanaver’s entire presence on Facebook and Twitter is consumed with posts about how much he hates Trump and Republicans. It doesn’t come as any surprise that someone who thinks Trump’s impeachment is imminent would be censoring rightwing sites for “hate speech.”

I’m not going to whine about it.

In the last few months, Occidental Dissent has been “no-platformed” by Disqus, PayPal and Donately. We haven’t even bothered with Patreon and GoFundMe. This is all part of a broader leftwing campaign to stigmatize, censor and defund rightwing speech as “hate speech.” Progressives are having a big tantrum because they lost the presidential election. The Sleeping Giants campaign has targeted Breitbart and the SPLC has harassed everyone from Occidental Dissent to Breitbart to the Daily Stormer to the Family Research Council to President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Facebook is deleting 66,000 posts a week in a crackdown on “hate speech”:

“Facebook is hiring an additional 3,000 people to delete posts that it considers hate speech, the company announced Tuesday.

The social media giant said it has removed an average of 66,000 posts every week over the past two months.

How does Mark Zuckerberg’s company define hate speech? …

“When we remove something you posted that you believe is a reasonable political view, it can feel like censorship. We know how strongly people feel when we make such mistakes, and we’re constantly working to improve our processes and explain things more fully,” Allan said.

Zuckerberg said in May that the “reviewers” who are removing posts are working for the public good.”

If you think that is bad, California has passed its own travel ban which bans state-funded travel to eight states including Alabama over their opposition to transgenderism:

“California is restricting publicly funded travel to four more states because of recent laws that leaders here view as discriminatory against gay and transgender people.

All totaled, California now bans most state-funded travel to eight states.

The new additions to California’s restricted travel list are Texas, Alabama, Kentucky and South Dakota.

They join Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee as states already subjected to the ban. …”

I’m not going to lament these trends.

I don’t consider myself a victim here. I believe that rightwing crowdfunding sites like WeSearchr and Counter.fund will emerge as viable alternatives to Silicon Valley. This type of censorship will only create opportunities for our own people with a tech background. It will keep more of our money circulating in our own communities. It will promote virtue and polarization which will morally and politically advance our long term goals. By censoring populist speech as “hate speech,” liberals will only end up increasing our popularity by making our ideas look edgy and cool to young people.

The SPLC’s favorite tactic to suppress rightwing speech is through employment discrimination. They attempt to violate our civil rights. They attack our civil rights of free speech and free assembly. American Renaissance is unable to book hotel rooms. Richard Spencer is banned from his gym. He wasn’t allowed to speak at Auburn University until we won a federal lawsuit. In this case, Occidental Dissent and Stormfront are being discriminated against by crowdfunding sites.

It is all worth it because it shows the Left has come full circle. They don’t have any morally principled belief in free speech, civil rights, non-discrimination, tolerance, non-violence, colorblindness or equality. When they were weak, the Left invoked all of those “principles” but now that they are strong they have discarded them. This proves that our ancestors were right and they were simply against us all along. We have nothing to feel guilty about anymore. We are justified in taking our own side and moving beyond this confidence trick which the Left abandoned a generation ago.

Note: This is a temporary inconvenience. If you would like to contribute to Occidental Dissent, we will have a new system up and running shortly. I encourage you to do so because you can see how desperate our enemies are to silence us down. It is high praise.

  1. Sir,
    Start your own pay platform,s and any other platform you need. If you need a specialist, then take out a loan to hire one and the fees to incorporate, and then do it.

    It’s painfully obvious that your only route is to be self-sufficient – entirely.

    I’m sorry for your pains!

  2. Also, look for a lawyer who will take you up on a prospective win, and hire him to lay suits on these people.

    Raise money the good ole-fashioned way – SUE!

  3. the (((Left))) isn’t “strong”. The Jews are buying consent thru trillion$ in debt-finded gibs-me-dats. When the debt blows up, and it will, it’s going to be a (((target)))-rich environment. I also note that Anglin @ http:dailystormer.com has found a way to amply fund his defense against then ((($PLC) lawfare racket. I am hoping he will soon counterattack: the Jewlawyers @ $PLC have $300,000,000 parked on (((Wall St.))).

  4. The Left is only the bad cop to The Right’s good cop.

    It’s a dangerously false dichotomy.

    (((They))) are now publicly hunting down young white women to get them fired, just recently job-lynching Sinead McCarthy who was apparently working with autistic children without any problems while believing she had the right to free speech and a private life.

    This marks a new era, as historically they have avoided public attacks on white women (the lower working class white women, particularly ‘anglos’ – who turned out the Trump vote – have always been hunted down just by stealth). Now the lid has been blown off and the pretense of judeo-non-white succoring of white women is exposed for the suckering it always was.

    Don’t fall into the latest jew trap. Dailystormer’s radioactive misogyny is just today’s version of the distortions of jewish feminism.

  5. Well OF COURSE OD has been banned by the funding site. That is to its and Hunter’s CREDIT, that means YOU ARE HAVING AN EFFECT.

    The same thing has happened to Andrew Anglin’s website The Daily Stormer, banned by every way a human being can get money through the internet sites.

    If you tell the TRUTH the Tribe will come after you.

    And that is all that Hunter has done with OD: TELL THE TRUTH.

    This has happened years before in Russia with the Bolsheviks.

    We must remain as tough and security conscious as Hezbollah, THEN we shall win.

    God, however we may understand Him, is on our side, it just may be the Final Battle is getting closer.

  6. DS is controlled op, the ‘lawfare’ theater is just a way of keeping up the facade and soaking some of the dumber and more vulnerable for $.

  7. The Culture Commies are already losing their grip on power. Their hysterical attempts to shut down all opposition proves it. And once they lose that power they are going to get their asses kicked like they have never been kicked before.

  8. Is this counter.fund site legit? The Sam Hyde and Roosh V. “endorsements” look like satire. And what serious platform has to route you through PayPal even at the beginning? The “community” aspect is where the labor is, payment flow for simple donations is a solved problem.

  9. This is not a problem. Any one of the thousands of white posters on these sites are able to develope a similar electronic platform just like PayPal or Facebook in a matter of a single afternoon. Ditto start a company like Google. I just don’t understand what the hold up has been.

  10. @juniusdaniel1828

    Hire “a” specialist to build these platforms? Take out a loan?

    You will need a *team,* not one man. And it would be a hell of a loan to finance it.

  11. I like the new Leave a Reply format system but can’t seem to leave a Reply to my Kameraden- am I doing something wrong?

  12. When the Left and SLPC are trying desperately to shut us up, its means we must be talking a lot of sense and they’re threatened by the inroads we are making.
    We have a right to be heard, just like everyone else, and we cannot and will not go away.

  13. There’s nothing the left hates more than free speech. They fear it because their ideas can’t stand up to debate, scrutiny or even conversation. The discrimination against the right will facilitate complete independence from the system in all of these platforms, it’s only a matter of time………..

  14. Frankly, Nationalist groups and people need to stop being reactionaries when it comes to funding and capital accumulation, and start using lateral thinking and physical networking to build capital. You will either lose or, at best, stagnate if you rely heavily on online payment systems. You don’t really have “rights” when it comes to the digital realm, where companies can simply change their TOS whenever they are pressured by entities that have the money and clout to make their business suffer.

    As an advocate for White people and Nationalist-Racialist politics, you should think of yourself as a grassroots representative and not simply a digital voice. You’re going to have to take real-world networking to a different level if you want to offset the restrictions that will come from relying on payment processors and crowdfunding sites. Be a pioneer, not a bandwagoneer.

  15. Forward this link along to your donately contact (apologize if i am breaking some taboo here by posting external link)

    http://www.wnd.com/2017/06/charity-reports-drop-splc-hate-labels/

    An organization that posts financial information for more than 1 million of charities abruptly withdrew its “hate” designation for 46 mostly Christian organizations, which had been based on the assessment of the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that has been linked in federal court to domestic terror.

    :snip:

    However, the leaders point out SPLC “has no bona fides to make such determinations.”

    “It is not a governmental organization using a rigorous criteria to create its lists, and it is not a scientifically oriented organization. The SPLC is merely another ‘progressive’ political organization,” the letter said.

    The letter is signed by representatives of Eagle Forum, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, American College of Pediatricians, Wallbuilders, Liberty Counsel, Family Research Council, National Organization for Marriage, London Center for Policy Research, Center for Security Policy, American Family Association, ACT for America, Secure America Now, Alliance Defending Freedom, Judicial Watch, the Heritage Foundation and many other groups.

    “The ‘hate group’ list is nothing more than a political weapon targeting people it deems to be its political enemies,” the letter stated.

    “The list is ad hoc, partisan, and agenda-driven. The SPLC doesn’t even pretend to identify groups on the political left that engage in ‘hate.’ Mosques or Islamist groups that promote radical speech inciting anti-Semitism and actual violence are not listed by the SPLC even though many have been publicly identified after terrorist attacks.

    “Radical, violent leftist environmentalists or speech suppressing thugs – like the rioting ‘antifa’ movement – receive no mention from the SPLC.”

    The letter pointed out that violence has been provoked by the lists promoted by the SPLC.

    “Despite its denials to the contrary, this highly refined method of ostracism and dehumanization practiced by the SPLC isn’t just about verbal debate – it can foreseeably lead to violence,” the letter said. “Can it be of any surprise then that SPLC’s hate map was used by a political activist and domestic terrorist to perpetrate the very sort of hate crimes SPLC claims to oppose? In 2012, a shooter entered the Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C., to ‘kill as many as possible’ because SPLC had identified FRC as a ‘hate group,’ and the killer-to-be relied on SPLC’s website to identify targets, according to his sworn testimony.

  16. You have been getting serious exposure at the premier “patriot” blog Western Rifle Shooters, where I asked the blog owner to link your site. I’ve been telling patriots for years now that race is reality and demographics is destiny. Seems they are finally listening. The other point I like to make is that a black “patriot” is like Bigfoot or Nessie, they don’t exist. Blacks ALWAYS put race and black culture before Nation or God.
    Keep sowing those seeds Hunter.
