So I found out about this guy when someone brought up Welcome to Leith in Mikemikev's thread. A couple of people there seemed to think he was cow-worthy. We'll see.
For those who aren't familiar, Welcome to Leith is a documentary that's been popular on Netflix lately, it's about this guy's attempt to take over the eponymous fly-over state prairie village in the name of white nationalism between 2012 and 2014. He did this by buying property there, and encouraging other white nationalists to do the same, with the ultimate aim of gaining the electoral majority (Leith only had a population of 16). The people of Leith obviously didn't take kindly to him openly displaying Neo-Nazi paraphernalia on his property, especially since one of them is an African American who's married to a white woman. After a series of legal troubles, he was forced to sell his properties and leave, although some of his fellow ideologues still hold land there, they're apparently not interested in picking up where he left off.
He's also tried to establish all-white/white nationalist communities elsewhere: just south of Tallinn, Estonia, in 2005, and most recently in Antler, North Dakota in 2015.
He's part of a cult called Creativity which venerates white people and advocates "racial holy war". Cobb himself has said "my race is my religion".
Trying to establish white nationalist communities is far from the extent of his activism. He has been known to disrupt various rallies and events at odds with his ideology. Most notably, after Rosa Parks died and was laid in state in the US Capitol Rotunda, he attended, harassed visitors, called her a "shitskin communist" and generally made it clear that he was there to celebrate her death.
He owns a site called Podblanc where he frequently releases propaganda videos under the name "Chain". Some of his videos feature him going to public events, pretending to be a news reporter and asking people "provocative questions laced with racial slurs." He also posts under his own name on Stormfront.
After a US District Judge, Joan Lefkow, ruled that the Creativity cult could not use the name Church of the Creator due to copyright, she effectively painted a target on her back for Neo-Nazis. Sure enough, one such man, Matt Hale, was arrested for soliciting her murder. How did Cobb respond? He doxxed her on a discussion board, posting her home address, family photos, and a map to her house. Lefkow herself received a security detail, but still returned home one day to find her husband and elderly mother shot dead in her basement. While it later turned out to be unrelated (the murderer was retaliating to Lefkow throwing out his medical malpractice suit or something), Cobb had this to say when reporters asked him how he felt about the double murder:
I've found all this simply from his Wikipedia page, and haven't really had time to dig much deeper. Enjoy.
