Lucas Gage

Angelo Gage was a minor Alt Right b-lister when he was with Identity Evropa. He then left activism for a few years, but recently returned under a new name: Lucas Gage. He has become one of the dissident Right’s many overnight success stories through Elon Musk’s Twitter/X. He grew from 50,000 followers to over 200,000 in a matter of months and has established his account as one of the large anti-Zionist accounts, and possibly the biggest explicitly Right-wing anti-Zionist account (many have accused Jackson Hinkle of being a crypto-Right-winger).


But last month, Lucas Gage was suspended for three months by Twitter/X.


The official explanation for the suspension from Elon Musk himself is that it came as a result of a video wherein Gage appeared to advocate for the killing of Jews. In this video he said the following in a very aggressive, Alex Jonesian manner:


Every time I try to have a peaceful conversation, I know exactly where they’re going. It’s out of context, that’s not the real Torah, we don’t follow the Talmud, and then they go to the Talmud later. It’s all lies. These people are fucking Satanic! They are Satanic! They are demons! You don’t treat demons with respect. “I actually disagree, sir. Excuse me sir, I disagree.” You fucking slay them! You slay demons! That’s it! Fucking capture a demon and bring them home and feed them? What are you doing? You destroy them where they stand. The only way you should be treating a Zionist is with utter contempt and disgust. You shame them, you call them out. You show them what they are. “Look at this fucking monster laughing at babies. Look at this one supporting genocide. Look at this one making excuses for this. Look at this one lie about that.” That’s all you do.
