I was under the impression that "Diagolon" was more of a shitpost thought up by a streamer to sell patches and stickers and not some actual political movement or group.
I think that the absurdist parody veneer is mostly true, but then again I think they are truly undecided what they actually want to be.
They (mostly Ferry & Rage) are dually blackpilled that there's no political solution to what's happening in Canada but also shit all over other blackpillers as defeatists and traitors. They hate Nick Fuentes (though agree with his jewsperging) but love Devon Stack. They've essentially alienated all of their temporary allies from the convoy era in a No-True-Scotsman purge (Rebel News/Ezra Levant, ClydeDoSomething, WarCampaign/Rohan Kumar Paul, Maxime Bernier and the PPC bros, MisterSunshineBaby, etc.)
Vriend & MacKenzie spent the runup to the 2025 April Carney election mostly trying to demoralize the PPC bros as not racially pure enough. So they certainly aren't advocating for a political solution.
Ferryman quit Twitter for a month or two this spring because he got tired of the Canadian RW online dissident sphere. So he's not simply a grifter (or certainly not a successful one). He implies that he has a real 9-5 job, I'm assuming in the trades.
MacKenzie has some sort of small military pension, a mortgage, presumable child support payments, etc. He is also essentially unemployable like Fuentes. He's the big fish in the small pond of the Canadian dissident RW online space, but his viewer numbers and SC revenue seems pretty meagre. He's also been chased off of YT and Twitter numerous times, so he's relegated to the smaller platforms.
Jeremy similarly bellyaches all the time that he doesn't even know why he's streaming anymore because everything is awful & corrupt, he's bored of it, it makes no difference, etc. But then on X, he pounces on randos in his replies and the replies of others that they are useless NPC sheep that VOOT and that he's actually making a difference through his latest Tyler Durden Second Sons national active clubs project.
The Second Sons active club project really casts some doubt that they are simply streamers and shitposters. In a lot of ways I admire the project, but it's curious why you'd start a national chain of Patriot Front-esque masked fitness clubs if you just wanted to fuck around and meme online. Then proceed to serially post ominous anonymous photos of your meetups online for recruitment and awareness purposes.
I don't personally think MacKenzie is a fed. I also admire that him and the Dag boys are doing SOMETHING.
But the Second Sons project is so curious on the face of it. They know anything they do is going to attract tons of glowie attention, but they are literally doing a Fight Club/militia LARP right now and goading them.
If you wanted to simply commit to fitness or hang out with the boys or even retreat into the woods and go off the grid, why wouldn't you do it quietly and locally, off camera?
