Fire Sale on T-Shirts / Totes Because of British Business Problems
We've been working with a UK-based warehouse fulfillment center to handle merch now that Nate lives in Switzerland and Joe's in the Netherlands. We just found out that this company is going bankrupt. Whoops!

He talks about why he is fighting in Ukraine and how he feels about the fact that there are also Armenians in the ranks of the Russian armed forces.

History of Armenia 37: Armenia's Sad, Pathetic, Neo Nazi Movement
In January 2024, a small group of Neo Nazis marched through the streets of Yerevan. The group calls themselves Hosank. They couch their beliefs in Armenian history, using Armenian symbols and terminology. But, the message they are delivering isn't Armenian at all.
Hosank's leader, Hayk Nazarian is from California, and he has imported the very online, 4chan brain-poisoned brand of Far Right Extremism into a very much not online country, unprepared with how to deal with it.
