A new website called FashMaps charts the locations of purported neo-Nazis, primarily across the US, but also in Canada, Australia, South America and other areas.

“FashMaps is a tool for studying the presence of fascism around the world,” reads the description of the website, which was unveiled at the end of January.

One map is titled “Nazis in your neighborhood.”

“This map is an ongoing project to study the presence of fascism around the world,” reads an accompanying text. It states that most of the locations shown are not precise.

All of the information is collected from the publicly available message boards of the American neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer. The site’s message boards remained active even after the site was shut down in August 2017, when it sparked outrage by insulting the victim of the far-right “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
