About Kyle Chapman (American activist) in brief
Kyle Chapman, also known as Based Stickman, is an American white nationalist and alt-right activist. He earned his nickname after he was recorded beating an anti-fascist counter-protester with a stick at the March 2017 March 4 Trump rally in Berkeley, California. In 2017, he founded the Fraternal Order of the Alt-Knights, a paramilitary group that is considered a partner or subgroup of the far-right, neo-fascist Proud Boys organization. In November 2020, Chapman announced an attempted takeover of the Proud Boys, as well as a plan to reform the group as an explicitly white supremacist organization. The attempted coup is not believed to have been successful. Chapman has described himself as a ‘Proud American Nationalist’ and a ‘ardent’ supporter of Donald Trump. He has also founded an organization called Resist Marxism in Boston, Massachusetts, which claimed to be non-violent and not racist, but was generally described as an alt-lite group.
He was scheduled to speak at the Boston Free Speech Coalition’s Boston Free speech Rally on August 19, 2017, but the event was ended early due to a 40,000-person counter- Protester. On November 9, Chapman said he would’reassume the post of President of the United States’ if Donald Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election was confirmed. He reapplied to join the Proud Boy organization in October 2020, but he was denied membership. Despite not having been involved with the group for several years, Chapman is shown in a video retreating from the fight after being slashed in the abdomen. In a video of the incident, he is shown fleeing from the scene after being stabbed during an altercation with Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio.
