Hannah Zarski (née Thompson), now Hannah Brown, went under numerous aliases to include “Hannah Pleasants,” “PrimitveXaoc,” and “FreyasReich,” and played a crucial role in on-the-ground organizing. In a conversation on Discord she detailed the parking situation for the Charlottesville event.

If there was any question as to her true ideology, a look at her Twitter and VK accounts revealed Hitler and Nazi propaganda.
