Do white supremacists like to add the word "storm" to their names?

[jmowreader]

I've been studying the sovereign citizens pretty closely, and a lot of them like to change their names: African-American sovereigns who have embraced the Moors will add "el Bey" or just one of the two words in it to their names, and Caucasian sovereigns may change their last names to "Freeman." This lets like-minded souls recognize them immediately - if you're a sovereign who calls himself "Frank Freeman" and someone introduces himself as "John Freeman" you immediately know it's safe to talk about running stop signs and getting away with it by bamboozling the cops or whatever in the hell they talk about.

I haven't been so diligent with white supremacists. Is adding "Storm" to their names popular in that world?

1. Compensation for their wussiness.

It sounds tough. Unlike them. Dickless wonders they are.

4. Or, they really want to use "Strom", but find it a bit too uncool.

"Strom" as in Strom Thurmond. "Storm" is a "cooler" version of it, maybe?

8. Strom is the German word for "electrical current"

Senator Thurmond's middle name was Strom - his mother's maiden name.

If the Illinois Nazis, or the South Carolina Nazis or wherever the hell they're from, named their group the Strom Brigade, under the theory their great power would shock the (insert the group these dangerous nutcases are pissed off about this week) into leaving the area, everyone in America who speaks no German would think they can't spell.

5. What exactly does "storm" mean to the KKKommunity?

Is it like, a "storm" of white people "uprising against the blacks" ? Or a "storm stirred by the blacks" ?

6. I think they're using Nazi references - not the halfass kind we have here, but Germany's

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung

Sturmabteilung directly translates to "storm detachment." We know them better as the Brownshirts.

"Blitzkrieg," the World War II technique of high-speed combat the Nazis used, means "lightning war" - and lightning comes during storms.

10. When I first heard his name I thought of "Der Sturmer"

This was a nazi publication in Hitler's Germany. The consonants are all the same. In Germany, you also had "The Storm Troopers."
