The communists are definitely the heroes in the first book, but in a very Russian way, they fit more of the tropes of the dashing mosfilm frontovik than any ideological commitments, it's a no brainer they are the good guys.

The Nazis in Metro want to genocide everyone they think is genetically inferior, so no matter how antagonistic they are to Artyom, the communists are doing more to defend the underground than any other faction.

what's interesting is that Blood & Honour first emerged in the U.K. -- which makes me wonder whether some South African neo-Nazis moved to the U.K. and got involved and that's where they picked it up.

A good guess, but I don't think so. B&H revived several classical emblems, and knowing boneheads, they probably just opened a picture book and selected the ones that looked hardest.

However, there were very likely white S. africans in BNP whom B&H openly associated with, so I guess it's not impossible.

That's what Metro denizens guess is the reason that there are harmful ghosts living there. Obviously nobody knows for sure, but they theorize that the war was so devastating that it destroyed the afterlife and now all spirits are forced to roam the blasted wasteland.

Okay, so in the books it gets more complicated and stranger. It's heavily implied in Metro 2034 that in the civil war both the reds and the whites enlisted extra-dimensional beings, the communist's entities took up residence in the glass stars above the Red Square. The war changed them, and now echoes of emotion are preserved in the metro (which was probably haunted before the war anyway). You can communicate with them, but only in Vedic Sanskrit.

Yes, but the communists are definitely over-idealistic, ready to spring out into the new world and rebuild it with communist idealism, all while ignoring the actual survival needs of their population.

I registered specifically for the purpose of passing along this info after lurking this thread for ages, but I may chime in from time to time in the future.

I found some pretty funny info about Stephen Miller's father. It would appear that he is a racist, nudist, potentially philandering, violent man. Please see below for details and links showing how I found and validated this information:

His parents names are in Wikipedia and elsewhere. Wiki lists his dad as Michael D. Miller, but further searching shows that his full name is Michael Darrow Miller:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Miller_(political_advisor)

http://marycumminsrealestatemarycummins.blogspot.com/search/label/stephen%20miller

This is the preview page for his dad on one of those skeezer public info sites. It gives his email and mentions relations to his mom, stephen, and a bunch of the family's known addresses:

https://www.fastpeoplesearch.com/michael-d-miller_id_G1617462225824682752

Searching that email leads to the nudist forum where he posts multiple messages giving out his email, including the one asking a woman who wasn't his wife on a nude hike:

https://deepcreekhotsprings.net//dchs/forum/read.php?1,10966,10988

As additional proof, he owns this company, Cordary(also the company that holds title to Stephen Miller's million dollar DC condo):

http://www.buzzfile.com/business/Cordary-Inc-310-253-5494

where one of the associated emails via reversemails/Makelia associated with his name/company is the same email prefix, bmiller826, at another domain:

https://makelia.com/record.php?unique=Michael_Miller_58a2b5d90f06a

In addition, you can find more interesting stuff in his father's posting history including posts trashing Mexico, advocating violence, advocating government land conservation, and talking about how rich he is:

https://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/search.php?1,author=296,match_type=USER_ID,match_dates=0,match_threads=0

Some of that interesting stuff is these racist posts:

1. "If you have such a problem with environmental laws then you have two choices. Either you should change the law, through lobbying or electing yourself to office, or you should find yourself a society that does not agree with these policies, maybe in Mexico or something. I hear they don't care about their land as much. Until then don't bitch." is said in the post at https://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/read.php?1,10753,10761#msg-10761

2. "please call the local authorities with the information, the one crime that always needs punishment is murder, and i like thinking the united states isnt mexico." is said by Miller's father in the post at https://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/read.php?1,10897,10903#msg-10903

In addition, in this post he advocates violence as a solution to problems at the nudist site and states that he might partake in it:

https://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/read.php?1,10966,10967#msg-10967

"I am leaving right now for the springs, and god help me if the wasteful element's white cooler trash is not picked up by me so no one else is bothered.... seriously, leaving the parts to a cooler down there??? IF there still there I think I might just start beating the crap out of them with my friends, they should be taught a lesson and send crawling back up the canyon"

You should send this info to web-based media outlets if you haven't already. Posting it on these dead gay forums seems like such a waste, when I'm sure Vox or Buzzfeed would have a field day with it.

Thanks for the ideas. I tried the ex-Gawker sites and Huffpo way back when I found it. One of them strung me along for awhile, but then said the info was too old. Hopefully, these places are more interested. If anyone knows anyone who might actually want to publicize this, feel free to send it along to them. I don't care at all about getting credit. I just want to bum out Stephen Miller in whatever way is possible.

Thanks. I tried her Huffpo addy back in January and got no response, but I just resent the info to her protonmail on the off chance that she didn't get it.

The Root never got back to me back then when I was originally trying to shop it. I sent it to Michael Harriott specifically today because he seems like the coolest person there.

Miller is very ghosty online. It almost seems like he planned on being in the public eye from a really young age and was smart online early on. His generic name helps him too.

They've actually ganked up the reverseemail and background check links since I originally found them back in December. The reverseemail one can be found at this address now as they seem to have been taken over by someone else: https://makelia.com/record.php?unique=Michael_Miller_58a2b5d90f06a

And this link establishes the bmiller@aol.com to replace that one. I'm going to edit the original post to reflect these:
