Unfortunately I've heard of this many times before and I don't think the far right article is a "smear job" but a pretty accurate portrayal of a subset of pagans who really do deserve the "neo-" prefix because they are neo-Nazis. This article doesn't mention the misogyny in these groups, which they share with the left SJW movement, including the Pagan left. Both left and right groups (Nazi look-alikes and SJWs) brand themselves as youth oriented. The SJWs even talk about "second wave" feminists needing to "die off" to make way for the dick-centered "inclusive" third wave. On the left, the bad mannered SJW mentality in Paganism is a spillover from a larger left political movement. I wonder if the same could said for the right.
I agree with you that far-right pagans are indeed neo-Nazis and should be treated as such. I actually wondered whether I should include that piece about far-right pagans in my news round-up as generally I prefer to give them no platform of any kind.
