Kyle Chapman

Kyle Chapman also known by the nickname Based Stickman, is an American white nationalist and activist. He earned his nickname and prominence in some kind of what they call an "Alt-Right" movement after he was recorded beating an anti-Fascist counter-protester with a stick at the March 2017 March 4 Trump rally in Berkeley, California. Shortly after, he founded the Fraternal Order of the Alt-Knights (FOAK), a paramilitary group that was considered to be a partner or subgroup of the Proud Boys. He led the FOAK until later that year, when he faded from his leadership position due to assault. In November 2020, Chapman announced a plan to take over the Proud Boys group, as well as a plan to reform the group as a white nationalist organization. The attempt to make them pro white only was not successful.
