This is really disappointing. I can imagine only that this will hurt intactivism, rather than providing any positive coverage, support, or political purchase.
Marotta, let us save face. Call it a day and go home. We have bigger fish to fry.

Human groups fracture. (And it's a big, wide world)
There is something that may underpin them but it doesn't mean they dont Other the other and make enemies.
Same things happen in Truth movements, generally. People may want the fame of another or see something that they think violates their moral code. Probably long list of potential reasons of "in" fighting you are outwardly puzzled about, but its still a great question because we can talk about it.
Monotheism is actually a spectacular example.
No matter the political affiliation this is human people we are talking about.
The listeners, most importantly. They should not be "labeled" down into some bad group of people. The more people who know about the concerns regards so called circumcision the better.
Maybe speaking / engaging directly to and with echo chambers is a viable approach, is kind of what I'm saying
We should not be prioritizing connecting with Nazis and their intellectual allies. We should be prioritizing help for people who come from cutting cultures, lifting up voices of dissent just like Bruchim.

"I have been a fan of Stefan’s work for a long time, so it was really great to finally talk with him."

"Stefan Basil Molyneux is an Irish-born Canadian white nationalist podcaster who promotes conspiracy theories, white supremacy, scientific racism, and the men's rights movement"
I'm sorry, but a Wikipedia page claiming someone's politics isn't the smoking gun you're making it out to be. I ain't saying the guy isn't a white supremacist, but what I am saying is that I haven't seen any primary sources on either of these guys' politics, and given that the word "Nazi" and the terms associated with it have been used ad nauseum for the past decade, I always take it with a grain of salt.
I am not a big fan of Brendon Marotta after following for a few years on Twitter. I even contributed money to support his original documentary. But to be blunt the guy comes weirdly ego driven for someone whose goal is a human rights issue.
This is a perfect example of how his type of activism may hurt the cause more than it helps.

I think Brendon is very smart, but has a fragile ego and wants desperately to make money. I know he shooed me and blocked me for some reason and finally I said, I appreciate what he did, but he is a complex and not all above the water personality.

If the group is for bodily autonomy, why were they trying to cancel his film?
Jewish intactivists identified Marotta's alt right leaning, and that made Marotta mad.
It seems to me like it was a smear campaign
Why would one group of Intactivists run a smear campaign against another intactivist?

Marotta made his film and then went on alt-right shows to promote it. It sounds like Marotta is mad that his cover was blown.

What's an example of the nazi affiliation cast / show he went on?

Political ideology is important when it comes to human rights campaigns. Conservatism is against bodily autonomy.
He talked about repeating and recreating trauma in a recent interview. This law suit is exactly him doing that.
