Paul Ray Ramsey (also known as ramzpaul and RamZPaul, born 1963) is an American far-right vlogger, YouTube personality, and public speaker.[1][2][3]
The New York Times has described Ramsey as a "popular alt-right internet personality",[4] and the Swiss newspaper Basellandschaftliche Zeitung identified him as an important representative of the alt-right.[5] Media Matters for America, The Forward, and the Southern Poverty Law Center have called Ramsey a white nationalist.[6][7][8] He spoke at the 2013 conference held by the online magazine American Renaissance.[8] Ramsey replied to a question posed by Matthew Heimbach at the conference about the creation of a whites only state: "We need to Balkanize and create our own homeland. We have a right to exist."[9][better source needed]
According to journalist Philipp Löpfe [de], Ramsey uses comedy to convey a far-right message.[10]
Activities
Ramsay began pseudonymously posting YouTube videos under the handle RamZPaul starting in 2009. He posted humorous video rants. By 2016, Ramsay had added a larger amount of explicitly alt-right content to his channel, such as the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory.[11]
In November 2016, Ramsey was a featured speaker at a conference held by the white supremacist National Policy Institute (NPI). The NPI was founded by Richard B. Spencer, who also is generally credited with coining the term alt-right.[12] After video emerged of several conference attendees giving the Nazi salute during a speech by Spencer, Ramsey disassociated himself from the NPI founder, as well as the term alt-right, saying, "You don't want to tie your brand to something that's ultimate evil."[12][13] Ramsey was listed as a speaker for the 2018 Awakening conference in Helsinki, a self-described "ethno-nationalist" conference.[14][15]
