Neema Parvini (AKA Academic Agent) is a YouTuber and academic with a large international following. He has held positions at Richmond American University and the University of Surrey, specialising in Shakespeare, before being let go due to his far-right activism.

Parvini’s views are extreme and he has espoused racist pseudo-science. For example, he has tweeted that “blacks are closer to homo erectus” and that black and white people are “different species”. Parvini also frequently quotes the fascist philosopher Julius Evola, describing his racist screed “Negrified America” as “obviously correct”. His recommended reading list includes works by the American fascist ideologue Francis Parker Yockey and the Kiwi Holocaust denier Kerry Bolton. “If you ask me one of the huge concerns in politics right now,” he said in November 2025, “is the influence of that little country over our politics.”

Parvini has argued elsewhere that to recreate “rightwing victories in mid-century Europe”, there is a need for “street-level supremacy [..] an underground army to fight back. People who don’t care if they go to jail.” In case his reference to “rightwing victories in mid-century Europe” was too vague, Parvini clarified it in follow-up posts: “fascists and Germans faced a two-tier system back then. Modern SA [Sturmabteilung] has to be so many boots on the ground police won’t touch them”.

Parvini has monetised his commentary on current far-right topics and sells premium subscriptions with additional content. While his degrees and academic work were all in the area of literature, he sells online courses to his followers in the area of economics, politics, mathematics and physics, as well as writing.

He has spoken at a range of far-right conferences. These included the Traditional Britain Group in 2022 and 2023, Nomos in London alongside Colin Robertson (AKA Millennial Woes), and Scyldings alongside Carl Benjamin (AKA Sargon of Akkad) and Curtis Yarvin. Despite his extreme connections, Parvini was also interviewed by then-Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg on GB News in March 2024 to discuss social cohesion and plug his latest book.

In 2024, an undercover investigation by HOPE not hate revealed Parvini was in talks with Matthew Frost and Erik Ahrens of the Human Diversity Foundation (now Polygenic Scores) about setting up a far-right think tank to launder extreme ideas. Later that year, Parvini’s website underwent a design rebrand, listing him as the “director” of his website, Academic Agency. Parvini teaches a seminar at the University of Buckingham, and runs a course via the Lotus Eaters website.
