Why Focus On Youth
Victims and persons accused of police-reported hate crimes, by age group, 2009
Source: Statistics Canada
“Recruit Skins or covert activists from Punk Rockers and from the group of disaffected White kids who feel “left out,” isolated, unpopular, or on the fringe or margin of things at school (outsiders, loners). There are some very effective people among such kids, and working with Nazi skinheads will give them a sense of accomplishment, attainment, success, and belonging.”

Radicalization:
an increase in and/or reinforcing of extremism in the thinking, sentiments, and/or behavior of individuals and/or groups of individuals.

Mechanisms of Radicalization
Based on Mechanisms of Political Radicalization by Clark McCauley and Sophia Moskaleno
The Slippery Slope
“There’s times I’ve said to myself, ‘Why? You’re mad in the head, like.’ But… I just can’t turn my back on it . . . there’s too many of my friends in jail, there’s too many of my mates given their lives, and I’ve walked behind – I’ve walked behind too many funerals to turn my back on it now.”

Targeted Hate
As Inferior
“Negro culture is not merely different from White culture; it is a less advanced culture and, by practically any standard, inferior. It is a culture which never advanced to the point of a written language or a civilized society. It never saw even the barest glimmerings of mathematics or the invention of the wheel.”
“The Other”
“You cannot turn primitive, low IQ savages into First World whites. If these aboriginals had the mental wherewithal to build a great civilization, they would. But they do not because they cannot.”
As Threat
“The Other”
The Glorious Past
“… revealed in this work is the one true cause of the rise and fall of the world’s greatest empires – that all civilizations rise and fall according to their racial homogeneity and nothing else.”
The Glorious Past
“The Muslim lands, where the future Caliphate will be re-established over, covers a huge area from Spain in the west all the way to Indonesia in the East.”
“Slavery had a pernicious impact on White people in America, corrupting those classes who owned slaves and harming those Whites who did not… Its real damage has been that it placed a people in our midst who as agroup have little aptitude for our technology, no empathy with our culture, no adulation for our history and heroes, and no love for us, only resentment for perceived past wrongs.”
“I say, ‘Did you ever own a slave? Did you ever kill an Indian? So why are they trying to make you feel guilty for being White?’ Before they can answer I’d start telling them about ZOG.”
“Because Islam is a hateful and violent ideology which preaches hate and violence against ALL non-Muslims (especially Jews, as it is obsessed with us, and dehumanizes us as apes and pigs), we are against ALL mosques.”
Victimhood
The Coming Conflict
Divine or Natural Sanction
“God who made our Father –who is Adam, the perfect man – is Father to all of the White Northern European Men.We are descended from God and not from the Devil, as are all other men in the world.”

Misinformation
Techniques
“It is often very difficult to approach the subject of white pride or racial integrity. “What is your reason for home schooling?” they may ask. Of course, you know that it is because you are sick and tired of your kids being told to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. or to glorify homosexuals and their lifestyle. You don’t like your children’s school – day in and day out anti-white propaganda.”

Cultures of Hatred

Who would be proud to be Muslim?
Who is this faggot?
He’s trying to die to get his 72 virgins.
I’m trying to kill the Muslim.
Yay. The Muslim’s dead.
Quit gaying up our game.
I ain’t playing with a fag. Fags ruined this country.
Run, gayboy, run!

Where did all the doggies and kitty cats go
Since the gold farmers started to show
Don’t want to know what’s in that egg roll
Not supposed to be here anyway
I don’t know any other way to convey
How much we wish you’d all just go away

Hi. I was on my character 'LartinMuther' I know, cheesy parody, hosting a guild in honor of MLK day and non-discrimination. Two people, 'Knox' and 'Larigodan', entered my phase AND whispered me, spamming "WHITE POWER" and "N-----" (racial slur I refuse to repeat).

“A much more likely, and more pernicious risk to young people from hate speech online than either mobilizing or recruiting them into extremist white supremacist groups, is… its ability to change how we know what we say we know about issues that have been politically hard won.”
