I saw the documentary White Right recently. It taught me to see white nationalists as angsty teens going through a “fuck the world” stage. The main differences are (1) they never grew out of it, and (2) as adults, they’ve linked up into an awkward club.
Welcome to Leith hits this point home, too. ...but I think it's important to look at white nationalism as a whole meaning-to-life package: community, an enemy, a mission. Looking at lot of these people, I wonder how many other options they had for that
There's also really no escape hatch once you take on an affiliation like that, especially in the internet era. Imagine trying to rebuild your life if there were footage of you proudly & casually using racial slurs. If you hadn't had options before... welp.
Yeah no kidding. I imagine it’s similar in some ways to the recovery of a serious addict: lots of amend-making, liberally owning up to past mistakes for the rest of your life, etc. Not an easy road.
I think Eric Hoffer ("True Believer") would argue that most mass movements are the product of individual insecurities/anxieties. The actual cause, while primary from a political perspective, is secondary at the level of the individual.
