Answering Your Questions About My Time Inside the Alt-Right

By PATRIK HERMANSSON | Sep 27th 2017

What I learned from infiltrating extremist groups.

"The international alt-right has, at its core, the explicit rejection of equality and the pursuit of identity and status for white men who feel aggrieved. As you suggest, one part is racism and the belief that white people overall are threatened by multiculturalism. But more specifically white men are those they consider repressed. The alt-right believes the world should be ordered into strict hierarchies. That includes the belief that strict traditional gender roles are natural. Therefore, they fight against what they think is the emasculating effect of feminism."

These are not nice people.
