Part of why these guys become committed fascists in the first place is because they're terrified of being humiliated by the in-group. They've just replaced the social norms of society with the norms of the cult.

It was, IIRC, the Nazi magazine that was run by some kind of predecessor of Atomwaffen.

Siege the book is a collection of all the articles published by the Siege zine from 1980-86. They were all written by James Mason, a radical neo-nazi who synthesized Nazi ideology with Charles Manson's praxis. Every time a racially motivated murder or act of violence happened, it was celebrated in the pages of Siege, because every random act of violence would slowly but surely undo the social bonds of the liberal capitalist system and open the door for race war.

It's rated 4/5 stars on Goodreads, and here's a quote from one of the top reviews.

quote:

From what I have been told Mason has since done time for having sex with underage girls and become a Jesus freak so he isn't exactly the most stable or virtuous person but that doesn't change the fact that Siege is a great book.

Denying everything claimed by defectors is what cults do to maintain their cultivated image to the outside world. Except a typical cult would be more diplomatic in public.

Considering all the Hare Krishna Kali worship, I think they're mostly infatuated with the apocalyptic death cult aspect and only adopt right wing communism and Nazism as an aesthetic to draw in recruits.

Arthurs told the detective, “In hindsight, it’s very stupid what I’ve done and honestly it feels like… all of this feels surreal. Like a dream if that makes sense.”

Investigators believe Arthurs also had neo-Nazi beliefs until he converted to Islam. It was shortly after that change that he no longer saw eye to eye with his roommates.

After investigators discovered Oneschuck and Himmelman’s body, they found a cache of weapons, ammunition and chemicals that could be used to make destructive devices. Arthurs told detectives that is exactly what his roommates had planned.

Arthurs: “Nothing had been constructed yet, but this is clearly stuff lined up for the explosives there.”

Detective: “So that was the purpose of these items?”

Arthurs: “That was the entire purpose of them.”

Detective: “You guys don’t build model rockets and set them off in the back of the …. fireworks or Fourth of July?”

Arthurs: “No, none of that. It’s all there specifically to kill people.”

Oh God. I've played a ton of war games so yeah. HUNDREDS. (Actually not really.)

quote:

While some Wehraboos are neo-nazis, this is usually not the case. Wehraboos are better compared to fanboys, who have been influenced by computer games, comic books, television documentaries, and low-quality history websites and books. Sources that conflict with their view will be dismissed as Allied propaganda or countered with more sources of poor quality. They are frequently found on Internet forums, particularly those dedicated to action-based computer games.
Perfect.

I never really payed much attention to them, and still haven't. I somehow stumbled across one on Facebook awhile ago. I thought, is this a Nazi? It was like a major hobby for him, and he had built a model version of the Schwerer Gustav, the ginormous railway cannon built for the Wehrmacht, for his dad's birthday or something like that, since his dad was also into it. Then I look at his profile and the only thing even remotely political at all was some Bernie stuff. It's fine, y'know, provided they're not promoting the Clean Wehrmacht myth (they often promote the Clean Wehrmacht myth).

That encourages me because so many online war games, if the Third Reich is an option, then the players will zerg rush into joining the Axis side. I will always pick the Allied side on general gameplay balance principles and not just because the German side tends to also attract people with names like [MAGA]Pepe_Hauptmann ... although that might increasingly be part of the reason.

As someone who has models of aircraft with swastikas on the tail* and hangs out in the milhist thread, I can tell you 'it varies' and 'the venn diagrams sometimes overlap.'

There's a lot of people out there who are just interested in history, and World War 2 and particularly the Third Reich are extremely accessible subjects. In fact, the wehraboo thing likely started at least partially because of the history being accessible and bias (sometimes subtle, sometimes not) creeping into it. There was a narrative for a long time that the Third Reich was placed in the pop culture position of being the good guys, believe it or not: they were fighting the losing battle against an enemy that 1) didn't value human life and 2) won just by zerg rushing. The Germans lasted as long as they did because they were far superior fighters, and their equipment was far better. (Fetishization of German tanks - particularly the big cat tanks is typically a sign of wehrabooism.) This of course is deceptive bullshit, but it falls into the modern moralizing narrative style, and for not great thinkers they get pulled under by it.

*Swastikas are typically not included in model kits - you have to buy 'em separately, mostly because they are illegal in Germany. The decal sheet I ordered - from a company who's logo is some naked lady nose art - has a special disclaimer at the top. It said "we made these swastikas because they are standard marking on all Nazi German aircraft from 1933 to 1945. We do not endorse the Third Reich, its members, or its actions in any way; gently caress them."

Skyrim was so badly written that it leaves open the possibility of roleplaying as a white supremacist.

Anyway, Zero Books just did another video that's front-loaded with a commentary on the Cathy Newman/Jordan Peterson interview, and the rest delves into how the sloganeering in Kill All Others reflects a society whose politics have become so simple that people can be easily swayed by the most trite change of rhetoric. It just kept making me think of that Jordan Peterson merch store full of shirts with his three word Dadisms printed on them.
