Today, I mean, these groups have always, you know, since the beginning of time, or the beginning of their inception, have always recruited law enforcement and military people into the ranks of the group. But now it's even more concentrated where they really are going after a lot of law enforcement and military, especially those people, veterans, who've only been in the military, Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy, whatever, for two years. They feel that if somebody's in there for more than two years, they've become loyal to the government. So you really can't. It's harder to pull them. And then at the two-year point, these people have training. They have training in weaponry and bomb making, explosives, and survival skills, all that kind of stuff, which is what these people want to prepare them.

One of the hallmarks of the Klan and outlets like the Council of Conservative Citizens is the fantasy that the system doesn't punish crimes committed by non-white people and crimes committed against white people.

The reason that this is the case is that these groups know that fear and white victimhood narratives are some of the most potent recruiting tools. Amplifying these feelings can have the effect of overriding a person's critical thinking skills and putting them into an emotional decision-making state where they're forming impressions based on a fraudulent sense of existential doom.

It's that groups, including white supremacists, see fertile radicalization grounds within these movements. And that is true.
