Ex-Nazi: “Intellectual Dark Web” is a gateway drug to fascism

Christian Picciolini, a former neo-Nazi turned antifascist author and deprogrammer, talks with David Pakman about racist and sexist garbage science, and how it serves as a point of entry into much more radical, outright fascist politics. He also tells what got him out of the Nazi cult — namely, having to sell more than “white power” records to make ends meet, and being forced to interact on a human level with the very people the Nazi cult had taught him to view as subhuman. His solution of choice? Better education…to get to alienated young people BEFORE they can turn into fascists. And “filling the potholes” in people’s social needs, too. In other words: Prevention is better than cure.
