Movements like white nationalism consist of “principled fanatics and joiners,” Buckby told Triggernometry. “A joiner is someone who’s devoid of any sort of ideology, it’s someone who’s an outcast, they’re vulnerable, they don’t have much going in their life and looking for community.” He, however, was a “principled fanatic.”
“I joined because I saw real-world problems,” he explained. He listed the horrific Muslim “grooming gangs” that rape Western women in European countries.
“Extremism isn’t created in the void. You see a real problem — grooming gangs, immigration is too high … and you join pretty much anyone who’s willing to talk about it,” Buckby explained.
The cycle of radicalization “starts with negligent politicians” unwilling to discuss the issues, making concerned citizens grow frustrated. Then the media, which “should be a check on the politicians,” start “calling the working-class people racist.”
Then the exasperated citizens go out in the street to get the media to pay attention to their message, and “the far-left activists break your window or something or smash your head with a bike lock.”
“It’s backing you into a corner,” Buckby explained.
This vicious cycle led him to embrace white nationalism and worse, but he said the movement turned on him. He mentioned having family who suffered in the Holocaust, and other white nationalists thought he was Jewish. They were “completely authoritarian about European identity,” he said.
