'It takes a type of man that is excited by exploitation.' 'Instead of having a conversation with someone powerful or someone that is at an equal level to him chooses to approach someone that doesn't threaten him,' she said, suggesting that targeting children is an 'ego boost' for neo-Nazis. She compared them to child predators who 'lure kids with candy at playgrounds.' Hategan said people like Anglin are basically hawking the same propaganda that an older generation of white supremacists used, but in a new package involving racist and anti-Semitic internet memes. Hategan was a victim of abuse while growing up and felt isolated, which made her a prime candidate for recruitment into the white supremacy movement, she told Newsweek. His mom told me that he's actually Jewish 'on both sides' of his family: #AltRight Weev of Daily Stormer has been calling for the murder of Jewish children. Hategan, who is now 43, became a poster child for Heritage Front, Canada's largest white supremacist group, at the age of 16. The idea of neo-Nazis recruiting disaffected 11-year-olds-who are legally too young to see recent Star Wars films in the theater without supervision-may leave some feeling disgusted, but targeting children for hate groups is nothing new, according to Elisa Hategan, the author of Race Traitor, a memoir of her life inside of a hate movement. Auernheimer could not be reached for comment.Īnglin declined an opportunity to comment for this article, but Cantwell told Newsweek: 'I wish I had read Mein Kampf -my life would have turned out better.' Cantwell is currently under house arrest in Virginia on two felony charges for allegedly using tear gas and pepper spray at the Charlottesville rally. 'I think he's being quite sincere about these things,' he added. Keegan Hankes, an intelligence analyst with Southern Poverty Law Center, told Newsweek that Auernheimer was likely 'fully aware' of what he was doing in calling for violence. The site has also posted rants from Andrew 'Weev' Auernheimer appearing to call for the wholesale slaughter of Jewish people. It regularly posts propagandistic lies about the genocide of the Jewish people during World War II, claiming no such thing ever happened. 'When you think about the number of listens and hits that we get.we have created a movement among the youth that we're not even able gauge the size of.'ĭaily Stormer essentially serves as the homepage of the anti-Semitic alt-right movement, which has been linked to a number of violent crimes in recent months. Over the next five years, you're going to see an entire generation coming into their 20s that are on board with all of this,' Anglin bragged about his neo-Nazi beliefs.

'Did that kid say he was 14? You've got this coming up now.

'Our goal has to be to give this to teenagers and even before teenagers.'Īnglin, who in addition to praising terrorists has repeatedly promoted violence against young women and girls, used the opportunity to boast how he had targeted young children for recruitment into hate groups. Cantwell seemed to grow nervous while talking to the boy, asserting that the show was meant only for entertainment, but Anglin quickly embraced the listener. The boy praised Anglin, 33, and Cantwell, 37, as being influential on him, adding: 'I'm sitting next to a bookshelf with Mein Kampf,' referring to the autobiography of Adolf Hitler. Cantwell later took a call from a boy claiming to be 14 years old. Anglin's remark was part of a discussion about how memes are used by neo-Nazis to 'indoctrinate' children into sharing their beliefs.
