Online Neo-Nazis Are Increasingly Embracing Terror Tactics
“Simply put, we want to funnel Fascists to the site, get acquainted with them, and then help them get in contact with other Fascists in their area so they can meet up and form their own local groups & networks,” reads Mathias’ post. “The site will provide these local groups with the ability to communicate among themselves without the worry of censorship or attacks by the enemy in addition to a plethora of online resources.”
Among other neo-Nazi chatter on the forum, there is an entire section with manuals on how to make homemade weapons; a guide promoting the militaristic tactics of ethnic cleansing; a how-to on disposing of a body; descriptions on the best weapon to use in an urban firefight scenario and how to pull off an attack the likes of the DC sniper attacks of 2002. Recently, a condensed copy of David Myatt’s Practical Guide to the Aryan Revolution was added to the site—the text has been cited as being a direct influence in numerous right-wing terrorist attacks over in the past 20 years.
In order to become a member of the site, Fascist Forge requires new users to pass a membership exam. The exam consists of 26 essay style questions ranging from the overtly racist, “what are your thoughts on the Jews” to the more abstract: “how is Truth distinguished from falsehood?” Most questions center around Nazism, fascism, and racism. The exam is graded by Mathias and the results are posted in a section only available to users.
The exam serves as a pipeline to radicalization for new recruits. In order to pass, new members need to read the fascist reading list available on the site, which consists of radical writings by James Mason (the founder of Siege culture and something of a cultural godfather to Atomwaffen Division), George Lincoln Rockwell—the founder of the American Nazi party—and Slavros.
