Extremist groups and individuals have become more public in the years since a violent rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, white nationalists, neo-Nazis and others clashed with counterdemonstrators, bringing hate out into the open. Members of extremist groups have joined protests against pandemic lockdowns and fighting openly with racial justice protesters. Members of the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and other extremist groups were on the frontlines of the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and have been accused of planning it. Experts who monitor the radical right say extremist ideas have spread more openly in the year since the attack.

“Extremism in America” is a five-part documentary series on the rise of domestic terrorism in the U.S. The Biden administration has warned that domestic terrorism now poses the most significant threat to the country. But for decades, there have been clear signs that far-right extremist beliefs were spreading and that right-wing extremist groups were growing more dangerous. Presented by Exploring Hate and Retro Report. New Episodes Tuesdays April 19-May 17, 2022.

  1. It is kinda sad seeing "whites" being so agressive against other groups because we feel deprived in some way. With all the history behind us… Anyway, I have been thinking what makes some groups (say Jews, Albanians…) actually do better in most cases, which enrages the previously privileged. My opinion only, but the main difference between seems to be the ability to cooperate for the common good. Jews and Albanians (though just an example) have their extended families working together to help some achieve success, then those in turn help others and so on. Also, they are often prepared to work jobs others might hink of inferiour. But someone's gotta do those, too…
    Anyway, "the West" tends to be raised in the individualistic mentality. That mentality will eventually always lose against people who cooperate. But, instead of changing ourselves, we idiotically tend to hate the ones that cooperate.

  2. Summary: Looking for a reason for the uprisings in recent years. What they found, making policy decisions based solely on a persons race is bad or evil….
    Let that be the Litmus test for any policy or decision from our government… Umm yeah, now you see the issue. The left is pushing policies that benefit non-whites… If that continues, you will continue to feed uprisings….

  3. It's scary how common talking points like the "great replacement" have become. My mom doesn't buy into most white supremacist talking points yet even she has shared videos with me about how white/christian people are being replaced as the majority in America and how we should be scared and worried about that. It's almost scarier than the rest of my family's open racism.

  4. I feel like there is an order to these videos but they have no indication other than release date.

    The previous video is unlisted and only visible via the playlist. I didn't see it until after this one.

    I hope not to frustrate the uploader with my suggestions but I think having numbers in video titles would make the whole series easier to share ensuring folks watch them in preferred order.

    Just trying to help! Great content on an important issue.

  9. The kkk was founded and run by democrats. History speaks for itself. The left were the ones opposing rights for minorities. Joe Biden praised a prominent kkk leader during his funeral. Please research this, there is a well funded propaganda campaign going on here. The media is brought and paid for. They are counting on the stupidity of people to believe their nonsense. I'm pretty sure this comment will be hidden by YouTube. The corruption is beyond belief
