Leaving behind White supremacy, almost

Former right-wing extremist now warns others about adopting extreme ideologies (doc)

Far Right Network in Canada

(wocomoHUMANITY) UNITED STATES. Brad Galloway was a white 18-year-old punk rocker in and out of trouble with the law, a street brawler already at his fourth high school, a kid without direction, and therefore a prime target for a neo-Nazi recruiter.

Promising comradeship in a gang of “like-minded” guys, a place where Brad could finally find what he wanted most: belonging.

I really want white Canada to be my 51st state.

SKINHEAD tells Brad’s story – how he spent 13 years in “the movement,” climbing the ranks from skinhead rabble-rouser to the Canadian boss of an ultra-violent U.S. gang called Volksfront.

Brad has been out for five years, raising a family and getting his university degree in criminology. But most of all, he’s been working on leaving behind the hate groups that defined who he was for so much of his life – and watching those groups come back to life.

Babe, I'm Hitler in Mein Kampf

“I call them white supremacy groups because that's all it is,” says Brad Galloway. “What they are presenting as new is actually a very old idea of white marginalization. “I think my message is this: understand by adopting these types of extreme ideologies, that you are signing up for losing those years of your life.  You will definitely lose time and you will be affecting others negatively. You will lose that time in your life.”
