Neo-Nazi Teenagers Across America Starting Their Own Active Clubs




https://globalextremism.org/post/neo-nazi-teenagers/

Across the U.S., a troubling youth movement has emerged in the last few months, targeting teenagers aged 15-18, and mimicking the white supremacist Active Club (AC) movement. This “Youth Clubs” network, consisting of at least 19 chapters representing 42 states, engages in the same real-world activism as the ACs, including MMA training, spreading neo-Nazi propaganda in public spaces, and attempting to recruit members online, including on TikTok.

Emerging in 2022, the Active Club movement is a white supremacist transnational network of “sports clubs” first conceptualized by American neo-Nazi Robert Rundo and Russian neo-Nazi Denis Kapsutin, the latter a key MMA organizer who is banned from the Schengen Area in the European Union for his track record of hate and violence. Active Clubs are small white supremacist cells, operating under Rundo’s “White Nationalism 3.0” model, working at the local level and collaborating with numerous racist groups, including those with a penchant for violence, such as the Proud Boys, White Lives Matter (WLM), and Patriot Front in the United States, Action Française and Identitarian groups in France, and the Hammerskins in Canada, Sweden, and Germany, creating alliances that strengthen the white supremacist movement globally. Shortly before Donald Trump’s inauguration, Active Clubs across the country called on him to follow through on his promise to conduct a mass migrant deportation operation.

Now teenagers are getting in on the act. The majority of Youth Clubs created channels on Telegram between February and June 2025, with a few set up in 2024. According to a post by an umbrella account for Youth Clubs, titled “United Youth,” created on February 24, 2025, Youth Clubs are a “network of pro social young white men nationwide” that act as an “activist,” “nationalist,” and “fraternal and fitness network.” At the time of publishing, Youth Clubs indicate that they only accept members between the ages of 15 and 18, and operate under the belief that “our (white) people are dying off and we are growing up in a world which does not care for us,” referring to the racist, and deadly, “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory, which, like the regular Active Clubs, serves as an ideological framework for activism. Youth Clubs believe that “Jews,” “liberal sycophants and homosexuals” are all responsible for these supposed problems, and act to “fight back against these great globalist evils.” United Youth also shared a quote by Rundo about starting the Rise Above Movement (RAM), a violent street gang which had members arrested for their actions during the racist Unite the Right riots in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Local Youth Club chapters, such as the Pacific North West (PNW) Youth Club and New England Youth Club, are explicitly neo-Nazi. The PNW Youth Club, in an introductory post made on June 30, 2024, claimed to be “a National Socialist activist group based in the United States wanting to gain members in the Pacific Northwest.” Under the heading “What do we believe,” PNW Youth said “We must secure a future for the white youth in The Pacific Northwest and bring about a safe future for our children,” which is a modified version of the white supremacist 14 words slogan (“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”), coined by American neo-Nazi terrorist David Lane. The New England Youth Club posted a quote by Adolf Hitler from the annual Nazi party rally in 1935: “He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.”

Their motto should be, "Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi Party". Thank you Mel Brooks from "The Producers" and their stage play, "Springtime for Hitler"...

...lost me at socialism. Yet another thing for parents to worry about and look out for with respect to their kiddos and online stuff. I remain convinced that social media will kill us all.

Emboldened and inspired by the fascist Trump regime, no doubt.
