This book looks at how young people get attracted to the Far Right,
especially young white men. We may never know why a young
individual ends up there, yet two things are obvious. First, Far
Right propaganda appeals to the fantasy imagination and to the
emotions. Second, supporting the Far Right is a decision often made
by digitally-networked 15-25 year olds looking for answers and
wanting to express their anger. However, many later become aware of
a yawning gulf between the ideal future they envisioned, and what
happens in the here and now. Accounts of the Far Right often focus
on terrorist events, plots or extreme acts of violence. However,
the emphasis here is on rather ordinary young people and how they
get involved in a social movement that promises adventure and
belonging. The aim is to better understand how their hate practices
are framed and channeled by the persuasive discourse of the Far
Right.
