Using fitness and sports as an entry points to their neo-Nazi ideologies, ‘youth club’ chapters are proliferating across US (www.theguardian.com)

So-called “active clubs” have proliferated across the US and are a combination of fitness and mixed martial arts groups that often espouse neo-Nazi and fascist ideologies, openly taking their historical cues from the Third Reich’s obsession with machismo and European soccer hooliganism.

Active clubs have emerged as perhaps the most dangerous form of far-right political organizing today.
