Conspiracy Theories Motivate Group’s Hateful Ideology
Patriot Front recruiters typical target young men with deeply conservative beliefs, but those who fail to at least hint at a belief in the “Jewish Question” (as Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich framed it) are usually turned away, according to internal chats and the SPLC. While the group outwardly brands itself as “pro-American,” internally it propagates conspiracy theories claiming Jews secretly control the world’s economies, according to leaked chats. Patriot Front’s foremost objective is to perpetuate calls to “cleanse” the U.S. of any non-White, non-European elements and fulfill its dream of establishing a White ethnostate, according to the SPLC. As a fascist organization, it’s also ideologically opposed to democracy. The group’s manifesto states the “time of the Republic has passed in America” and that democracy “has failed in this once-great nation.”
