Why Do People Support National Socialism?
If We Don't Know - We Can NEVER Reduce It. For many, understanding why anyone can support National Socialism can be very hard to understand—especially given the fact that under Hitler, National Socialists were responsible for the death of many thousands of British People. Yet Far-Right Extremists who claim to be British Patriots, do in fact support National Socialism and this country to live under this regime. To understand the reason why—we must first realise that National

My Journey Into The Far-Right
One thing we need to understand is that one may find their way into the far-right as a response to a lack of something in their lives. A lack of attention, affection or company. For me it was a bit of each. The far-right was not only a tool for me to escape reality, but it was also a way for me to enter a world where I thought I felt powerful. A person that doesn't have any mental health issues does not find themselves inside of a telegram channel discussing the most atrocio

It's OK To Be Patriotic!
Patriotism Is About Place, Not Race! There seems to be a great misunderstanding when it comes to the topic of Patriotism—something that we at EXIT are seeking to rectify. The Far-Right would encourage and suggest that the definition of Patriotism would refer to Racial topics and subjects—however the reality is certainly different. The British Tradition of Patriotism is in fact best likened to the celebrations we saw throughout the period of 2012—during the Olympic Games as ho

Questions Matter........
When a child, or any loved one, becomes involved with the Extreme Right Wing (ERW), the situation is incredibly challenging. Often, the difficulties begin with the erosion of your relationship, which precedes the open conflicts about your differing views and the moment you recognise their extremist involvement. If you suspect your loved one is involved in extremism, UK government and safeguarding advice recommends focusing on open-ended and non-judgmental questions. The p

Filling The Void..............Nature Is Enough
After reading the first article about filling the void and Paganism, this got me thinking about my own journey. I’m a former far-right activist. I have been a Nationalist, Eco Fascist and an Odinist as awell, so the first article really made me think.. I know that my story is not unique, there are sadly thousands of others out there who have walked away from extremism, and I welcome this, but I also wonder? How have people like me filled that void? As a nationalist, I

Dear Dads.......
Young people in the UK are facing significant, growing dangers by becoming involved in extreme right-wing (ERW) ideologies, with counter-terrorism police reporting an "incredibly alarming" rise in teenagers—some as young as 13 or 14—drawn into such groups. Extremist groups increasingly target vulnerable youth online, using social media, gaming platforms, and encrypted apps to groom them, leading to severe risks including criminal conviction, physical harm, and long-term socia

Filling The Void............Paganism
Involvement in the ERW (Extreme Right Wing) can for some, lead people to embrace extremist forms of religion. Some can embrace Christian Identity, while others can embrace Odinism, a warped version of Heathenry, which venerates the Old Norse Gods such as – Odin, Thor, Sif, Nerthus and many more. Walking away from ERW extremism, opens up a void, something that must be filled and often those who have taken a religious approach, will look for non-extremist versions of the faith

The Process of Radicalisation
The process of radicalisation can take weeks, months or sometimes years, there is no set timescale, and it can vary from one individual to another. Radicalisation can happen both face to face and can also happen online, and personal interaction with another extremist isn’t always required in order for someone to become radicalised. People can self-radicalise using material that is readily available across the internet. Not all that become involved in extremism will align with

Roblox & TikTok Update
As of today’s date, we have sadly, had our 2 counter extremist games on Roblox removed and also content blocked on TikTok. Challenging extremism, we have to use images which represent either the historical time period we are looking at, or images that represent ERW (Extreme Right Wing) ideology and activity now and the damage it does to the victims of hate, those involved, their families and the wider community. Sadly, for whatever reasons, some social media companies simply

If you are a parent/carer or loved one, and you have a family member that holds ideologies centred on themes like racism, extreme nationalism, authoritarianism and have intolerance towards minority groups, or they advocate for views significantly outside the political mainstream, then this can mean that they are supportive of, or that they are actively involved in the extreme right wing.

TELLING FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Telling family and friends is never easy. Like most of you during my son's involvement, I found myself isolating myself more and more from my family and friends and that was because I didn’t want them to witness what was happening and what my son was becoming. I didn’t want their judgement and I certainly didn’t want their unhelpful advice such as “Give him a crack” and “He needs a good talking too” Instead of telling them the truth my isolation only justified their opinions

I think my child might be involved in the far-right............
If you or another parent have expressed concerns about the possibility of your child being involvement in extremism, then it’s time to pay attention. Making excuses for the racist and other extreme opinions that your child is expressing will not help you, your family or your child. It is not a phase that they are going through, and I can assure you, it will not just go away. I can completely understand that it can be hard to communicate these concerns especially if parents di
