How Hate Groups Recruit
* Through rituals, regalia and impressive ceremony, individual
youth are easily impressed and recruited, often due to their
lack of identifiable future, and are catapulted into an
environment of violence and hatred.
* Disenchanted youth who are abused, angry, unemployed,
dropouts or runaways, and who may be looking for someone to
blame for their problems, are prime targets.
* Hate groups prey on lonely youth who are socially isolated
by learning their weaknesses and drawing them into a group in
which they feel accepted.
* They befriend students and invite them to meetings, making
them feel wanted and important, providing membership cards,
titles and a sense of belonging.
* Hate groups recruit followers by distributing flyers and
leaflets at schools and on the street, attracting young people
to meetings, concerts or rallies and inviting them to call a
hotline for more information.
* Members of racist groups provide a false camaraderie and
friendship that is motivated by reasons not readily apparent
to the target.
* They intimate that their hate group is simply a social club,
or a legitimate nationalist political party or movement
interested in preserving Canadian culture.
* They always lie to new members, never telling them of their
true agenda of hatred and violence before it is too late.
* Hatemongers either demand "Equal Rights for Whites" or
denigrate minorities through racist and bigoted articles,
newsletters, rock music and cartoons.
* Young people are brainwashed through rituals, rallies,
training camps and the dissemination of hate propaganda, until
they give up their independent identity, join the cause and
become hatemongers themselves.
