Getting Out is Chapter 1 of audio documentary series “Sounds Like Hate”. You see, it begins with the Unite-the-Right March in Charlottesville, VA 12-13 Aug 2017. But this episode isn’t about that white supremacist rally — it’s about a woman named “Samantha”, who worked behind the scenes to support this violent alt-right march. This chapter leads us through the story of how Samantha became the women’s coordinator of Identity Evropa, a white supremacist group, and why she decided she had to get out. Chapter 2 is scheduled for release on 17 Aug 2020.
By “extremism” I mean not only white supremacy for “extremism” also includes a list of manifestations: anti-gay, anti-cultural diversity, anti-racial diversity, and as SPLC Action Fund Intelligence Project Senior Researcg Analyst Cassie Miller, PhD put it “... anti-government animus and violent apocalyptic ideations, epitomized by the current focus on an impending second civil war.” Read Millers entire letter with a detailed, footnoted statement submitted to the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence and Counterterrorism of the U.S. House of Representatives by Intelligence Project section of Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) Action Fund as its follow-on to testimony given in the 16 Jul 2020 House hearing on Assessing the Threat from Accelerationists and Militia Extremists, hearing video & witness documents here.
