In an appearance on “crying Nazi” Christopher Cantwell’s radio show Radical Agenda on Sunday, Andrew Anglin reiterated his troubling, long-standing recruitment strategy: indoctrinating kids.
“My site is mainly designed to target children,” Anglin said of his neo-Nazi website, the Daily Stormer. He told Cantwell, who is in Virginia on house arrest awaiting trial on a felony charge, that the tone and presentation of his website — which relies heavily on memes and tasteless humor — is intended to appeal to children as young as 11.
Anglin said that targeting young, impressionable minds allows him to skip the often lengthy “redpilling process,” a euphemism on the far right for gradually brainwashing people to embrace increasingly radical, hateful ideas.
After Cantwell took a question from a caller claiming to be 14 years old, Anglin celebrated what he took to be evidence of his strategy’s success.
After hearing from his adolescent caller, Cantwell told Anglin he sometimes feels guilty when young people call into his show. Anglin did not remotely share this flash of self-awareness.
