A New Wave of Neo-Nazi #Accelerationism is Rising – #terror

A new wave of neo-Nazi accelerationist groups is emerging internationally, drawing heavily on the legacy of Atomwaffen Division (AWD). Groups such as Aktion Division, Zenithkrieg Division, and Atomwaffen Polska are adopting AWD’s propaganda tactics and imagery, recruiting new members, and claiming to establish cells across different countries. Emerging groups are forming new international alliances, bringing together different violent extremist networks. Coalitions such as The Order and White Plague connect neo-Nazi accelerationist groups with extremist communities associated with No Lives Matter and The Com, where violent extremism, the glorification of violence, cybercrime, and misanthropy overlap. These groups are openly encouraging racist murders and other acts of violence, with threats extending beyond online propaganda. GPAHE uncovered guides instructing followers to commit racially-motivated murders and recruitment requirements demanding that applicants carry out and document violent acts. Individuals linked to these networks have been arrested in Poland and Ukraine in terrorism-related investigations. Neo-Nazi accelerationist groups are openly recruiting and spreading propaganda on mainstream platforms such as TikTok. GPAHE found neo-Nazi accelerationist propaganda from Atomwaffen Division copycats circulating  on TikTok, underscoring the responsibility of mainstream social media platforms to stop allowing extremist groups to use their services to recruit new members and spread their ideology, contributing to online radicalization. Over the past few months, a new wave of neo-Nazi accelerationist groups has emerged online. Neo-Nazi accelerationism is an extremist ideology that seeks to hasten the collapse of existing social and political structures through violence, including terrorist attacks, with the aim of triggering a race war and ultimately establishing white ethnostates. On platforms such as Telegram and TikTok, these groups share recruitment messages, images of firearms, calls for violent attacks, and even guides on how to commit murder. Many draw heavily on the legacy and visual aesthetics of Atomwaffen Division (AWD), one of the most notorious neo-Nazi accelerationist organizations whose members have been linked to multiple murders and terrorist plots.
