2 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
The changing face of hate is on your doorstep... Matt Browning, an undercover detective in Arizona, thought he knew what hate looked like; that is, until he got a front row seat to White supremacy. What followed was a career of hardship and danger, and what he uncovered can no longer go left untold. For more than twenty-five years, Browning has been infiltrating, documenting, and disrupting white supremacy movements from the inside, gaining an intimate vantage point to the KKK, skinheads, border militias, Proud Boys, and other White Power groups, as they organized and grew, their ranks alarmingly including police force and military veterans. Together with his intrepid wife, Tawni, he adopted fake IDs and ideologies, seeking the arrest of its participantsnone more so than J.T. Ready, a neo-Nazi who took "hunting trips" for border migrants while gaining mainstream acceptance as a political candidateand terrorizing Browning's family. What others dismissed as fringe groups, Browning quickly recognized as large and interconnecting organizations permeating into every facet of American society, effectively spreading their dangerous and repugnant rhetoric at unprecedented speeds. Today, after the violent storming of the Capitol on January 6th, the threat posed by these toxic organizations can no longer be ignored by the public at large. In this imperative and gripping narrative, Browning gives readers the inside story of modern-day White supremacy in America in all of its ugly variation. Following his dramatic, high-stakes attempts to take down powerful White supremacists, the torment he faced whilst working undercover, and his eventual creation of the international Skinhead Intelligence Network, The Hate Next Door is a riveting, enlightening, and essential look at the what, where, when, and why of white supremacist groups, how to identify them, and why we must all do everything in our power to fight against them.

“Hate, we confirmed, is the same all over the world. Warped notions of supremacy. Of fearing, then dehumanizing, the Other.”

Well. I got an education with this one. Browning was a detective in AZ who spent 20+ years undercover in White supremacy & militia groups, learning the methods & plans so he and his fellow officers could try to stop the violence and hate. It took a toll on his personal life & mental health-I can‘t imagine what it‘s like ⬇️

AmyK1 to immerse yourself in the hatred these groups spew then try to go home and live a normal life with your family, friends and neighbors. What is especially disturbing, but not at all surprising, is how much the members of the groups are involved in politics. (edited) 8mo
