Contents

In 2020, two groups that issue annual reports on hate groups in the United States, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), listed a group known as Feuerkrieg Division (FD) as belonging to this category. ADL estimated that the group had about thirty members worldwide and announced that it advocates for a race war and holds some of the white supremacist movements most extreme views (ADL n.d.). Both ADL and SPLC concluded that FD was a dangerous organization that espoused the most extreme interpretations of neo-Nazi political beliefs. In April 2020, the Estonian Internal Security Service announced that it had identified the leader of FD: a thirteen-year-old boy living on the island of Saaremaa. The island is otherwise best known for its fourteenth-century castle and spectacular ocean views. The boy identified himself on the popular gaming network Steam as commander of FD. Because of his age, the boy was not identified by name.

This story has a number of lessons for individuals interested in the problem of hate groups in the world today. First, it highlights the fact that groups still exist that promote the most violent, hateful political philosophies ever developed, namely, many varieties of racist, xenophobic, anti-Jewish, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim, and other far-right organizations. Second, the story is a reminder that many of these organizations can exist in the deepest, darkest mists of human culture, largely unknown to both criminal investigators and the public at large. When information about especially troubling hate groups in existence today appears, it is often next to impossible to know who the leader(s) of that group might be, how they are funded, how many members they have, how serious a threat they might be, and, not the least important, whether they are actually hate groups at all.

Third, FD story illustrates the role of social media and the Internet in general in the work of hate groups. The thirteen-year-old Estonian boy had ready access to millions of men and women and boys and girls around the world. In addition to Steam, he had access to other popular platforms, such as Telegram and Wire, through which he was able to communicate in encrypted messages with his comrades and followers. With these mechanisms, he was able to propound a political view that might be completely false, or misleading at best, that could be attractive to enough people to allow the group to exist and plan actions to carry out its goals. The boy was also able to plan, provide information about, and attempt to carry out high-level crimes against targeted groups (such as Jewish sites in the city of Las Vegas, Nevada) without monitoring by external groups.

Hate groups are hardly a new phenomenon in history. In fact, if one accepts the Federal Bureau of Investigations definition of a hate group as an organization whose primary purpose is to promote animosity, hostility, and malice against persons belonging to a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin which differs from that of the members of the organization (CJIS 2015), hate groups have played a major role in human history as far back as written records exist. For most of that time, hate groups were largely religious organizations or organizations that sponsor attacks against individuals or groups who were different from the dominant group. Students of hate groups today generally do not deal in detail with Religion A who hates, attacks, and attempts to destroy Religion B or Nation A who has the same motives against members of Nation B. Yet, these endless events can serve as a lesson as to how modern hate groups arise, the reasons they exist, the goals they may seek, the actions they may follow, and the results of those actions.
