In real life, I met a few neo-nazis in South Africa and in Sweden.
They looked like normal people, but they had strong non-mainstream opinions.
And I met some very anti-government, survivalist, conspiracy types in Arizona, Idaho, Washington, Montana and Michigan,
over the course of many years, often in environments and situations related to firearms. (shooting ranges, gun shows, etc.)
But they are not that extreme for the US, and I am around these types often in gun forums and survivalist forums.
Actually I seem to attract conspiracy theorists wherever I am in the world, this is a life theme.
I sympathise with them, they are creative and unconventional critical thinkers with a glimpse of the truth,
unless they are paranoid schizophrenics or something.
Also my stepfather had a LOT of subversive, forbidden, out-of-print, banned books,
which he collected in South Africa in the 1970s and 1980s. We still have them.
He was also in South West Africa (Namibia) in the past, which was full of Germans, including World War 2 veterans.
We would be a major target of any Fahrenheit-451-style regime in the future!
I can make a list for you sometime.
Also I have a few girlfriends who were members of the Party of the Swedes (Svenskarnas parti, SvP),
which was a neo-nazi (national socialist) party in Sweden in 2008-15.
This is an urban white working class youth subculture in Sweden.
(Ulf Ekberg from Ace of Base was also part of an urban neo-nazi gang as a teen in the 1980s.)
I was never associated with the party, and I would never join an extremist movement, but I somewhat like their flags.
