My descent into America's neo-Nazi movement — and how I got out (transcript)
Summary
Even if you know that your parents really love you, a little thing can bring you somewhere where you think that it's not good.
The speaker really knew that his parents loved him though he had gone into in the group of neo-Nazi.
Neo-Nazi is a new idea that is indicative of Nazism. Like justifying genocide, it's terrible and does the same thing Jews were done.
When he became a father, he was noticed for what he did, but the group was his identity, community, and purpose.
His wife and children left him and he closed his store.
When he lost everything, he walked away from the movement.
He thought that hatred was born of ignorance, there were fear and isolation there, and it led him to the group.
Someone's compassion must help people who try going to the group like he did. He doesn't want them to do what he did. He wants them to have skills to compete in the marketplace. This is his compensation.
