Former FBI Agent Scott Payne, who went undercover in 2018 within the white supremacist group The Base, sheds light on a dangerous shift in white nationalist movements. Payne explains that, unlike older, more visible hate groups like the KKK, most modern white nationalist organizations embrace "accelerationism" — a belief that society's collapse is inevitable and should be hastened through violent, guerrilla tactics. This ideology, known as “siege culture” after James Mason’s extremist writings, rejects public protests in favor of covert actions such as targeting journalists, minorities, and critical infrastructure to spark chaos. Payne exposed how groups like The Base recruit online, organize in small cells akin to terrorist networks such as Al-Qaida, and train for violent events. Despite operating in secrecy, these groups are heavily armed, ideologically extreme, and increasingly dangerous, blurring the lines between militia movements and neo-Nazi extremism.
