SACR and its members harp on the idea that America is in a fatal stage of rot, and that they are an oppressed people waiting to rise up on behalf of a silent majority.

The SACR website speaks to the deeply held grievance and sense of a lack of masculine purpose which animates the group.

SACR exists, the website says, because “a man is no longer encouraged to fly to the stars,”
because “those who rule today spit on such ambitions;
they corrupt the sinews of America.”

“They have alienated men from family, community, and God.

We counter and conquer this poison, rebuilding a society where a man can find genuine fulfilment,
true to his nature and calling,
rejoicing in virtue and vitality,” the website says,
before offering a Google docs link where men can apply.

At the end of the day, SACR’s members are not oppressed.

Claremont is free to publish whatever it likes
— it’s widely seen as tremendously influential on the right generally and in MAGA circles specifically.

SACR chapters can meet; Haywood can blog
— in fact, on Tuesday he wrote an encomium to The Camp of the Saints, a 1970s French novel in which a horde of Indian immigrants overwhelms, degrades, and exterminates the white West.

“The goal of the Left was always total expropriation of white people and then, if at all possible, their extermination,
a goal made explicit by many powerful people in 2020,” Haywood wrote.

“How, given this history, should white Americans respond?”

SACR may be his answer.

In emails from November 2020, Yenor wrote to Skyler Kressin, the head of the SACR chapter in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and on the group’s national board.

Yenor sent a screenshot of an Amazon link to
“The Super Afrikaners,”
a 1979 nonfiction account of the #Afrikaner #Broederbond,
a semi-secret society which ruled South Africa under apartheid.

“That good?” Yenor titled the subject line, highlighting the book — long out of print — and its $95.62 price.

“That’s the one,” Kressin replied.

South Africa, with its visions of white settlers driven away from status and wealth, appear consistently in Haywood’s writings, and in Fischer’s as well.

The Broederbond, an Afrikaner-only, Calvinist-only group of elites which functioned as a series of hundreds of independent “cells” across the country, offers an eerie reflection of SACR’s structure.

Williams told TPM that the Afrikaner Broederbond came up in conversations over what SACR would be, but denied that it served as a model for the group.

The grievance, perceived loss of status, and lack of metaphysical meaning that these men feel are very real, to them.

But there’s enough in America’s own history to understand the aims and tradition in which SACR is operating.
