"Most people drop the #ideology pretty quickly once they get the #support they need. They belong to these groups because they’re getting something from them. You have to become the surrogate of that support so they don’t need the group any more."

The Guardian · As a hate-filled kid, I turned to far-right ideology. Now I help others avoid that pathBy Georgia Wilkins

In early February though, Aidan Harding wasn’t in court for his “activism” as a white supremacist, but for possession of CSAM (child sexual abuse material), all as part of his bid to be welcomed into Nazi Satanist cult and off-shoot of the Order of Nine Angles, “764.” The CSAM was found on his devices that were seized in the December raid. Harding was later arrested on firearms transfer/falsification charges on January 16, 2025 and while under arrest, remanded into federal custody because of the CSAM charges.

The judge allowed evidence showcasing Aidan’s Nazi and white supremacist ideologies to be admitted, because they are deeply relevant to his possession of CSAM. Members of 764 seek to manipulate, blackmail, and otherwise extort minors — often children of color and LGBTQ kids — into acts of self-harm and mutiliation, animal abuse, bestiality, violence, sexual exploitation, and even suicide on-camera or livestream — all of which they document in photographs and video. This “content” then serves to gain 764 members increasing clout within their cult.

Aidan Harding was quickly identified earlier this year after he and Noah Cron “demonstrated” on the Liberty Bridge, waving swastika flags, shouting epithets and slurs, and threatening drivers with mace. Their actions thus far — from waving flags to spray painting Patriot Front graffiti under a bridge in the south hills — seem relatively mild, but the evidence presented in court on February 12 of this year points to a pattern of escalation.

TW: Sexual abuse

If 4Chan has taught me anything, it's that when right-wingers talk about "grooming", they're not actually afraid of kids being groomed for sexual abuse. They're afraid of kids being "groomed" to be accepting of different sexualities and gender identities. They're afraid of Gen Alpha growing up to be progressives who accept themselves and others for who they are. That is a conservative's worst nightmare.
