Global Comment: Networks of racist hatred, the hidden side of the European Union
I wrote about the racist networks across the European Union that are almost always unveiled when a major hate crime is investigated. From the piece:
Back in July 2011, when Anders Behring Breivik went on a murderous rampage in Norway, leaving a trail of 77 dead and numerous injured he also left behind a manifest that hinted to his connection with like minded individuals and groups across Europe. He spoke extensively of his extreme right wing sympathies and mentioned his contacts with others across the continent. Authorities investigated the links and found that he had been in touch with groups in the US and the UK. The arrest in Zurich this week, in connection with the German NSU, though not related to Breivik, does indicate a certain pattern. These connections across borders point to a modus operandi that is replicated across hate groups who are united by a common goal and racist rhetoric.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
