Other relevant keywords of far-right extremist groups include the mention of the numbers “14” (a reference to the “fourteen words”, one of the most popular white nationalist slogan, coined by David Lane, a member of the white supremacist terrorist group known as The Order: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children” (Michael 2009 ) and “88” (meaning “Heil Hitler”, as the H is the 8th letter of the alphabet), but also to the genocide, nazism, anti-islamic and anti-jewish groups (O’Callaghan et al. 2012 , 2015 ).…”

Extremism has grown as a global problem for society in recent years, especially after the apparition of movements such as jihadism. This and other extremist groups have taken advantage of different approaches, such as the use of Social Media, to spread their ideology, promote their acts and recruit followers. The extremist discourse, therefore, is reflected on the language used by these groups. Natural language processing (NLP) provides a way of detecting this type of content, and several authors make use of it to describe and discriminate the discourse held by these groups, with the final objective of detecting and preventing its spread. Following this approach, this survey aims to review the contributions of NLP to the field of extremism research, providing the reader with a comprehensive picture of the state of the art of this research area. The content includes a first conceptualization of the term extremism, the elements that compose an extremist discourse and the differences with other terms. After that, a review description and comparison of the frequently used NLP techniques is presented, including how they were applied, the insights they provided, the most frequently used NLP software tools, descriptive and classification applications, and the availability of datasets and data sources for research. Finally, research questions are approached and answered with highlights from the review, while future trends, challenges and directions derived from these highlights are suggested towards stimulating further research in this exciting research area.

“…In addition, Vox Day was less politically correct than Spencer in his 16-point manifesto for the Alt-Right. In Point 14 of his manifesto (which is not accidental), he re-stated the 14-word gospel uttered by white supremacist and founder of the Order terrorist organization David Lane, which is a credo for the contemporary white power and neo-Nazi movements: ‘The Alt Right believes we must secure the existence of white people and a future for white children’ (Vox Day, 2016; Michael, 2009: 43–61). While Spencer’s anti-Semitism is clear in Point 2, he used more sanitized language than Vox Day in his Point 5 defense of white America, which notes that only whites ‘defined America as a European society and political order’.…”

The Alt-Right’s continuation of the ‘cultural war’ in Euro-American societies

In this paper, I argue that the Alt-Right needs to be taken seriously by the liberal establishment, the general public, and leftist cultural elites for five main reasons: 1) its ‘right-wing Gramscianism’ borrows from the French New Right ( Nouvelle Droite – ND) and the French and pan-European Identitarian movement. This means that it is engaged in the continuation of a larger Euro-American metapolitical struggle to change hearts and minds on issues related to white nationalism, anti-Semitism, and racialism; 2) it is indebted to the metapolitical evolution of sectors of the violent neo-Nazi and earlier white nationalist movements in the USA; 3) this metapolitical orientation uses the mass media, the internet, and social media in general to reach and influence the masses of Americans; 4) the ‘cultural war’ means that the Alt-Right’s spokesman Richard Spencer, French ND leader Alain de Benoist, and other intellectuals see themselves as a type of Leninist vanguard on the radical right, which borrows from left-wing authors such as Antonio Gramsci and their positions in order to win the metapolitical struggle against ‘dominant’ liberal and left-wing political and cultural elites; and 5) this ‘cultural war’ is intellectually and philosophically sophisticated because it understands the crucial role of culture in destabilizing liberal society and makes use of important philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Carl Schmitt, Julius Evola and others in order to give credence to its revolutionary, racialist, and anti-liberal ideals.

“…In far-right discourse, the 'answer' to alleged white extinction is often the imperative of exit, to escape elsewhere, whether this be to a 'white ethnostate' in the US, an island in the Pacific, or to white sovereign autonomy somewhere in international waters (Haider, 2017). In these examples, we hear the echo of 'the 14 words' of Aryan supremacist David Lane of the violent terrorist organization, The Order: 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children' (Michael, 2009).…”

White Extinction: Metaphysical Elements of Contemporary Western Fascism

The Euro-American far-right represents a highly diverse political movement comprising numerous ideological tendencies. It includes the European New Right, the US ‘alt-right’ and ‘alt-lite’, far-right accelerationism, traditionalism, and new forms of political misogyny. Despite the diversity in ideas and activities, this article argues that an overarching theme of the ‘fear of white extinction’ travels across and animates each major contemporary far-right tendency. The article explores a variety of older and contemporary metaphysical themes that are deployed in contemporary fascism. These include new configurations of racism, occultist ideas of nature and vitalism, the rendering of culture and civilization in ‘biocultural’ and ‘anthropological’ terms, and ideas about cosmic destiny. The article considers how older ideas from Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Hans Günther, Ludwig Klages, Arnold Gehlen and others are mobilized in contemporary fascism to generate a critique of liberal modernity, one which leads remorselessly to a logic of white supremacy and apocalyptic violence.
