Why Are Rightwing Extremist Groups So Secretive?
Episode description
Recently, I read in the Guardian that "Top Republicans rub shoulders with extremists in secretive rightwing group, leak reveals."
The details of the reporting stuck in my head. Then a question came to mind: Why are some rightwing extremist groups so secretive? What have they got to hide?
The only reason these kinds of groups are secretive is not because they are ashamed. These organizations are secretive because they know they are morally wrong.
They know they are wrong because their beliefs and actions will harm, hurt, subjugate, control, abuse, indoctrinate, manipulate, and kill people. They know they are being inhuman — they are acting inhumane — albeit mostly unconsciously, since the majority have been so deeply brainwashed, they don't know how to think critically for themselves.
If you can't respect the basic existential dignity of another human being — which doesn't mean you have to agree with them — you do not respect yourself.
