In this bit10 moments
  • 20:34Yamanica Saunders does a bit about white nationalists looking like Disney World greeters instead of intimidating Klan members.
  • 21:02Tim explains how Bill Riesco groomed economically disadvantaged youth through hardcore music and mosh pits, similar to a character in American History X.
  • 21:24Riesco allegedly lured a 15-year-old into the woods and asked if he wanted to "defy nature."
  • 21:42Tim contrasts old-school white supremacists with foppish metrosexuals like Richard Spencer who theorize about organized destruction of the white race.
  • 22:00Richard Spencer isn't intelligent—people promote him as brilliant, but his views on history are shallow and lack substance.
  • 22:19Spencer merely seems intelligent to dumb people, which is a bad sign if he's your movement's primary spokesperson.
  • 22:47FBI classified white supremacist groups as terrorist organizations, which actually means they funded and ran them.
  • 22:58Tim raises the possibility that some alt-right figures like Andrew Anglin are on the CIA payroll, intentionally inflaming movements.
  • 23:15Tim isn't doing an Alex Jones conspiracy, just noting the government's suspicious history of infiltrating and taking over movements.
  • 23:34Federal infiltration of extremist groups often results in the feds running them and profiting, rather than stopping them.
