    So like most Authoritarians then? They’re all for it until their side isn’t in charge anymore.

      Not quite. White supremacists also overlap with the whole “rebel” and “rugged individualist” and “prepper” mindsets. Which are fundamentally incompatible with central authority in any way.

      I guess you could really split white supremacists into two camps, the authoritarian and anti-authoritarian camps. You’ll find a lot of the latter in prison gangs, and a lot of the former among the police. The two don’t always get along, is my point. They both hate minorities, but they’re otherwise quite different.
