Tony McAleer has a word for people who have left violent extremist movements. He calls them “formers”.
McAleer is a former himself. In the 1980s, he was deeply involved in the neo-Nazi group White Aryan Resistance and was involved in anti-immigrant activism, Holocaust denial and street violence. In the 1990s, he attracted increasing notoriety through a series of publicity stunts and by running a white supremacist phone line.
And for the past 20 years, he has undergone the long, sometimes painful process of leaving it all behind.
