Fighting organized hate requires new tactics for a new era GlobeDebate
In the nineties, the Heritage Front tried to 'unite the right' by creating an umbrella organization for Canada’s hate groups.Everything old is new again. But for long-time anti-hate educators and activists, the oft-used phrase doesn’t stem from Peter Allen’s song of dreamy love, but is a grim reminder, instead: When it comes to the next wave of white supremacy in Canada – though “tsunami” might be more accurate – nothing has changed except the battleground.
There are many reasons why the Heritage Front’s efforts eventually failed, but there are two things it did not have that today’s white supremacists have: the internet and the numbers. Globally, the number of hate-motivated acts of terror and crime continue to increase. In an era where, as far as extremism is concerned, borders between countries mean nothing, it can feel as if hate is setting the world on fire. Successfully extinguishing that fire requires a co-ordinated effort on multiple fronts.
