**Overview:** This page attempts to document, recreate, and archive the now-deleted 'Glossary of Extremism and Hate,' a creation of the Anti-Defamation League. Founded in March 2022, the glossary met an abrupt end on September 30, 2025, following a series of critical social media posts concerning pages on Turning Point USA, Christian Identity, CPAC, and various other topics. It is a work in progress, seeking to cross-reference other ADL-sourced pages (with archives). At the time of its deletion, there were 1090 entries. My first priority was retrieving archives from the Wayback Machine (as the ADL need only request to exclude the URLs to remove them forever). The bigger undertaking, now, is to piece together their web of "sources," narrative shifts, and their most recent hyperfixation on the supposed existential threat posed by newer factions who are rapidly shifting the face of Conservative politics in America. All text following this section will simply be transferred from the ADL's websites, and was not written by L (SomeBitchIKnow). --- ![center](https://i.postimg.cc/W3zGcqsz/BDE-Capture-45.png) *"This database provides an overview of many of the terms and individuals used by or associated with movements and groups that subscribe to and/or promote extremist or hateful ideologies."* --- # Press Releases ## ADL Launches First-Of-Its-Kind Online "Glossary of Extremism" **Date:** 03-23-2022 **Tags:** Extremism, Terrorism & Bigotry [Archive](https://archive.ph/ox9mk) A comprehensive guide to extremist lingo, publications & tactics from ADL Center on Extremism. [[Anti-Defamation League|ADL]] (the Anti-Defamation League) today launched an online Glossary of Extremism, a first-of-its-kind interactive and searchable database providing comprehensive definitions of commonly known and more obscure terms employed by a variety of groups and movements across the extremism landscape. The ADL Glossary of Extremism defines nearly 900 terms and concepts used by a wide variety of extremist groups and movements, including white supremacists, antisemites, Islamist extremists and single-issue extremists such as ecoterrorists and incels. It is the latest innovation from the ADL Center on Extremism, joining a body of online research tools at the cutting edge of exposing hate, including its online database of hate symbols and the ADL H.E.A.T. Map. ADL Center on Extremism experts will regularly update the glossary and add new definitions as extremist terminology evolves. The glossary's homepage features definitions of groups and terms currently in the news, which now includes such groups as the Goyim Defense League, Patriot Front, White Lives Matter, Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. "Many extremist groups have developed their own nomenclature and language to communicate, and the public is often not familiar with many of the terms they and their followers are using," said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO. "This glossary pulls back the curtain to reveal the meaning behind these names and concepts, giving the public, the media and law enforcement insight into hundreds of terms, ideologies and conspiracy theories embraced by domestic extremists. It also provides a Who's Who of the key figures involved in spreading hate." "We believe that an informed public is critical to the defense of democracy," said Oren Segal, Vice President of the ADL Center on Extremism. "Our glossary provides the public with critical, factual and accurate assessments of the conspiracy theories and disinformation currently espoused and championed by extremists. We believe it is the most comprehensive and intuitive resource on extremist speech currently available to the public." The Glossary is a fully searchable database with filters for category and ideology. It covers conspiracy theories, movements, extremist events, and definitions. Ideologies covered include antisemitism, anti-government extremism, Islamist, left wing extremism, right wing extremism, single issue movements and white supremacy. --- # A ## Atlantic Nationalist Club (ANC) [Archive](https://archive.ph/iw5gs) ![center](https://web.archive.org/web/20250606214020im_/https://extremismterms.adl.org/sites/default/files/styles/glossary_term/public/images/2025-02/ANC%20400.jpg.webp?itok=UESO5Sqf) The Atlantic Nationalist Club (ANC) is a small white supremacist group active in the northeastern United States, primarily in Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Like other contemporary white supremacist groups, ANC is intensely antisemitic and anti-immigrant, and views in-person activism as necessary to "save" and "defend" White people from "demographic replacement." Since it first started conducting on-the-ground activities in October 2023, ANC has committed numerous acts of vandalism, spray-painting white supremacist phrases and symbols onto buildings. The group also frequently distributes anti-immigrant and white supremacist propaganda, and members have staged several demonstrations at locations they believed were housing migrants. Members also regularly engage in mixed martial arts training and sparring events in preparation for potential conflicts with perceived enemies. # D ## David Duke [Archive](https://archive.ph/BETVD) David Duke is a white supremacist and antisemite who has been actively spreading hate for over 40 years, including Holocaust denial. Duke is a founder of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and was instrumental in the Klan resurgence of the 1970s. He is most well known for having been elected to a single term as state representative in Louisiana in 1989, and for unsuccessful election campaigns for U.S. Senate in 1990 and governor of Louisiana in 1991. Duke has spread antisemitic, racist and bigoted commentary and conspiracy theories for decades. In December 2006, Duke attended a conference dedicated to Holocaust denial in Tehran, Iran. During his remarks, titled "A Holocaust Enquiry," he asserted that "Zionists" control and manipulate governments, politics and media in the Western world and claimed that the repeated media references to the event as a "Holocaust denial conference" demonstrated this "Zionist control" of the media. He has also consistently accused Jews of controlling the media, U.S. politics, banking and other entities, in addition to repeating baseless claims that Jews are responsible for such events as the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the coronavirus pandemic and global wars. In his words: - "The Holocaust is the device used as the pillar of Zionist imperialism, Zionist aggression, Zionist terror and Zionist murder." - Remarks at the 2006 Holocaust denial conference in Iran. - "Obviously, Jews gain certain advantages by promoting the Holocaust idea. It inspires tremendous financial aid for Israel. It makes organized Jewry almost immune from criticism. Whether the Holocaust is real or not, the Jews clearly have a motive for fostering the idea that it occurred. Not only do they have a motive, but they have the means with the media domination they now hold." - Hustler Magazine, September 1982 - "Let's put it this way. I question whether 6 million Jews actually died in Nazi death camps. There are two major sources for Holocaust stories. One is the Nuremberg war-crimes trial, which has been shown by all honest historians to be a farce of justice. Another source is the great body of literature and media work, and at least 90% of that material is from biased Jewish sources." - Hustler Magazine, September 1982 # G ## Gender Ideology Tags: Slogans/Code words, Single-issue [Archive](https://archive.ph/Hlfgn) “Gender ideology” (also known as “LGBTQ+ ideology”) is a conspiratorial phrase coined by anti-LGBTQ+ activists and extremists to characterize attempts to achieve LGBTQ+ rights or representation as an extreme ideology or even part of a nefarious left-wing plot to dominate public institutions. Proponents of the phrase often use it to oppose school curricula that feature and/or celebrate LGBTQ+ history or experiences, falsely claiming that such materials promote the sexualization of minors and/or coerce children into identifying as members of the LGBTQ+ community. Anti-LGBTQ+ activists also use the term in legal and political contexts to defend or rationalize their opposition to LGBTQ+ rights. ![wmed|center](https://i.postimg.cc/rsfvm8bZ/BDE-Capture-45.png) ## Great Replacement/Replacement Theory [Archive](https://archive.ph/v5k9F) ![center](https://d57zs3lqr78h2a.archive.ph/v5k9F/17ac252198ce286e88328f8e0e07d8536efd26d9.jpg) "The Great Replacement" conspiracy theory made significant headway into the mainstream in 2021. The theory alleges that people of color are "replacing" white people through immigration, birth rates and other economic, social and political means. While the theory has existed for some time, it found new life this year as major media personalities like Tucker Carlson and elected officials, including Rep. Matt Gaetz, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Rep. Scott Perry, spread the hateful and dangerous conspiracy in 2021. Though the conspiracy is not inherently antisemitic, many white supremacists subscribe to the belief that "The Great Replacement" is being orchestrated by Jews, and the lie has inspired several horrific acts of mass violence against people of color and Jews around the world in recent years, including murder sprees in Pittsburgh, Poway, El Paso, Christchurch, New Zealand, and Buffalo. Its continued spread in 2021 puts these communities at heightened risk. # J ## Jack Posobiec [Archive](https://archive.ph/kYR88) Jack Posobiec is a far-right activist, conspiracy theorist and white nationalist sympathizer who is a correspondent for One American News Network. **Backlinks:** - 01-03-2025 [Deadly New Orleans Attack Fuels Conspiracy Theories About Immigrants, Israel](https://archive.ph/r6Upp) - 10-28-2024 [The ADL Debunk: False Narratives Around the 2024 Presidential Election](https://archive.ph/cfc15) - 07-14-2024 [Trump Assassination Attempt Sparks Antisemitic Conspiracy Theories and Violent, “Revenge” Rhetoric](https://archive.ph/KhaXp) - 05-24-2022 [CPAC Conference in Hungary Views Viktor Orban’s Nationalism as A Model to Follow](https://archive.ph/9SejJ) - 01-30-2018 [Far Right Trolls Recast “No Means No” and “My Body My Choice” as Anti-Immigrant Memes](https://archive.ph/duW9Z) - 11-29-2017 [A Short History of How Donald Trump Amplifies Extremism & Hate on Twitter](https://archive.ph/csDG9) - 07-12-2017 [From Alt Right to Alt Lite: Naming the Hate](https://archive.ph/pmVcQ) - 06-27-2017 [Feuding Rallies in DC Reveal Far-Right Groups' Different Priorities](https://archive.ph/HPqTo) ## Jared Taylor [Archive](https://archive.ph/DkMx8) ![center](https://web.archive.org/web/20250122212445im_/https://extremismterms.adl.org/sites/default/files/styles/glossary_term/public/2021-12/Jared-Taylor_Image.jpg.webp?itok=F-7ImzEJ) Jared Taylor is the founder of The New Century Foundation, a self-styled think tank that publishes the online white supremacist journal American Renaissance (AR). The group holds regular conferences that bring together academic racists from the U.S and abroad. The themes of both his conferences and journal include alleged racial differences in intelligence, the promotion of "white identity," and attacks against multiculturalism and diversity. # L ## "LGBTQ+ Agenda" Tags: Conspiracy Theories, Single-issue [Archive](https://archive.ph/HochA) The “LGBTQ+ Agenda” (also known as the “Trans Agenda” or “Gay Agenda”) is a baseless conspiracy theory alleging that the LGBTQ+ rights movement is in actuality a sinister plot by left-wing political, educational and media institutions, in league with international organizations like the United Nations, to destroy “traditional” families, turn children gay or transgender, normalize the sexual exploitation of children, undermine traditional social and religious values, and other nefarious goals. Different iterations of these narratives intersect with other anti-globalist conspiracy theories such as the “New World Order” and the antisemitic belief in Jewish global power/domination. # N ## Nick Fuentes Tags: People, White supremacist, Right-wing, Antisemitism [Archive](https://archive.ph/UtZws) ![wmed|center](https://i.postimg.cc/xdbvcqsx/BDE-Capture-45.png) Nick (Nicholas) Fuentes is a white supremacist leader, organizer and podcaster who seeks to forge a white nationalist alternative to the mainstream GOP. He is the leader of the "Groyper Army," a group made up of his supporters. He also founded the America First Foundation in 2020. **Backlinks:** - 07-08-2025 [Coded Hate: Extremists Weaponize Seemingly Innocuous Content to Promote Bigotry](https://archive.ph/ly5V8) - 05-07-2025 [White Supremacists Help Raise Hundreds of Thousands For Woman Who Hurled Slur at Black Child](https://archive.ph/D7O45) - 06-28-2024 [Denial and Distortion of the Hamas-led October 7 Attack: An Overview of False Narratives](https://archive.ph/dDd6S) - 10-07-2023 [Hamas Attack Draws Cheers from Extremists, Spurs Antisemitism and Conspiracies Online](https://archive.ph/ctH8k) - 03-07-2023 [Fuentes Delivers Antisemitic, “Christian Nationalist” Rant to Fellow White Supremacists](https://archive.ph/TYUaq) - 11-29-2022 [Extremists React to Trump Dinner with Ye and Nick Fuentes](https://archive.ph/oX1qS) - 03-31-2022 [Congressional Testimony - Nicholas Fuentes, the Groypers, and January 6, 2021](http://sbik.site.nfoservers.com/PDFs/adl-testimony-house-jan-6-fuentes-groypers-2022-03-31.pdf) - Given By: Oren Segal, Marilyn Mayo, and Morgan Moon, ADL Center on Extremism, ADL (Anti-Defamation League) - 07-08-2021 [Nicholas J. Fuentes: Five Things to Know](https://archive.ph/pkHbL) 1. Nicholas Fuentes is a white supremacist leader, organizer and podcaster who seeks to forge a white nationalist alternative to the mainstream GOP. - Fuentes refers to his supporters as "Groypers" or the "[Groyper Army](https://archive.ph/Za4kL)," who see their bigoted views as necessary to preserve white, European American identity and culture. They claim that mainstream conservatives are just as responsible as liberals and the left for the ostensible destruction of white America. 2. Fuentes believes that he is working to defend against "leftist" cultural changes that are destroying the "true America": a white, Christian nation. - Fuentes also frequently makes his support known for the Traditionalist Catholic view that rejects the Nostra Aetate, the papal document that declared that modern Jews bear no guilt for the death of Christ. 3. Fuentes has used his platforms to make numerous antisemitic, racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments. 4. Fuentes has branded himself "the most canceled man in America" in the face of wide-scale deplatforming. 5. Fuentes has been boosted by far-right and mainstream conservatives, providing him a larger platform for elevating the America First movement. - 03-06-2019 [White Supremacists and Other Extremists Welcomed at CPAC 2019](https://archive.ph/ZdC88) # R ## Race Realism Tags: Key Concepts / Definitions, White supremacist [Archive](https://archive.ph/Am2MM) The term "race realism" (as well as variants such as "racial realism") originated in the 1990s as a euphemism for racist or white supremacist beliefs. People who call themselves "race realists" typically claim there are observable differences between members of various races in areas such as intelligence and propensity for violence and that, rather than being racist, they are merely being "realistic" in acknowledging those purported (but false) racial differences. The term is often associated with scientific racism (the use of scientific techniques or language, as well as pseudoscience, to cloak racist convictions). British psychologist Christopher Brand (1943-2017), for example, who became controversial in the 1990s for claiming that blacks were less intelligent than whites, described himself as a "race realist," as has Jared Taylor, publisher of the white supremacist American Renaissance website and one of the most prominent American promoters of scientific racism. Over the years, usage of the term has spread to many other prominent white supremacists, from David Duke to Nick Fuentes, who use it when not wishing to acknowledge their explicitly racist views. # T ## Traditionalist Catholicism Tags: Groups / Movements, Antisemitism [Archive](https://archive.ph/BQ9Pf) Traditionalist Catholics reject the reforms of the Second Vatican Council that was held in the early 1960s, including Nostra Aetate, the papal document which declared that modern Jews bear no guilt for the death of Christ. The Vatican has also rejected the idea of supersessionism, or the dogma that with the coming of Jesus and the New Testament the Jews' covenant with God was broken—but traditionalist Catholics continue to support this doctrine and believe that there is no salvation outside of the Catholic church. Partly as a result, some Traditionalist Catholic circles have continued to incorporate explicit antisemitism into their theology, and a number of them may be characterized by a paranoid belief in Jewish conspiracies to undermine the church and Western civilization, as well as other conspiracy theories that are prominent in right-wing extremist subcultures. For decades after its founding in 1970, the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), which is the foremost global Traditionalist Catholic organization, continued to preach that contemporary Jews are responsible for deicide, endorsed the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and claimed that there was a factual basis for the medieval blood libel. One of its bishops, Richard Williamson, is a well-known Holocaust denier. In recent years SSPX has moderated its position to some extent, and expelled Bishop Williamson. However, the Traditionalist Catholic movement continues to wrestle with antisemitism and a tendency towards extremism. One prominent Traditionalist Catholic is filmmaker and antisemite Mel Gibson, whose film, The Passion of the Christ, attracted controversy over its graphic depiction of Jewish responsibility for the death of Jesus. ## Turning Point USA (TPUSA) [Archive](https://archive.ph/Z4nCx) Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is an Illinois-based right-wing student organization founded by Charlie Kirk in 2012. The organization's stated mission is to "identify educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government." From 2016 through 2019, TPUSA was connected to many controversial incidents including problematic comments by TPUSA spokespeople or activists, TPUSA spokespeople appearing alongside extremists at events or on their shows, TPUSA activists making racist or bigoted social media posts, texts or statements, and connections between TPUSA members or activists and known extremists or extremist groups. **Backlinks:** - 09-16-2022 [What is “Grooming?” The Truth Behind the Dangerous, Bigoted Lie Targeting the LGBTQ+ Community](https://archive.ph/S1OnU) - 09-27-2021 [New Surge in Support for Replacement Theory Rhetoric](https://archive.ph/dzX6h) - 11-09-2020 [ADL Debunk: Election Edition](https://archive.ph/yJiU3) - 07-13-2020 [‘Let’s be honest, today’s conservatives are blatantly anti-immigrant’](https://archive.ph/KmPjp) - 06-18-2020 [Alt Right: A Primer on the New White Supremacy](https://archive.ph/u6qUY) - 03-17-2020 [Groyper Army and "America First"](https://archive.ph/GTFDe) - 02-14-2019 [Backgrounder: Turning Point USA](https://archive.ph/t2Sru) - labeled under 'Extremism, Hate or Terrorism' # W ## White Separatism [Archive](https://archive.ph/JeP9B) White separatism is a form of white supremacy that emphasizes the idea that white people should exist separately from all inferior, non-white races, whether by establishing an all-white community somewhere or removing non-whites from their midst. Some white supremacists also use the phrase because they believe it may be more benignly perceived by others than the term "white supremacist." %%Footer Starts Here%% --- ![[Brain Icon 1.png|center]] <b><font color="#ffffff"> <center>You might not have noticed it… but your brain did.</center> </font></b> --- ### Tags ### Linked Pages & Footnotes
