The Larger World

The Neo-Nazi (Who Wants To Be) Next Door

I’ve seen documentaries about Neo-Nazis and skinheads many times before, so nothing in this one, posted today at The New York Times, comes as a huge shock. The subject here, Kynan Dutton, combines raging racial paranoia with a dim kind of nerdiness, like a bigoted version of Mark Borchardt. I doubt he’ll follow in the footsteps of recently convicted mass murderer Frazier Glenn Miller, if only because he seems too preoccupied with arranging and re-arranging the various Nazi flags on his property, but it’s sad to see what Dutton’s decided to turn his life over to, and even sadder to see he’s got five children to indoctrinate into his one-family racist cult.

See for yourself:
