If you just say active club, like to me, that sounds great.

If someone's like, oh, you want to join an active club?

I like being active, I want to be around the

boys doing active shit. But this active club is essentially like fighting, hiking, and Hitler, essentially not it's not like the name betrays what it is so I

think before we go into the history of it let's just explain what the active clubs are because a lot of people haven't

heard of them but they are growing very quickly somehow from the US to Europe.

So yeah what is the active clubs?

Sure so the active club network is a transnational network of neo-Nazi fight clubs,

mixed martial arts, boxing clubs that are comprised almost exclusively of young men,

although there's some, there's some variance in here.

They were created by the German, Russian, ultra-nationalist fascist Dennis Kapustin, Dennis Nikitin, and the American

neo-Nazi Robert Rondo in, I'd say 20, 20, 20, 21 is the one the first active club of all, what actually

emerged, but they were descended from Rob Rondo's Rise Above Movement, street fighting neo-Nazi gang, he co-founded in

Southern California in 2016 along with Ben Daly.

They were involved in brawls up and down the state in 2017 with anti-fascists at in Where else? A couple other places in Southern California then a few of them went out to Charlottesville for Unite the Right 2.

Rise Above was broken up after pretty serious federal indictments, charged eight of them with a conspiracy to riot and violations of the Anti-Riet Act in both Virginia and out of Los Angeles.
