Summary

(Part 4/5) Tyler DiPeppe was once part of Atomwaffen Division, a violent neo-Nazi group born online. Now he’s ready to explain how it happened. In this conversation, host Andrew Iden speaks with Tyler about the abuse, isolation, and search for identity that left him vulnerable to radicalization. They discuss how online propaganda and community manipulation draw people in, how loneliness becomes a weapon, and what it takes to break free. This is the most personal episode yet—a conversation about responsibility, empathy, and the human cost of hate. New episodes weekly.
