    They are probably going to experience some intense culture shock. They may be white on the outside, but old school white supremacists here don’t take kindly to accents that identify you as an outsider, even if they are being used as pawns by one particular group of supremacists. ‘Go back where you came from or else’ is their rallying cry, even if you are born in the US.

      Surprisingly, a lot of the white nationalist organs here in the US have VERY intimate contact with white national South African groups. I’m wondering how many of them are coming here to avoid getting caught in government dragnets in SA. Lots of the bombmaking know-how and quite a lot of weapons flowed into South Africa during the fight to keep apartheid from the 60s-90s (and now the fight to either topple the post-apartheid government or create a separatist state where they can institute apartheid), and much of THAT was supplied by contacts in the American KKK. Weird Little Guys did an incredible deep dive on the interlinking of the white nationalist movement internationally with white South African resistance to the ANC and the DeClerc and post-DeClerc governments.
