In SIEGE, Mason recounted having been interested in politics at a young age, describing how his father once took him to a Richard Nixon rally in 1960. He would continue to support mainstream conservative politicians like Berry Goldwater and eventually populist ones like George Wallace. Sometime after supporting the latter, Mason would describe this as the last instance of himself supporting mainstream political parties.

According to FRONTLINE, Mason was approached by members of the Atomwaffen Division who wished to recruit him as an ideological advisor to which he obliged. He asserts that he has no role in orchestrating plots connected to the group, but simultaneously refuses to condemn attacks linked to them. Mason would later mention in a separate interview with NBC that members of have often disclosed to him their intentions to commit acts of violence, including Sam Woodward, who was charged with the murder of Blaze Bernstein.

In his publication Siege, Mason would argue that the death of American Nazi Leader, George Lincoln Rockwell was crucial in the adoption of terror tactics. He claims that without Rockwell's leadership, National Socialism could no longer function as a legitimate political party, making what he describes as "revolutionary tactics" the only viable option.
