1)RIGHT WING DEATH SQUAD The death squad dropped out the leftists of helicopters. They were called the “death flights.”

This violent rally staged the death of one woman from the counterprotesters group because a white supremacist drove into the crowd intentionally. Some groups were created with names that resembled "Right Wing Death Squad," and Facebook had to block several pages as they were filled with hate.

2)Andreas Kalbitz One of those extremist right-wing organisations, a banned neo-Nazi group called German Youths Loyal to the Fatherland, became the reason he was expelled from the party as he allegedly declined to notify the party while joining in 2013.

3)Thomas Robb (Ku Klux Klan) Robb firmly managed the Klan's finances but was later accused of embezzling funds from a hotline and a $20,000 anonymous donation. This led to a rift with some senior members. Among those who left was Ed Novak, the founder of the Chicago-based Federation of Klans, who took almost a third of Robb's members on his side. Other factions, including one group from Michigan, also split from Robb's Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and promptly returned to the "customary" way of wearing the infamous white robes and hoods.

4)Petr Bystron Bystron strongly denies these accusations. He claims they are part of a smear campaign by the Czech government. He connects this narrative to his personal struggle against communism in Czechoslovakia.

Publicly, he claims he fled as a teenager due to persecution for opposing the communist regime. However, former friends and family members questioned whether Petr Bystron experienced persistent political persecution during his youth. According to them, the reason why he fled was a mix of political and economic reasons, a perspective Bystron rejects.

5)Victory Party To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey, Ümit Özdağ announced a march on August 28, 2023, along the İstiklal Yolu (İstiklal Road) route between İnebolu and Ankara. The route was used during the War of Independence to transport weapons from the Black Sea to Ankara. Party members gathered at İnebolu Türk Ocağı before the march on August 28. Ümit Özdağ and party members walked after a cart from İnebolu Port. They completed their 14-day march to Ankara. The march ended with a visit to Anıtkabir in Ankara. Also, on October 26, 2023, the party introduced the "Victory Card," a commemorative card designed for the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey, for party donors.

To answer to those who call the party members racist, the party argues in its manifesto, “The Turkish nation is racist to anyone; however, the Turkish nation is getting discriminated against. Syrians do not shop from Turkish markets, bakeries, or grocery stores, even if they are cheaper. Turks pay their taxes even during the pandemic, and Syrians do not have to pay. They take over the jobs that Turkish small businesses have. Turks are the ones who are facing racism!”

Ümit Özdağ also adds, “We are not having bad intentions about Syrians or Afghans. But we do not want to share our country with you. You are welcomed as tourists, but Turks are tired of you. Now it is time for you to return home while reminiscing about Turks as their friends. Build your own country.”

The party’s logo includes a flame, crescent, star, and hand. The flame is in the shape a grey wolf representing science and also at the same time it is the symbol for the chimneys of houses whether smoking or not for all the families who have become martyrs for their homeland. The crescent symbolizes the Turkish unity that brings peace and the star represents the loyalty to the Turkish Republic. The hand at the bottom embracing all those symbols represent the “unity.”

Political parties can use donations, dues, real estate income, and income from party events to continue their activities; however, the Turkish Republic also has some funds to help them financially. The Victory Party could not get financial benefits from the Turkish Republic’s fund for the political parties as it did not get enough votes to pass the threshold (%3) to get money.

6)Martin Sellner As there were also migrants at the theater room of the University of Vienna, they said, “We came from countries filled with so much killing and dead bodies, and we thought they were going to kill us. We left our countries because we were afraid; now, in Austria, we are afraid again.” After this, Martin Sellner tried to play down what happened. He argued, “I do not think people were that afraid. I do not think we gave anyone a severe trauma.”

In 2024, Sellner participated in a protest by farmers in Germany, opposing the proposed reduction of their fuel subsidies.

At the end of 2018, the movement was instrumental in influencing Austria to withdraw from the U.N. Migration Pact. According to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue research, Sellner and the Austrian movement coordinated through dedicated encrypted channels on Telegram before initiating widespread disinformation campaigns on social media to turn public opinion against the migration pact.

In March 2024, Sellner returned to X as he had been banned from the platform earlier. He expressed how happy and grateful he is to be in X again, and he thanked Elon Musk. He said he wished this trend would continue and every banned person would have the opportunity to return.

7) Alt-lite According to academic Cindy Ma, the alt-lite YouTube personalities, by portraying themselves as the vulnerable targets of progressive movements, have played a role in reviving and legitimizing a narrative of white victimhood. Their videos put an emphasis on the historical dominance of "white culture" while expressing concern over the present and future precariousness of white people in a world focused on political correctness and social justice. To express themselves, they use some strategies, including performatively aligning with one minority group to criticize another, emphasizing personal connections with non-white individuals and familiarity with non-white cultures, adopting a color-blind perspective, and using irony to distance themselves when expressing more overtly racist stereotypes.
