This is a long article (excerpts from a book apparently) but it’s interesting.

Basically the author, a man with Jewish heritage, makes a fake persona and joins far-right groups. He’s assisted by the group Hope Not Hate.

What do you think of the far-right? One of the interesting points that is made in the article a few times is that some far-right adherents, met by the author, seem to want friendship more than anything else. At least that’s the author’s view.

      Yeah I guess that’s the easy lazy answer, for sure. But the harder question is how can we get therapy to be both more appealing to men in this situation and, crucially, not needed in the first place?

      Have you seen the waiting lists? Much easier to throw a brick through the local mosque’s window

      the therapists that wouldn’t hesitate to mouth off about everything you tell them to the authorities and have you involuntarily held? it’s almost like they aren’t your friend

        eh? that’s either because they are unethical and breaking their code or you are doing some incredibly shady shit and they are obliged to inform authorities to avoid you hurting someone.
