The US has far-right issues just as Germany does (German far-right leader in court charged with using 1940s German slogan). Here is the article link: Revealed: documents shed light on shadowy US far-right fraternal order


Short summary of the open-access article by The Guardian (<20% in length, for fair usage reasons):

The Guardian article by Jason Wilson, published on March 19, 2024 reveals new information about the Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR), a secretive far-right men-only organization with an emphasis on Christian nationalism (and racism). The group's origins date back to the latter half of 2020, and documents obtained by The Guardian indicate that its founders sought inspiration from the Afrikaner-Broederbond, a white men-only group in apartheid-era South Africa.

Boise State University Professor and Claremont thinktank scholar Scott Yenor is believed to have played a central role in SACR's activities. He reportedly coordinated with other initiatives, including an open letter on "Christian marriage." The documents also suggest that SACR members may be preparing for violent struggle against the current leadership.

SACR's rules place a high value on secrecy, and potential members are vetted carefully with questions about Christian nationalism, the Trump presidency, and their role in the household. The organization values influence, capability, or wealth in its members.

So far that sounds like the Christian Democratic Union of Germany. But I don't know if the CDU has ever had wild accusations leveled against it.

Actually, it sounds like the AfD more, as the AfD is nationalist.

The CDU is a non secret political party in Germany.

That shares the same goals as whoever this group is the OP is talking about. And after reading the article I'm not surprised they keep it a secret. If any group comes out as anything other than outright communist the media will turn them into the next Nickelback. They go on about Joshua surrounding Jericho as a form of hubris then someone claims they're out to commit genocide. Are they planning to surround Chicago and genocide its inhabitants? Atlanta? El Segundo? Where exactly are they planning to do all of that? All I see is a group that wants society to function as Christian societies have always functioned. That is what the Christian Democratic Union was founded on.

DeSantis nominee for UWF board says women shouldn’t delay motherhood for higher ed, career

Speaking at the National Conservatism Conference in 2021, Yenor detailed what he sees as the “evils” of feminism, labeled “independent women” as “medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome” and decried colleges and universities as “the citadels of our gynecocracy” — a form of government run by women.

Can't wait to see what his new priorities for the University of West Florida might be.
