I’m really asking: Does anyone think that white supremacist organizations will have much luck recruiting on college campuses? According to Inside Higher Education, that’s the reason groups such as the American Identity Movement put up leaflets.
…do these things actually work?
Why would they spend time putting up these posters on campuses? According to the Anti-Defamation League, the goal of these white supremacists is to
inject their views into spaces they view as bastions of liberal thinking and left-wing indoctrination.
So here’s my naive question: Is there any possibility some college student will see these posters and think, ‘hmmm, you know that makes a lot of sense”…?
I can’t imagine it, but I know I’m not normal. According to last year’s ADL report, most of the campus “recruiting” was done far away from sunny Binghamton, in Texas and California, Washington state and Florida.
I just can’t imagine this sort of thing getting any traction on our campus. Are other colleges different?

/ June 27, 2019My impression is it is less about recruiting unaffiliated students than it is reaching out to students who are already sympathetic. These groups often have difficulty recruiting through social media because they’re either blocked or people are afraid to be associated with them publicly (note how they list a website rather than a Facebook page…). That basically leaves people finding out about their existence off line as their primary means of spreading their message.
