The idea of redeeming a white nationalist or neo-Nazi is understandably shocking to many Americans \u2014 and for many but history is full of examples of people who\u2019ve shed their hatred and repented later in life.<\/p>\n<p>Rangel is a believer. He himself comes from a life of redemption. He rejects the idea that people drawn to extremism can\u2019t be redeemed based on his own experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rest of the team were all members of white supremacist groups and were in leadership roles. They were the core of those groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a lot of mental health diagnoses that said I was incorrigible, I was anti-social \u2026 basically that I couldn\u2019t change, and yet here I am.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we all have in common, for the most part, is that compassion and empathy are common themes in what helped turn us around,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat finally got through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That puts Rangel\u2019s organization on the opposite side of activists and organizations that are using punitive tactics, such as online shaming and physical fights, against white nationalist groups.<\/p>\n<p>The negative things that we think to do to challenge the other side only help us dig in. It\u2019s only through kindness, it\u2019s only through understanding, it\u2019s only through compassion and peace that people were able to get past all of our armor. It was never aggression, it was never shaming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rangel said that white nationalist organizations promote a sense of belonging to individuals who join, something that is hyper-charged by the internet \u2014 where extremist groups can confirm and exacerbate people\u2019s fears and vulnerabilities<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe get online and then we follow a rabbit hole of algorithms that takes us down a deep but narrower path \u2026 that helps validate our concerns, helps validate what we\u2019re afraid about, and then we realize we\u2019re not alone,\u201d he said. \u201cWhere it turns into extremism is when they promote this sense of social obligation as a sense of activism, and that the only way to be activist is to be violent. That\u2019s where it goes into extremism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say is what we would offer would come from a place of being nonjudgmental. Whatever we would talk about would definitely stay between us. And that we would like to share our own experience as Formers and share what has been helpful to us in turning around the way we participate in life \u2026 whenever they\u2019re ready our door would be open to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Critics may accuse Life After Hate of na\u00efvet\u00e9, and argue that the only way to deal with such elements of our society is with shame, not compassion.<\/p>\n<p>If the goal, though, is not immediate moral satisfaction but actually reducing the strength of white supremacist movements, the more effective path may lie in empathy.<\/p>\n<p>For Rangel, the dozens of white nationalists the organization has convinced to give up their past ways are proof enough to him of his approach. \u201cI would say show me the evidence,\u201d he replied. \u201cTell me not what you can think or feel but what you can prove. If you can show me someone you have shamed into changing, beaten into changing, by all means I want to see that. But I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the way for anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out this article for empirical case study based proof: https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2017\/08\/17\/this-group-has-successfully-converted-white-supremacists-using-compassion-trump-defunded-it\/ Key quotes: &#8220;[Life After Hate is an organization] founded by former white supremacist leaders in 2011, it studies the forces that draw people to hate and helps those who are willing to disengage from radical extremist movements.
