Patriot Front

Profile narrative

Patriot Front, also known as the American Identity Movement, is a white supremacist extremist organization that promotes neo-Nazi ideology. It engages in propaganda creation, distributing flyers, stickers, and online memes to spread its message. The group organizes public demonstrations and marches, often displaying symbols associated with hate movements. It seeks to recruit individuals through both online outreach and in-person activities. Its public statements frame its actions as political activism, but internal communications have revealed planning of illegal acts such as vandalism and harassment. The organization’s ultimate goal is the establishment of a white-only ethno-state within the United States.

Distinguishing attributes of Patriot Front include its commitment to a neo-Nazi worldview that blends anti-Semitic, anti-Black, and anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs. It is noted for producing propaganda that mimics mainstream political branding while advocating extremist violence. The group has been observed staging hoaxes and false flag narratives to attract media attention, as indicated by the 2022 data leak exposing internal discussions of such tactics. It adopts a militant aesthetic, using uniforms and symbols reminiscent of historical fascist movements. Despite its involvement in criminal conspiracies, it attempts to portray itself as a legitimate political movement invoking free speech protections. These traits have resulted in its classification as a hate group by several monitoring organizations.
