It was a rare look inside the strategic planning of an upstart neo-Nazi movement.
In a video posted last summer on social media, Chris Hood, 23, the founder of the Nationalist Social Club - 131, a New England white nationalist collective, gave instructions to a 22-year-old UMass Lowell student named Liam MacNeil.
“If you’re in college you should be getting together with all the other guys on campus that think like you, circling all the frat parties and bullying the chicks that race mix and start dominating the party and take over the campus,” Hood said. “Same policy as out here [the street] but just do it on campus.”
“We can do that,” MacNeil responded. “Everyone knows where I am now, but they’re going to have to physically remove me. You know, they’re going to have to kick me out.”
Hood and MacNeil, now 23, are part of a tiny but growing group of white nationalists who have begun publicly announcing their presence across New England through a rising wave of racist and antisemitic demonstrations, attacks and vandalism. The groups appear to have escalated their activities in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, attempted insurrection in the U.S. Capitol, where members of these groups were present. It’s a rise that worries local law enforcement and community members, spurring them to respond.

"Introduction
The Nationalist Social Club (NSC) is a white supremacist network based in the northeastern United States, which has also had a presence in Germany, Hungary, and Bulgaria.* In 2020, a German member identified only as Paolo claimed NSC was in the beginning stages and trying to build up its network.* NSC was founded in December 2019 in Massachusetts and comprises small independent cells. * NSC members believe they are in a state of war against non-Aryans, particularly Jews. * NSC’s alleged goal is to create an underground resistance network against its ideological enemies. * To this end, NSC members train in physical combat and firearms. * NSC views itself as a protector of white people. *
NSC chapters act independently of each other and share a loose network affiliation. The group has no central hierarchy. Each chapter acts under its own guidance and rules. * The NSC maintains this informal structure to avoid infiltration. Chapter autonomy also allows each chapter to address individual regional needs and develop its own tactics. * Known NSC tactics include antagonizing social-justice protesters, vandalism, and posting stickers and other propaganda. * NSC members have joined right-wing and pro-police rallies where they have displayed Nazi flags and symbols, as well as engaged in physical altercations.* In December 2020, NSC New England announced it was ending communication with all other NSC chapters to focus on the New England region. The announcement confirmed all other NSC chapters would continue autonomously.* In March 2021, NSC’s original New England chapter announced only it and other clubs within the New England area of the United States were legitimate.*"...
