World White Hate documents the international reach of modern extremism, spotlighting Germany as a key flashpoint with attacks in Hanau, Halle, and Munich. A 2022 raid uncovered a plot to overthrow the German government by members of the “Reichsbürger” movement, including ex-military personnel and a former lawmaker. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has warned that such right-wing extremism is one of the greatest threats facing global democracies today.
