@@eldenfindley186 Ignorant comment. Not all MAGA are apart of this extremist group just like not all Leftists are part of Anti-Fa. Didn't realize loving and wanting the best for your country is racist. Also the KKK was invented the Democrat Party and Margaret Sanger (Co Founder) of Planned Parenthood (Abortion Clinics) was a known supporter of the KKK. Over 60 million people dead since 1970 from Abortion Clinics.
he articulates this so well, can tell he's done a lot of introspection. "even evil can have charisma", "you're not evil full time, later in the day you can be a good friend", so interesting
Charisma is one of the most powerful skills a person can have. You could be an incompetent idiot but if you can speak well enough to make people really feel things, and make them believe what you're saying is truth. Astounding things can happen. Like the "height" of Nazi Germany.
Someone once said to me that "Satan isn't the big, red, scary goat monster drawings depict him as. He's the most beautiful, charming man in the world so everyone will follow him." I'm not religious myself but this made me think.
I learned this lesson myself. I moved to a different country (the USA) and many (if not most) people here are absolutly terrible people, but they still can be nice to you. They still can be good neighbors or family members. They literally support to destroy another country for profit and they tell you this without shame, but invide you to stay a week in their house while being on vacation.
@@harry.flashman No, it really isn’t. Being an adult taught me that adults are, in a lot of cases, bigger children than actual children. Being that self-aware and being able to reflect on yourself that much speaks a whole lot about him.
Their group was not wrong about muslims though. We have many media and police reports where people have inflitrated local mosques and what they teach to their people in there is not love or understanding. Native europeans and christians are considered trash among muslims.
I love how he combines taking responsibility with an appreciation of the power of the conditions that radicalise a person. 'If I had had this help I wouldn't have radicalised myself'.
I think one of the most poignant things I had heard about neo-nazis is the way they portray themselves in the beginning stages of exposure. They play nice and try to seem reasonable in order to draw new recruits in. Which is why it is so crucial that people be educated on the true, horrific nature of their group. Here in America, for example, we have a political party that is actively downplaying the radical nature of these types of hate groups.
It's how it always is. Every gang member, ever radical came from a point in their lives where help was just not available to them, or even just an ear to talk to. Doesn't mean j won't judge them however
I was in a neo Nazi group from age 18-26, he’s 100% right. It feels like a family. I spent Christmas and thanksgiving with them, a bunch of us went to another members college graduation, we all just hung out and spent time together half of the time. Evil isn’t always evil but we were always politicking. We could be having a family bbq with kids and wives around and in the meantime somebody fucked up so we’re in the garage handling it. And then when you decide you don’t want to be part of it anymore because you’ve been basically lying to yourself and everyone around you just to fit in: you find out how conditional all of these relationships you’ve built over the years really is
I can gladly tell you that ppl like me who did not come to the west voluntarily, but was kidnapped and sold as international adoptees, have not only endured horrible circumstances growing up as adoptees, but also duringENTIRE CHILDHOOD WAS on a daily basis TRAUMATIZED and deeply AFRAID of ppl like you. I suffer everyday from racism and still as an old woman nazis and racists petrifies me bc all the aggressions, bullying and violence I had to endure from a very young age, all in the name of racism. Congratulations to all your success in ruining humanity!
As someone who is half black, Latino and Jewish so basically all you hate, it’s very hard not to judge your choices. Either way may God bless you and guide your way in this new path of life.
As a Geordie, my brain was so confused at first 😂 The flip flop between Geordie and German accent was fascinating !I was waiting for a Whyeye to slip out from him
I didn't here a very pronounced, distinct, sustained geordia accent from him. Some the words have an english deflection, but for most part he speaks as a German would.

“Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your busyness, and your life before your death.” Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
He wasn't only a neo nazi. After he grew tired of that kind of life he started a rocker gang and went deep into organised crime, drugs, extortion, pimping. He has had a pretty eventful life. I encourage everyone to pay his channel a visit. He is one of the few people who can talk about his dark past in a entertaining way without glorifying it. It's also worth mentioning it that he already tried to quit his life of hate and crime before the police finally catched up with him.
Never leave anybody behind. I love that. What struck me about Philip is that he feels things so intensely, whether it be when he was younger and angry at the world, or even in prison as an adult so angry at himself. He has done so much work on himself and, as a result, definitely deserves the life he has now.
My father is a white supremacist Skinhead, and it's really interesting to hear this man's perspective on what it's like to be in a group like that. I was always around to hear so much of the horrible things my dad would say, and I'm sure he was censoring himself around us kids so I can't imagine what he was saying in private. What this man said about your entire life being taken up by hate is absolutely true. I'm glad I didn't grow into an adult who shares his beliefs, but they definitely poisoned me as a child. It's a horrible, hateful mindset that really makes your life miserable.
My own father radicalized sometime into my teenage years, and for a bit I followed suit. From 14 to 16 years old, I was the most vile and disgusting I had ever been. Now, at 21, I can recognize my own sexuality and be comfortable with myself, but I regret having told my father, because now he seeks to "prove" to me that I've been brainwashed, and asks how I'd know since I haven't even had intercourse, because why believe your own son about his own feelings? Oh yeah, feelings are enemy #1, forgot about that. Only logic allowed in sexual relationships, I guess. Even my own brother proudly proclaims that my "Denial of reality" will "bite me in the ass." I hope I can get my GED and find a group of people that accept me for who the fuck *I* am, rather than mold and shape me to their liking. As hopeless as I feel now, I had even less when I believed in the bullshit.
o was bullied too it changed me i became mean and disrespectful i aggressive and lost the wil to live but now ive bin picking my life up latly i even bacame very good friends with the most annoying one because we stil has alot in common
Bullying is horrible and will hold people back for life...but also parental neglect; parents have to be educated about the age group their kid is in n respect it. Moving a child between the age of 12 to 16 is a really bad idea. The second move really messed this guy up. Cuz its our prime time to learn how to socialise and to develop a sense of belongin
My Dad had a similar experience. When he was 7 he was shipped from Scotland to Japan, without his parents, to live with relatives. After 4 years he was sent back. To this day he still talks about the negative impact it had on him.
It definitely has affects, a similar story with my sister where she was living with relatives for a few years abroad. 100% it impacts a child in a very negative way. I don’t think we really bonded properly as children. Our relationship is not terrible but it’s not the best either and I think this is part of it. Though not all of it it can be tumultuous at times and we are both grown adults.
true enough. When I was 7, my family & I left Russia for Germany and at some point in my late teens, I had problems with my Identity. Russians saw me as a German, Germans saw me as a Russian, you never truly belong to any of these groups. It took me some time, but I realized that I'm not a "russian" German or a "german" Russian, I am me and people around me accept me for who I am, not what I am.
Most adults forget that a child isn't just a ball of clay to be molded & then left alone. They are a small human that have thoughts & emotions of their own and sometimes they don't know how to operate them.
Depends on the adult, if you have a far. Left extremist activist as a parent. They're gonna pump your head full of nonsense, like the lie. That a boy can become a girl and do way more harm than not liking people that are a different color skin or you know if you're from an area like Detroit, like I am, i just saw how black people behave for twenty five years informed to my own opinion.I have nothing to do with them. That doesn't make me a bad person
@@missyouwish88 most people are at best average at most things they do. That includes raising another human being. Why should it be different? It's a first time for people. I'm honestly baffled/somewhat in awe why most people choose to have kids and open that can of worms.
Found this really interesting. I was also in a similar movement but in the UK. I got into it later, in my late twenties and being a woman approached this differently, but I remember waking up everyday full of hate. It was a relief to leave this life behind. Others are trying to keep me there through bullying and gang stalking but I refuse to be bullied after turning my life around. Now they can wake up full of hate everyday. I wake up free and spend my days trying to help others. This guy has courage and he has turned his life around. Good for him.
as a woman myself i always find it a bit difficult to understand what is the appeal of these kind of movements to woman in particular, since they often have such a subordinate role and its often a very masculine environment that celebrates masculinity. May I ask what was the appeal to you? (please dont read this as judgemental I'm really happy you found your way out that must have taken a lot of strenght, im just curious)
@@foolonthehill5355 I have never thought of myself as a woman. I was raised by a man with other men. I had a shit childhood and was full of hate and bitterness. These people took me in and made me feel part of something, a family. I married a guy with the same views but the constant hatred are away at me. I didn’t start coming out of this till my forties but now can see it for what it was. I now have friends from different countries and religions and they accept me for who I am now but are fully aware of my past. Letting the hatred go has been the way I have started to heal from the abuse I suffered during my childhood. I still think I am a man but the hatred has gone.
You seem like an intelligent woman. Can I ask what you mean about thinking you're a man? Sorry if that's too personal, I usually never get involved in comments but something about yours stood out. Cheers from Scotland
He sounds a bit Danish, which might make sense when you think where some of the Geordie accent came from and how Danish is a bit like English and German mixed.
Wow, so powerful. Takes extraordinary courage to leave a group that “held” you. To be so self aware and hold yourself accountable is incredible. It was so interesting to hear how easy it can be for a young lad to be radicalised. Well done mate, wish you a good life with love
For the people who wanna know: when speaking German, Phillip got a quite heavy northern accent. Thats probably why his German accent doesn't really sound "standard".
@@constantlylearnandgrow3487they’re talking about how he sounds when speaking German, not when he speaks English. He speaks German with a Northern German accent, which makes sense as he (and his parents) are from Lübeck which is a far Northern German city that’s near the border of Denmark.
What a journey Philip has taken, and it seems clear when children are cruel and bully their schoolmates the anger begins to build, then parents who don't engage emotionally add the kindling, then the meeting up with other disenfranchised teens become the spark that starts the 🔥. I also agree with Philip how important it is to get to know people from different cultures and backgrounds, it teaches you diversity and empathy. It is a relief and appreciation that Philip has taught himself how to feel with his soul not his ego, may the rest of his life be full of kindness and love.
songoku9348, Relieved to hear that, maybe you have lived more lifetimes, or had outside support systems, it's usually a viscous combination with what feels like no love that sets some young men off. So glad you had it in you to find a more positive way to work through that hurt that turned to anger not everyone can. Cheers
@@bkm2797 Being a Muslim, you can respectfully imagine what my life has been like. Especially post 9/11, I always see combat sports and martial arts as a way to defend oneself and ensure bullying won’t ever happen again. That’s the best course of action, you cannot change the past, but you create a better future.
songoku9348, It's so sad when children are taught to hate by their parents, teachers and those they hang around with, especially since they have had no experience with how kind Muslims are, it's so important to teach our children to embrace and learn about the different cultures, that is when we become our best! Sorry you have to suffer with such ignorance, but please know we are not all like that, and we speak out if we hear such negative thinking.❤️
I don't think it's the kids bullying him that made him a Nazi. Sure, it made him a far easier target but he was essentially influenced through his music and being groomed into the movement. Any disenfranchised person is an easy target and particularly vulnerable to it.
What he said about meeting people from different countries and cultures being so important to "healing" is so very true. I was going down the far right rabbit hole when I was younger, and I got snapped out of that by getting some new roommates - refugees from Syria and Eritrea. It was insanely hard in the beginning, but over time I questioned my own beliefs more and more and I'm grateful I was able to break out of that hate before it was too late for me. Funnily enough now, about 10 years later, I too am a buddhist so I can imagine that definitely had a big influence on his journey as well.
This video randomly appeared on my feed but I’m so glad I watched it. Phillip, I hope you read everybody’s comments on here. I know you have remorse about the lives you destroyed, that is very apparent. You talking so candidly and honestly may help to save future lives . You definitely deserve to be loved, admired and respected. I wish you all the best for your future.
Big respect to this man …..you can apply his experience to any form of extremism….gang culture, Islamic terrorist…any form I hope others watch this and understand that hate is hate …and there is no future in it
You can't tho.. There's a difference between sieg heiling and advocating for genocide versus wanting worker rights or wanting an egalitarian society that treats everyone equally..
When he says he woke up hating and he hung around people that were also hate filled is EXACTLY how I felt as a southern Baptist Christian. The moment I left the religion, I was free of hate filled judgement of others. How else could I believe someone deserved hell unless I really hated them? It’s disgusting.
Not a Baptist but a non denominational Christian here and I have to say as someone who has experienced the worst and the best from Christians. I can happily say they were hypocrits. God says it isn't our place to judge but to love. Not hate. All of us sin, we are human but they lost something along the way and forgot Jesus and his message all together it seems. Im so sorry you had that experience because I agree once you are out its freeing. As if a weight had been lifted off your very soul. I find that the best people who are filled with the holy spirit and Love are Christians but I've also noticed that the most hate-filled and hurt people I've met are also so called Christians. ❤❤❤
Oxytocin bonds you to your comrades and makes you gang up against the other. It's just a group dynamic. Doesn't really matter the group. Breaking this bond just opens you up.
From a fellow former Baptist: I was kicked out for being homosexual by the people who claim ownership of love and morality...the people I considered family my entire life. There is no hate like Christian love.
@@kyegaming3193 I disagree. My brother is a homosextual and regaurdless of what he does we've made it known as a whole family of Christians we will always love him and he always has a place with us. Im so sorry that they did that to you. It was wrong.
Im not placing blame anywhere, but a good childhood doesn't necessarily equate to responsible parents. I think the moment his parents found a swastika in his room, they had an obligation to educate him on the significance of associating with such a symbol. Simply hiding it and staying quiet about it significantly undermines the danger of continuing down that path.
The Germans were once a proud and strong people. They’ve been shamed into oblivion over a century of propaganda painting them as evil. I would also shield my child from that grief.
@@tobiasphilippwittlinger8753 They also harmed him more than imaginable by ripping him out of his home twice in his years when he starts to create bonds and roots. They didnt beat him, but they didnt have to, their shit and selfish decisions did it for them. So you can say they tried or whatever else you want, they destroyed his childhood and set him on that path of anger. I don't care if they went above and beyond in treating the symptoms if they themselves are the cause.
@@followerofthetrain6336 Wtf man, don't follow this path - thats just right wing narratives. I am german, I love my country and a lot of it's culture. We take responsibility for the crimes of our grandparants and their parents generation, as every nation should. Being proud of the history of your country is dumb, even if there was a nation without guilt (and there is no such nation). I'm proud of the part I'm contributing to our society. And wtf, nohody is painting modern germany as evil - most countrys have great respect for us; besides our lack of humor and us sticking to rules most stereotypes are very positive. I really don't know where people get those conspiracy theorys from, probably spending too much time on facebook or telegram.
They bullied him and called him a nazi. So he became a nazi. That's so fucking sad. What an enlightening video. I love how much self-reflection and accountability he has for his behavior. It paints a very clear picture of how these groups indoctrinate and groom angry vulnerable people. I am so happy he got out and left that life behind.
Exactly, they bullied him into being a nazi. Actions have consequences. There are very, very, very few people who are naturally evil, most people get treated horrible by the society and end up being bad apples.
Admirable that he said he "radicalised himself" rather than "was/became radicalised". That's a sign of someone who truly takes responsibility for their course in life.
It's true, but based on his story it's also very clear that he was groomed into the life. It's good that he takes responsibility for his actions, but he was clearly a very angry and vulnerable young man, which made him an easy target for radicalisation.
Honestly as a British person who can speak a tiny bit of Welsh and German but not really converse in them. I'm continually amazed by the quality of people's English, doing their English down while having a full fledged conversation with you.
thats just us germans. most of us think our english is pretty bad, and when we speak it, even if the grammer is correct bc of the accent. most wouldnt gave an interview in english bc of that, but if they would just do it, it would pretty much turn out the same. mostly correct english, but with an accent, maybe they would talk a bit slower, bc they dont train it regularly.
@@Luzi-chan It's actually a really common belief/insecurity - this idea that if you don't sound exactly like a particular group that your language skills (English, or any other language) aren't good enough. I think a bigger part of it is the feeling as you speak, about how much more effort it takes to express yourself. But that effort doesn't mean the product is inferior. And difference doesn't equal deficiency.
The things I think is interesting about German specifically is that it’s one of the languages that’s most similar to English, aside from Dutch. So Germans have the best chance at learning English & structuring sentences correctly!!
Way to go Philip! Congratulations for turning your life around. As you correctly said, realising their mistakes and asking for help is a super power. You had it and used it. Great story
As someone who is half German. I used to also get a lot of racial abuse as a child, and I always wondered if they saw the irony in using 'Nazi' as a racial slur.
@@miyubeilschmidt5351 I believe what they meant was that, having been bullied as a kid for being German, it was quite ironic for people to use the word 'Nazi' to verbally abuse him, since Nazis are known for their intolerance and hatred towards other ethnic groups.
Racial, ethnic, and national identity all have different meanings. You can’t have a slur against a national identity/ country, especially with the “slur” is a word from a group who had an abusive position of power.
Most telling was him saying the first time he heard someone tell him he's a good person was from listening to hard-core Nazi music. A lot of men are in the exact same boat. Give some love to your sons, brothers and fathers.
Watching this as a brown person. I completely see how it happened. I really wished he would have gotten more support and help at a young age before he found the support and help in the neo nazi group. It's very interesting seeing him talk about his past and agreeing that he was wrong.
I was an alcoholic for many years and I have to say it sort of sounds very similar. I would get into fights in nightclubs for no reason and drink myself into a state where I would wake up in alleyways covered in sick and blood. My family ended up hating me because I had a good childhood, nothing but that first drink as a teenager and my own attitude led me down that path. When I finally ended up getting serious withdrawals and went to hospital for help I found out I was just short of having complete liver failure. That was my life for 6 years. I can hardly even remember most of it aside from the horrible things I did and got into danger. It's an awful baggage to carry around but you just got to let go like this guy said otherwise you go mad and start thinking about topping yourself as a solution.
As uncomfortable and difficult as conversations like these are in order to put an end to a harmful movement you need to try to understand the people in the movement and what led them in that direction. I'm glad he explained why he ended up that way without making excuses he held himself responsible
@@deeznutz8320 No it's not. Animals don't hate. Animals react. Fear and protection of territory. We humans have taken fear and refined it into hate.. we humans are all alike. No matter our colour or culture. Our basic needs are the same, our basic fears are the same. Our reactions are the same. Hate and revenge aren't our basic feelings.
@jessie6600 No. It doesn't hate the other lion. It's defending it's terf.. Being against other people for stupid things like skin colour is bad. And stupid.
he keeps making sure hes saying the right words and said he doesnt speak english as good as he did when they moved there when he was a kid but he actually speaks completely fluently. good to see he completely changed his life around
I remember watching Sean Strickland saying he was walking around with swastikas and later discovered that he wasn't racist, he was just angry. There's a lot of anger on the world.
he is the perfect example of what a kid can become because of the misinformation that he was fed. if you are taught all your life that you are superior to other people, there is no suprise they would grow up a fascist.
This story was less about misinformation and more about bullying and persecution. He said it himself, the whole world stood on his neck but the only group that accepted him was the neonazis. If you want this to stop the answer is not to stop misinformation, but to stop acting like cunts.
I was bullied for being a German for 10 years and alienated for Dutch society. Never ever thought of becoming a nazi. If you listen he didn't want to leave Britten when his parents moved to Germany.
It’s so good to see how much he’s changed for the better. This is so refreshing to see someone who was to extreme to change for the better is brilliant. I’m glad he’s changed and is able to say he messed up massively
In 2003 I was working in a town called Kitzingen and living in an hotel on the edge of town. On Christmas Eve night I was bored in the hotel on my own and decided to walk into town to see what was going on and have a few drinks. The first bar I came to was called Kugelfang, it looked Ok so I walked in, sat at the bar and ordered a beer. There was probably half a dozen blokes at the bar and two old men sat a table. One of the blokes at the bar walked over and started talking to me in English, he said his name was "Kriegy" and that he was a former artilleryman in the Bundeswehr. A minute or two later he walked off to his friends and they started talking in German and I noticed they kept looking at me. It was a bit weird but I was having one beer and leaving anyway so I wasn't really worried. Next thing the bar tender leans over and gently says I have entered his brothers German nationalist bar and the blokes are going to beat me up when I leave because I'm a foreigner, so why not have another drink? I was getting a bit worried and seemed short of options so I said yes. Next he poured me a pint, walked to the two old men sat in a booth, chatted for a short while and then walked back to me. These two men would like you to sit with them he said, so I did. I sat there for ten minutes nursing my drink with two old men who spoke no English to me, or even really acknowledged I was there. Not long after that, the bartender returns and quietly told me that the two old men were Wehrmacht veterans and they had given me their protection. Nobody was beating me up tonight and I could leave when I was ready.
Happy for the guy. He holds himself accountable and regrets how he was living. Even admitted he knew he was in the wrong. Takes alot to take mental stock and go back and say " i was the asshole in this situation, i wasnt the good guy" not many people have the capacity to do that. We all want to belive what we are doing and what we belive is right.
@@JamesSmith-qs4hx actually, he and his group ran the money laundering tattoo stores back in the day (also extortioning the few other tattoo artists that weren't part of their group), so at least the town can now get a haircut and slightly less shitty tattoos, in significantly improved atmosphere..
"To ask for help is a superpower." WOW. The humility and courage of this man is so beautiful. When he wonders "Is it ok for me to be loved again?", I see a person who has never really encountered love; when we are only accustomed to a counterfeit love we are completely upended and redeemed by the real thing.
Really interesting - you've come a long way and it's a hopeful story to see someone turn themselves around. BTW, I love the way the Geordie accent slips in every now and again to his English.
I've been watching Philip's videos in German on and off over the years but never knew he could speak English this well, let alone had a detectable Geordie accent when he's speaking it lol. He's doing some great work for deradicalisation
One hundred percent, asking for help is a superpower. It’s also a way to show you don’t know everything but are willing to ask for help and learn. There is no difference between asking for this kind of help and asking for help to make a home repair. There’s more pride in asking for help than trying to hide the fact that you don’t know what you’re doing.
What a fascinating interview! It’s easy to hate people with views like his used to be, but if anything it just makes it all the more impressive that he can turn his life and his beliefs. Very proud of him.
I wasn't a neo nazi, it never got that far, but i was raised american conservative. it's so incredibly difficult to deconstruct views that you've adopted during your formative years. the fear of rejection is real, but it's so worth it to get out of that trap of hate. filling your life with hate like that.. it eats at you
Same here. Thankfully I was growing disenchanted by the time Trump got in office. The way pure hatred and ignorance has been normalized and even given a mainstream platform is scary and infuriating. Until America recognizes it's long history of race-based violence and stops sweeping everything under the rug, people like Trump will rise to power again and again.
These interviews are awesome. I blocked Lad Bible on FB years ago because I felt their content was puerile and sexist. They've changed so much over the past few years. Great work.
I blocked fb ladbible about a year ago because it became less about fun stories and memes and every post became very agenda based and more woke. They started reposting the same things over and over, so I decided to get rid of it
@@acanadian9776 I mean, if you look at their videos 1y ago, "SA in mormon church", featuring murderers, a comedian who makes sexist jokes all the time. Where's the woke? He's obviously a delusional oblivious low intelligence bot with fallacious thoughts
I had a friend who was part of a neo-nazi group in a small rural town in Germany when we went to school together. We were friends before and he sorta "grew" into that, so I always had some contact with him before AND after, but then I moved away to go to uni. Some years later I met him again at a side job I was doing, and he told me that not only had he left behind his little gang, he was actually an active speaker against racism in general, neo-nazis and their organization in particular and very politically active in left-wing circles. We lost touch again after that, but last I heard he's working for an insurance company now and is still politically active the same way as before. From what he told me it was exactly that kind of tribalism, that sense of belonging, that dragged him in and held him there when he was younger. So yeah, it's the lost, the ignored and the forgotten that flock to such movements, and you can absolutely understand why, and why they become so attractive. They really give you a feeling of purpose and direction, even if it's a horrid one. That's the danger of such groups, and of parties like AfD who got the same direction.
@@StemOpForumvoorDemocratie Shortest answer: Because left-wing politics operates on the principle of unity and fundamental equality while right-wing politics operates on the principle of separation and hierarchy. And since life is more complex than simple categories of hierarchy and control left-wing politics is more grounded in reality.
@@SatyreIkon That’s simply not true. Left wing politics operate on the principles of equity, which lead to seperation and hierarchy. You can see this in the modern left; promoting segration, racist policies like affirmative action. Right wing politics give people equality of choice, which could lead to some groups performing better or worse then others. And that is okay. We simply aren’t equal in outcome, although we should try to minimise the differences by getting rid of corporatism.
Role Model my ass! He is a clear thinker who has been beaten into submission, for now.. The spark is still there. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. He knows this. When German women, old people, and kids cannot walk safely in their own village for fear of foreign criminals , who do you blame then.? These foreigners flooding into Europe and America see the citizens as complete idiots. Much like when Europeans discovered the Doo-Doo birds. Stupid is as stupid does.
What an amazing personality! Ultra intelligent person, fascinating turn over! I have a zero interest in neo naz stuff i, I found the video randomly, however, this is one of the most inspiring life stories I've seen. When he said that he covered the mirror, because he hated himself and seeing his own face, it brought me to tears. Whatever the reason, he's true inspiration and hope that people can change and people can go on, and be happy. Me personally, I was at the edge of suicide (for completely different reasons) and I know what it is. Blessings to his family and all the best to his wonderful genuine soul.

It’s crazy that even though you can tell he is not a perfectly fluent English speaker, he is still able to eloquently articulate his experiences and the lessons that he has learned.
What a story, what a human. I want to give him a hug and thank him for his hard work and how he took responsibility for what he did. He deserve all the love and all the support ❤
Really good interview and interesting to hear from a different perspective. Racism/Hatred is definitely learned. When I was younger my best friends were these two White Brothers, who lived up the road from me. My Mum got on with their Mum etc etc etc. One day I went around to their house, so we could 'play out' (as we called it) and one of the Brothers opened the door and said " I'm sorry but we are not allowed to play with you anymore". I did'nt understand, so I went home and told my Mum, who clearly understood what was going on. Anyway, it turns out that their Mum had a new Boyfriend...... the Leader (or Second) of the National Front. The two Brothers went on to join the BNP. Like I said, Racism/Hatred is definitely learned.
@@hannahlister9660 Hi, it is sad but no need to apologise. It is no where near the worse thing that has happened to me but like all of the instances, I learn the lesson and grow a bit more.
I’m sorry to hear that happened to you. Interestingly I had a very similar experience but I am white and my friends were black. We were neighbours and I used to play football in their garden with them for years until one day the older boy just stopped talking to me. I then asked his younger brother what had happened and he became sheepish, but eventually told me his Mum wasn’t happy with her boys playing with a white boy. I must’ve only been 9/10 years old, and that’s one of my first memories of seeing racism. It’s so sad as to me, we all bleed red!
@@samr2332100% man, which is so so sad. I’ll teach my son to never look at anyone different due to race/ethnicity/sexuality. If everybody does that, the world will be a better place in the next 50 years.
considering what this man was involved in, his turn around and his honesty and willingness to be vulnerable is both inspiring and commendable. This is a man who has the skill and the power to help many people from a similar background looking to be liberated. Peace and heavenly Blessings
Wow 😢 amazing story … what a story of how someone no matter their past can choose to change . We all have the power to choose hate or goodness kindness or evil and he has inspired me to believe in the power of goodness in everyone no matter how far down a rabbit hole you have gone. Peace and blessings to him.
He shows the process of a group identification with a criminal gang, the eventual disenchantment, the painful separation and the road to rehabilitation. I’m sure his interviews and other actions are a way that he attempts to do his penance. I appreciated him, sharing his story with honesty, and also the hope he engenders by offering himself as a model of recovery and rehabilitation
I know a guy who got ensnared in hate groups when we were teenagers. That stuff ended when he dropped acid a couple of times. He had an epiphany, started getting all his hate tattoos covered and is now a mega chill tattoo artist
I can't imagine hating all day every day, what a truly terrible waste of life. Ironically it must have a detrimental impact on a body when somebody hates all the time, it reflects in on itself.
I said the same thing you said.. How stressing and tiring it must be to wake up just hating people. I'm normally a happy go lucky person, I try to live each day as new and move on from what happened the day before so, I can't imagine waking up with that type of hate all day, every day
@@sn1000kany extreme group has that. Thing is people in these groups were miserable before and probably were full of hate anyway just not directed towards anyone specific. I'm left winged but was groomed into such neo nazi group as a child (11/12) and honestly, I see the same hatred and additude of neonazis in more modern extremist groups from incels to far left groups, from more violent ones like Antifa to coloured haired girls on Twitter cancelling everyone, to groups like Ancaps that I have noticed tends to fuel their anger about being social outcasts towards society on general, not specific ethnicity or group, and finally religious extremism, muslim or christian its the same shit and the same people everytime. The common thing with then all is that they were completely isolated from normal social life as kids or teens and sometimes adults, and in modern times, became chronically online and at some point stumbled into a pipeline - there's this great videoseries on RUclips called the alt right pipeline but it's not just about alt right, this applies to each one of these groups from far right to far left.
@@DamesanglanteYoure absolutely right. As someone who is as racist as they come (yes I am NS) the most hate I've seen had actually come from leftists, I've never seen anything like the hate they have. But hate isn't necessarily bad, you just have to be a balanced person
I'm not justifying it but a bunch of geordie kids back in the 80s probably where told a lot of bad things about Germans from there grandparents who where in ww2 so I can understand it to a degree put its definitely wrong
@@mathildes8583 basically , followers. If today, if it were 1933 ,they would have been good nazi . Just follow the herd because everyone is doing it and its socially acceptable.
Thank you Philip for being so honest about your experience. I'm really sorry for how you wound up getting swept up in hate, you deserved more real love. I'm impressed you came out of that experience with a clear head, and you're doing good things now. I know what it's like to grow up around senseless hate, and what it does to you. Your story was fascinating & heartbreaking to listen to.
The whole damned system is based on senseless hate dude. Remember 2020? Remember the riots? Remember all the murders? Remember how easily they whip leftists and non whites into a frenzy? What the hell is that? Am I supposed to just accept that???
As a guy who comes from an English and Polish background in England and grew up during the 90's, 38 year old Pete wants to think he'd have befriended this kid and hopefully mitigated what he'd have to become. Unfortunately, given the upbringing I had, I was taught to dislike and distrust the Germans and Russians. My childhood was rife with maybe not hatred but a deep resentment for both nations. I'd be a hypocrite to say I'd have risen above it because I damn well wouldn't because hatred taught early carries through. It's not until you're an adult and see through the bollocks and actually meet the present day people that you realise hate isn't worth the bother. My hat goes off to Phillip for realising there's another way.
Good thing you realize that Janus but dont you ever think they have their best interest at heart. Just because they stopped shooting or dropping bombs on you pollacks doesnt mean that they cant fuck you up economically
It doesn’t take being in a group like this, to have a hopeful wake up call. Many need to have this conversation with themselves about how they HATE. Especially right now.
What a wonderful example of how to actually turn your life around and learning to love yourself again in order to be able to truly love others. Thank you so much for sharing!
Appreciate the honesty, u can tell he was completely transparent. I'm happy that he broke away from that life & that his getting married. Congratulations

Hes a great guy, did some interviews in german and has a Yt Channel where he tells stories about his past in Detail.
he articulates this so well, can tell he's done a lot of introspection. "even evil can have charisma", "you're not evil full time, later in the day you can be a good friend", so interesting
Charisma is one of the most powerful skills a person can have.
You could be an incompetent idiot but if you can speak well enough to make people really feel things, and make them believe what you're saying is truth.
Astounding things can happen. Like the "height" of Nazi Germany.
Someone once said to me that "Satan isn't the big, red, scary goat monster drawings depict him as. He's the most beautiful, charming man in the world so everyone will follow him." I'm not religious myself but this made me think.

@@LBO162his youtube name literally says "Militia". He is obviously a Nazi himself.
I learned this lesson myself. I moved to a different country (the USA) and many (if not most) people here are absolutly terrible people, but they still can be nice to you. They still can be good neighbors or family members. They literally support to destroy another country for profit and they tell you this without shame, but invide you to stay a week in their house while being on vacation.
The amount of self-reflection in this video is outstanding. Philip is incredibly self-aware.
its normal getting older?
@@harry.flashman then why are the so many older neo nazis
@@harry.flashman
No, it really isn’t. Being an adult taught me that adults are, in a lot of cases, bigger children than actual children. Being that self-aware and being able to reflect on yourself that much speaks a whole lot about him.
No, he’s just a grifter looking for good g0y points from the system
Their group was not wrong about muslims though. We have many media and police reports where people have inflitrated local mosques and what they teach to their people in there is not love or understanding. Native europeans and christians are considered trash among muslims.
I love how he combines taking responsibility with an appreciation of the power of the conditions that radicalise a person. 'If I had had this help I wouldn't have radicalised myself'.
but it is true bro, look up for the Third Wave experiment. a school teacher was able to put his students in the same mindset in less than a week
I think one of the most poignant things I had heard about neo-nazis is the way they portray themselves in the beginning stages of exposure. They play nice and try to seem reasonable in order to draw new recruits in. Which is why it is so crucial that people be educated on the true, horrific nature of their group. Here in America, for example, we have a political party that is actively downplaying the radical nature of these types of hate groups.
such a good take
It's how it always is. Every gang member, ever radical came from a point in their lives where help was just not available to them, or even just an ear to talk to. Doesn't mean j won't judge them however
@@stoned_kakapo8736or maybe I don’t want to get graped and killed by immies
I was in a neo Nazi group from age 18-26, he’s 100% right. It feels like a family. I spent Christmas and thanksgiving with them, a bunch of us went to another members college graduation, we all just hung out and spent time together half of the time. Evil isn’t always evil but we were always politicking. We could be having a family bbq with kids and wives around and in the meantime somebody fucked up so we’re in the garage handling it. And then when you decide you don’t want to be part of it anymore because you’ve been basically lying to yourself and everyone around you just to fit in: you find out how conditional all of these relationships you’ve built over the years really is
And then a 12 year old White girl got raped by a shitskin on the street but at least youre not an evil natsee anymore. So proud!
I can gladly tell you that ppl like me who did not come to the west voluntarily, but was kidnapped and sold as international adoptees, have not only endured horrible circumstances growing up as adoptees, but also duringENTIRE CHILDHOOD WAS on a daily basis TRAUMATIZED and deeply AFRAID of ppl like you. I suffer everyday from racism and still as an old woman nazis and racists petrifies me bc all the aggressions, bullying and violence I had to endure from a very young age, all in the name of racism.

I noticed that too. He has a good jordy inflections at points. He's a good presenter.
As a Geordie, my brain was so confused at first 😂 The flip flop between Geordie and German accent was fascinating !I was waiting for a Whyeye to slip out from him
I didn't here a very pronounced, distinct, sustained geordia accent from him. Some the words have an english deflection, but for most part he speaks as a German would.
I could hear it also, but it also sounded a bit irish, which goes to show you the influence the Germanic tribes the vikings had on our accents.

He wasn't only a neo nazi. After he grew tired of that kind of life he started a rocker gang and went deep into organised crime, drugs, extortion, pimping.
He has had a pretty eventful life.
I encourage everyone to pay his channel a visit. He is one of the few people who can talk about his dark past in a entertaining way without glorifying it.
It's also worth mentioning it that he already tried to quit his life of hate and crime before the police finally catched up with him.
I love how his Geordie twang still comes through when he is speaking in English. Also how he has turned everything around. Gan on bonny lad!
freakin interesting isnt it? that mixed up german accent and the way hey says "stuff" or "cold blooded".
Never leave anybody behind. I love that. What struck me about Philip is that he feels things so intensely, whether it be when he was younger and angry at the world, or even in prison as an adult so angry at himself. He has done so much work on himself and, as a result, definitely deserves the life he has now.

My father is a white supremacist Skinhead, and it's really interesting to hear this man's perspective on what it's like to be in a group like that. I was always around to hear so much of the horrible things my dad would say, and I'm sure he was censoring himself around us kids so I can't imagine what he was saying in private. What this man said about your entire life being taken up by hate is absolutely true. I'm glad I didn't grow into an adult who shares his beliefs, but they definitely poisoned me as a child. It's a horrible, hateful mindset that really makes your life miserable.
My own father radicalized sometime into my teenage years, and for a bit I followed suit. From 14 to 16 years old, I was the most vile and disgusting I had ever been.
Now, at 21, I can recognize my own sexuality and be comfortable with myself, but I regret having told my father, because now he seeks to "prove" to me that I've been brainwashed, and asks how I'd know since I haven't even had intercourse, because why believe your own son about his own feelings? Oh yeah, feelings are enemy #1, forgot about that. Only logic allowed in sexual relationships, I guess.
Even my own brother proudly proclaims that my "Denial of reality" will "bite me in the ass." I hope I can get my GED and find a group of people that accept me for who the fuck *I* am, rather than mold and shape me to their liking. As hopeless as I feel now, I had even less when I believed in the bullshit.

Right? It's totally important for keeping society in check.
@@topfeedcoco pathetic

o was bullied too it changed me i became mean and disrespectful i aggressive and lost the wil to live but now ive bin picking my life up latly i even bacame very good friends with the most annoying one because we stil has alot in common
Bullying is horrible and will hold people back for life...but also parental neglect; parents have to be educated about the age group their kid is in n respect it. Moving a child between the age of 12 to 16 is a really bad idea. The second move really messed this guy up. Cuz its our prime time to learn how to socialise and to develop a sense of belongin
My Dad had a similar experience. When he was 7 he was shipped from Scotland to Japan, without his parents, to live with relatives. After 4 years he was sent back. To this day he still talks about the negative impact it had on him.
i feel that
It definitely has affects, a similar story with my sister where she was living with relatives for a few years abroad. 100% it impacts a child in a very negative way. I don’t think we really bonded properly as children. Our relationship is not terrible but it’s not the best either and I think this is part of it. Though not all of it it can be tumultuous at times and we are both grown adults.
It's natural for us to be with our own race. Now that Scotland is being overran with extremely hostile foreigners, we are being robbed of that
What happened
true enough. When I was 7, my family & I left Russia for Germany and at some point in my late teens, I had problems with my Identity.
Russians saw me as a German, Germans saw me as a Russian, you never truly belong to any of these groups.
It took me some time, but I realized that I'm not a "russian" German or a "german" Russian, I am me and people around me accept me for who I am, not what I am.
So much harm can be avoided if parents actually talk with and appreciate their children, especially in their teens.
Most adults forget that a child isn't just a ball of clay to be molded & then left alone. They are a small human that have thoughts & emotions of their own and sometimes they don't know how to operate them.
Depends on the adult, if you have a far. Left extremist activist as a parent. They're gonna pump your head full of nonsense, like the lie. That a boy can become a girl and do way more harm than not liking people that are a different color skin or you know if you're from an area like Detroit, like I am, i just saw how black people behave for twenty five years informed to my own opinion.I have nothing to do with them. That doesn't make me a bad person
@@missyouwish88 most people are at best average at most things they do. That includes raising another human being. Why should it be different? It's a first time for people.

Found this really interesting. I was also in a similar movement but in the UK. I got into it later, in my late twenties and being a woman approached this differently, but I remember waking up everyday full of hate. It was a relief to leave this life behind. Others are trying to keep me there through bullying and gang stalking but I refuse to be bullied after turning my life around. Now they can wake up full of hate everyday. I wake up free and spend my days trying to help others. This guy has courage and he has turned his life around. Good for him.
And good for you. Takes courage to even post your comment admitting you were the same. 🤍
You're a very courageous woman. Good on you for standing up to bullies and turning your life around.
as a woman myself i always find it a bit difficult to understand what is the appeal of these kind of movements to woman in particular, since they often have such a subordinate role and its often a very masculine environment that celebrates masculinity. May I ask what was the appeal to you? (please dont read this as judgemental I'm really happy you found your way out that must have taken a lot of strenght, im just curious)
@@foolonthehill5355 I have never thought of myself as a woman. I was raised by a man with other men. I had a shit childhood and was full of hate and bitterness. These people took me in and made me feel part of something, a family. I married a guy with the same views but the constant hatred are away at me. I didn’t start coming out of this till my forties but now can see it for what it was. I now have friends from different countries and religions and they accept me for who I am now but are fully aware of my past. Letting the hatred go has been the way I have started to heal from the abuse I suffered during my childhood. I still think I am a man but the hatred has gone.

For the people who wanna know: when speaking German, Phillip got a quite heavy northern accent. Thats probably why his German accent doesn't really sound "standard".
i would rather say he doesnt have much of an accent at all because he learned englisch around natives at a early age.
@@constantlylearnandgrow3487they’re talking about how he sounds when speaking German, not when he speaks English. He speaks German with a Northern German accent, which makes sense as he (and his parents) are from Lübeck which is a far Northern German city that’s near the border of Denmark.
You can hear it, when he say: meine mudder
What a journey Philip has taken, and it seems clear when children are cruel and bully their schoolmates the anger begins to build, then parents who don't engage emotionally add the kindling, then the meeting up with other disenfranchised teens become the spark that starts the 🔥. I also agree with Philip how important it is to get to know people from different cultures and backgrounds, it teaches you diversity and empathy. It is a relief and appreciation that Philip has taught himself how to feel with his soul not his ego, may the rest of his life be full of kindness and love.
Normal people take up martial arts or combat to deal with that stuff, I was heavily bullied but never joined any extremist groups.
songoku9348,
Relieved to hear that, maybe you have lived more lifetimes, or had outside support systems, it's usually a viscous combination with what feels like no love that sets some young men off. So glad you had it in you to find a more positive way to work through that hurt that turned to anger not everyone can. Cheers
@@bkm2797 Being a Muslim, you can respectfully imagine what my life has been like. Especially post 9/11, I always see combat sports and martial arts as a way to defend oneself and ensure bullying won’t ever happen again. That’s the best course of action, you cannot change the past, but you create a better future.
songoku9348,
It's so sad when children are taught to hate by their parents, teachers and those they hang around with, especially since they have had no experience with how kind Muslims are, it's so important to teach our children to embrace and learn about the different cultures, that is when we become our best! Sorry you have to suffer with such ignorance, but please know we are not all like that, and we speak out if we hear such negative thinking.❤️
I don't think it's the kids bullying him that made him a Nazi. Sure, it made him a far easier target but he was essentially influenced through his music and being groomed into the movement. Any disenfranchised person is an easy target and particularly vulnerable to it.
What he said about meeting people from different countries and cultures being so important to "healing" is so very true. I was going down the far right rabbit hole when I was younger, and I got snapped out of that by getting some new roommates - refugees from Syria and Eritrea. It was insanely hard in the beginning, but over time I questioned my own beliefs more and more and I'm grateful I was able to break out of that hate before it was too late for me. Funnily enough now, about 10 years later, I too am a buddhist so I can imagine that definitely had a big influence on his journey as well.
This video randomly appeared on my feed but I’m so glad I watched it.
Phillip, I hope you read everybody’s comments on here. I know you have remorse about the lives you destroyed, that is very apparent. You talking so candidly and honestly may help to save future lives .

@@jontaedouglas7244More like the cult of atheism.
You can't tho.. There's a difference between sieg heiling and advocating for genocide versus wanting worker rights or wanting an egalitarian society that treats everyone equally..
Religion is another for sure
When he says he woke up hating and he hung around people that were also hate filled is EXACTLY how I felt as a southern Baptist Christian. The moment I left the religion, I was free of hate filled judgement of others. How else could I believe someone deserved hell unless I really hated them? It’s disgusting.
Not a Baptist but a non denominational Christian here and I have to say as someone who has experienced the worst and the best from Christians. I can happily say they were hypocrits. God says it isn't our place to judge but to love. Not hate. All of us sin, we are human but they lost something along the way and forgot Jesus and his message all together it seems. Im so sorry you had that experience because I agree once you are out its freeing. As if a weight had been lifted off your very soul.
I find that the best people who are filled with the holy spirit and Love are Christians but I've also noticed that the most hate-filled and hurt people I've met are also so called Christians. ❤❤❤
Christianity is filled with judgement and hate.
Oxytocin bonds you to your comrades and makes you gang up against the other. It's just a group dynamic. Doesn't really matter the group. Breaking this bond just opens you up.
From a fellow former Baptist: I was kicked out for being homosexual by the people who claim ownership of love and morality...the people I considered family my entire life. There is no hate like Christian love.
@@kyegaming3193 I disagree. My brother is a homosextual and regaurdless of what he does we've made it known as a whole family of Christians we will always love him and he always has a place with us. Im so sorry that they did that to you. It was wrong.
Im not placing blame anywhere, but a good childhood doesn't necessarily equate to responsible parents. I think the moment his parents found a swastika in his room, they had an obligation to educate him on the significance of associating with such a symbol. Simply hiding it and staying quiet about it significantly undermines the danger of continuing down that path.
they probably tried but he did not want to listen at that time.
The Germans were once a proud and strong people. They’ve been shamed into oblivion over a century of propaganda painting them as evil. I would also shield my child from that grief.
@@tobiasphilippwittlinger8753he said they never talked to him about it, they just ignored it

@@followerofthetrain6336 Wtf man, don't follow this path - thats just right wing narratives. I am german, I love my country and a lot of it's culture.

Being proud of the history of your country is dumb, even if there was a nation without guilt (and there is no such nation). I'm proud of the part I'm contributing to our society.
And wtf, nohody is painting modern germany as evil - most countrys have great respect for us; besides our lack of humor and us sticking to rules most stereotypes are very positive. I really don't know where people get those conspiracy theorys from, probably spending too much time on facebook or telegram.
They bullied him and called him a nazi. So he became a nazi. That's so fucking sad. What an enlightening video. I love how much self-reflection and accountability he has for his behavior. It paints a very clear picture of how these groups indoctrinate and groom angry vulnerable people. I am so happy he got out and left that life behind.
Exactly, they bullied him into being a nazi. Actions have consequences. There are very, very, very few people who are naturally evil, most people get treated horrible by the society and end up being bad apples.
They did the same to me, and then I decided to investigate the ideology. Can't say I regret it :)
Admirable that he said he "radicalised himself" rather than "was/became radicalised". That's a sign of someone who truly takes responsibility for their course in life.
It's true, but based on his story it's also very clear that he was groomed into the life. It's good that he takes responsibility for his actions, but he was clearly a very angry and vulnerable young man, which made him an easy target for radicalisation.
Philip: I can’t speak English very well
Also Philip: describes his own moral struggles and the inner workings of extremist groups in perfect English
Honestly as a British person who can speak a tiny bit of Welsh and German but not really converse in them. I'm continually amazed by the quality of people's English, doing their English down while having a full fledged conversation with you.
thats just us germans. most of us think our english is pretty bad, and when we speak it, even if the grammer is correct bc of the accent.
most wouldnt gave an interview in english bc of that, but if they would just do it, it would pretty much turn out the same. mostly correct english, but with an accent, maybe they would talk a bit slower, bc they dont train it regularly.
Honestly, he speaks better English than some English people I know! 😂
@@Luzi-chan It's actually a really common belief/insecurity - this idea that if you don't sound exactly like a particular group that your language skills (English, or any other language) aren't good enough. I think a bigger part of it is the feeling as you speak, about how much more effort it takes to express yourself. But that effort doesn't mean the product is inferior. And difference doesn't equal deficiency.
The things I think is interesting about German specifically is that it’s one of the languages that’s most similar to English, aside from Dutch. So Germans have the best chance at learning English & structuring sentences correctly!!
Once a Geordie, always a Geordie. Seems like he has truly changed his life around for the better and for others. He should be proud of himself!

Way to go Philip! Congratulations for turning your life around.
As you correctly said, realising their mistakes and asking for help is a super power.
You had it and used it.
Great story

As someone who is half German. I used to also get a lot of racial abuse as a child, and I always wondered if they saw the irony in using 'Nazi' as a racial slur.
Nazi isnt even a race lol
@@miyubeilschmidt5351your a nahtzee
@@miyubeilschmidt5351 I believe what they meant was that, having been bullied as a kid for being German, it was quite ironic for people to use the word 'Nazi' to verbally abuse him, since Nazis are known for their intolerance and hatred towards other ethnic groups.
Racial, ethnic, and national identity all have different meanings. You can’t have a slur against a national identity/ country, especially with the “slur” is a word from a group who had an abusive position of power.
@@miyubeilschmidt5351they were being called a nazi because they were German, in the specific context is was a racial slur
Most telling was him saying the first time he heard someone tell him he's a good person was from listening to hard-core Nazi music.
A lot of men are in the exact same boat. Give some love to your sons, brothers and fathers.
And guy, your Videos look like funny 👍🏼😅
Watching this as a brown person. I completely see how it happened. I really wished he would have gotten more support and help at a young age before he found the support and help in the neo nazi group. It's very interesting seeing him talk about his past and agreeing that he was wrong.
I was an alcoholic for many years and I have to say it sort of sounds very similar. I would get into fights in nightclubs for no reason and drink myself into a state where I would wake up in alleyways covered in sick and blood. My family ended up hating me because I had a good childhood, nothing but that first drink as a teenager and my own attitude led me down that path. When I finally ended up getting serious withdrawals and went to hospital for help I found out I was just short of having complete liver failure. That was my life for 6 years. I can hardly even remember most of it aside from the horrible things I did and got into danger. It's an awful baggage to carry around but you just got to let go like this guy said otherwise you go mad and start thinking about topping yourself as a solution.
As uncomfortable and difficult as conversations like these are in order to put an end to a harmful movement you need to try to understand the people in the movement and what led them in that direction. I'm glad he explained why he ended up that way without making excuses he held himself responsible
It's great that he is speaking about this.. hopefully young people will listen.. hate is no way to live..
Hate is natural
@@deeznutz8320 No it's not. Animals don't hate. Animals react. Fear and protection of territory. We humans have taken fear and refined it into hate.. we humans are all alike. No matter our colour or culture. Our basic needs are the same, our basic fears are the same. Our reactions are the same. Hate and revenge aren't our basic feelings.
@@deeznutz8320 bot
@jessie6600 No. It doesn't hate the other lion. It's defending it's terf.. Being against other people for stupid things like skin colour is bad. And stupid.
@jessie6600 Yes they do. But it's all based on hate. They don't need to do it, they want to do it, bc they hate.
he keeps making sure hes saying the right words and said he doesnt speak english as good as he did when they moved there when he was a kid but he actually speaks completely fluently. good to see he completely changed his life around
I remember watching Sean Strickland saying he was walking around with swastikas and later discovered that he wasn't racist, he was just angry. There's a lot of anger on the world.
he is the perfect example of what a kid can become because of the misinformation that he was fed. if you are taught all your life that you are superior to other people, there is no suprise they would grow up a fascist.
This story was less about misinformation and more about bullying and persecution. He said it himself, the whole world stood on his neck but the only group that accepted him was the neonazis. If you want this to stop the answer is not to stop misinformation, but to stop acting like cunts.
Don't forget that he was alienated first for no reason other than being German. Massive factor.
I feel like it was way more his need of belonging to a group since he was bullied and called out
I was bullied for being a German for 10 years and alienated for Dutch society. Never ever thought of becoming a nazi.
If you listen he didn't want to leave Britten when his parents moved to Germany.
Being mistreated by the other kids is not misinformation. He was a time bomb long before he became a nazi.
Man. I allmost cried of ur story. Me as an exNazi knows exactly that ur speaking 100%right! Live life and stop the HATE!! Thanks man
Good on you man. Hate is a waste of time. Hope you’re doing well

This was SO touching. "It's alright to be angry". This hit me so hard.
These are my favorite kind of stories. It shows that people CAN change.
It's amazing how much the geordie accent came through more as the interview went on... awesome interview!
It’s so good to see how much he’s changed for the better. This is so refreshing to see someone who was to extreme to change for the better is brilliant. I’m glad he’s changed and is able to say he messed up massively

In 2003 I was working in a town called Kitzingen and living in an hotel on the edge of town. On Christmas Eve night I was bored in the hotel on my own and decided to walk into town to see what was going on and have a few drinks. The first bar I came to was called Kugelfang, it looked Ok so I walked in, sat at the bar and ordered a beer. There was probably half a dozen blokes at the bar and two old men sat a table. One of the blokes at the bar walked over and started talking to me in English, he said his name was "Kriegy" and that he was a former artilleryman in the Bundeswehr. A minute or two later he walked off to his friends and they started talking in German and I noticed they kept looking at me. It was a bit weird but I was having one beer and leaving anyway so I wasn't really worried. Next thing the bar tender leans over and gently says I have entered his brothers German nationalist bar and the blokes are going to beat me up when I leave because I'm a foreigner, so why not have another drink? I was getting a bit worried and seemed short of options so I said yes. Next he poured me a pint, walked to the two old men sat in a booth, chatted for a short while and then walked back to me. These two men would like you to sit with them he said, so I did. I sat there for ten minutes nursing my drink with two old men who spoke no English to me, or even really acknowledged I was there. Not long after that, the bartender returns and quietly told me that the two old men were Wehrmacht veterans and they had given me their protection. Nobody was beating me up tonight and I could leave when I was ready.
This is very powerful to watch. Very proud of your strength and courage! Thank you for sharing. Its crazy how much loneliness can control us.
Yo, his accent shift when he said Newcastle is amazing!
Happy for the guy. He holds himself accountable and regrets how he was living. Even admitted he knew he was in the wrong. Takes alot to take mental stock and go back and say " i was the asshole in this situation, i wasnt the good guy" not many people have the capacity to do that. We all want to belive what we are doing and what we belive is right.
Yeah, and now his town is full of money laundering barbers shops.....
@@JamesSmith-qs4hx actually, he and his group ran the money laundering tattoo stores back in the day (also extortioning the few other tattoo artists that weren't part of their group), so at least the town can now get a haircut and slightly less shitty tattoos, in significantly improved atmosphere..
@decnet100 minus the actual hatred that's there now.
"To ask for help is a superpower." WOW. The humility and courage of this man is so beautiful. When he wonders "Is it ok for me to be loved again?", I see a person who has never really encountered love; when we are only accustomed to a counterfeit love we are completely upended and redeemed by the real thing.
Really interesting - you've come a long way and it's a hopeful story to see someone turn themselves around.
BTW, I love the way the Geordie accent slips in every now and again to his English.
I've been watching Philip's videos in German on and off over the years but never knew he could speak English this well, let alone had a detectable Geordie accent when he's speaking it lol. He's doing some great work for deradicalisation
One hundred percent, asking for help is a superpower. It’s also a way to show you don’t know everything but are willing to ask for help and learn. There is no difference between asking for this kind of help and asking for help to make a home repair. There’s more pride in asking for help than trying to hide the fact that you don’t know what you’re doing.

What a fascinating interview! It’s easy to hate people with views like his used to be, but if anything it just makes it all the more impressive that he can turn his life and his beliefs. Very proud of him.
I wasn't a neo nazi, it never got that far, but i was raised american conservative. it's so incredibly difficult to deconstruct views that you've adopted during your formative years. the fear of rejection is real, but it's so worth it to get out of that trap of hate. filling your life with hate like that.. it eats at you
The 'hate' is on both sides, the far-left can be equally as hateful as some conservatives, they also use violence against those with opposing views
Same here. Thankfully I was growing disenchanted by the time Trump got in office. The way pure hatred and ignorance has been normalized and even given a mainstream platform is scary and infuriating. Until America recognizes it's long history of race-based violence and stops sweeping everything under the rug, people like Trump will rise to power again and again.
These interviews are awesome. I blocked Lad Bible on FB years ago because I felt their content was puerile and sexist. They've changed so much over the past few years. Great work.

I had a friend who was part of a neo-nazi group in a small rural town in Germany when we went to school together. We were friends before and he sorta "grew" into that, so I always had some contact with him before AND after, but then I moved away to go to uni. Some years later I met him again at a side job I was doing, and he told me that not only had he left behind his little gang, he was actually an active speaker against racism in general, neo-nazis and their organization in particular and very politically active in left-wing circles. We lost touch again after that, but last I heard he's working for an insurance company now and is still politically active the same way as before. From what he told me it was exactly that kind of tribalism, that sense of belonging, that dragged him in and held him there when he was younger. So yeah, it's the lost, the ignored and the forgotten that flock to such movements, and you can absolutely understand why, and why they become so attractive. They really give you a feeling of purpose and direction, even if it's a horrid one. That's the danger of such groups, and of parties like AfD who got the same direction.
Lol he just went from right to left. That’s not better at all
@@StemOpForumvoorDemocratie It absolutely is.
@@SatyreIkon Why?
@@StemOpForumvoorDemocratie Shortest answer: Because left-wing politics operates on the principle of unity and fundamental equality while right-wing politics operates on the principle of separation and hierarchy. And since life is more complex than simple categories of hierarchy and control left-wing politics is more grounded in reality.
@@SatyreIkon That’s simply not true.
Left wing politics operate on the principles of equity, which lead to seperation and hierarchy. You can see this in the modern left; promoting segration, racist policies like affirmative action.
Right wing politics give people equality of choice, which could lead to some groups performing better or worse then others.
And that is okay. We simply aren’t equal in outcome, although we should try to minimise the differences by getting rid of corporatism.

What an amazing personality! Ultra intelligent person, fascinating turn over! I have a zero interest in neo naz stuff i, I found the video randomly, however, this is one of the most inspiring life stories I've seen.
When he said that he covered the mirror, because he hated himself and seeing his own face, it brought me to tears.
Whatever the reason, he's true inspiration and hope that people can change and people can go on, and be happy. Me personally, I was at the edge of suicide (for completely different reasons) and I know what it is.
Blessings to his family and all the best to his wonderful genuine soul.
An incredible watch. Thank you. Oh, that German/Geordie accent is brilliant too!

Really good interview and interesting to hear from a different perspective. Racism/Hatred is definitely learned. When I was younger my best friends were these two White Brothers, who lived up the road from me. My Mum got on with their Mum etc etc etc. One day I went around to their house, so we could 'play out' (as we called it) and one of the Brothers opened the door and said " I'm sorry but we are not allowed to play with you anymore". I did'nt understand, so I went home and told my Mum, who clearly understood what was going on. Anyway, it turns out that their Mum had a new Boyfriend...... the Leader (or Second) of the National Front. The two Brothers went on to join the BNP. Like I said, Racism/Hatred is definitely learned.
Sorry this happened to you 😢
@@hannahlister9660 Hi, it is sad but no need to apologise. It is no where near the worse thing that has happened to me but like all of the instances, I learn the lesson and grow a bit more.
I’m sorry to hear that happened to you. Interestingly I had a very similar experience but I am white and my friends were black. We were neighbours and I used to play football in their garden with them for years until one day the older boy just stopped talking to me. I then asked his younger brother what had happened and he became sheepish, but eventually told me his Mum wasn’t happy with her boys playing with a white boy. I must’ve only been 9/10 years old, and that’s one of my first memories of seeing racism. It’s so sad as to me, we all bleed red!

Peace and blessings to him.
He shows the process of a group identification with a criminal gang, the eventual disenchantment, the painful separation and the road to rehabilitation. I’m sure his interviews and other actions are a way that he attempts to do his penance. I appreciated him, sharing his story with honesty, and also the hope he engenders by offering himself as a model of recovery and rehabilitation
I know a guy who got ensnared in hate groups when we were teenagers. That stuff ended when he dropped acid a couple of times. He had an epiphany, started getting all his hate tattoos covered and is now a mega chill tattoo artist
A degenerate
One thing I like is how he takes accountability for his actions and does lay blame on other people or factors.
This man is unbelievable and his insight and reflection is invaluable. I'm so thankful he spoke out and shared his experience.
I can't imagine hating all day every day, what a truly terrible waste of life. Ironically it must have a detrimental impact on a body when somebody hates all the time, it reflects in on itself.
I said the same thing you said.. How stressing and tiring it must be to wake up just hating people. I'm normally a happy go lucky person, I try to live each day as new and move on from what happened the day before so, I can't imagine waking up with that type of hate all day, every day
I had this exact thought. Nazis: the undisputed supreme masters of bad vibes
@@sn1000kany extreme group has that. Thing is people in these groups were miserable before and probably were full of hate anyway just not directed towards anyone specific.
I'm left winged but was groomed into such neo nazi group as a child (11/12) and honestly, I see the same hatred and additude of neonazis in more modern extremist groups from incels to far left groups, from more violent ones like Antifa to coloured haired girls on Twitter cancelling everyone, to groups like Ancaps that I have noticed tends to fuel their anger about being social outcasts towards society on general, not specific ethnicity or group, and finally religious extremism, muslim or christian its the same shit and the same people everytime. The common thing with then all is that they were completely isolated from normal social life as kids or teens and sometimes adults, and in modern times, became chronically online and at some point stumbled into a pipeline - there's this great videoseries on RUclips called the alt right pipeline but it's not just about alt right, this applies to each one of these groups from far right to far left.
All of you hate everyday.
You just hate people that is politically correct to hate. ;)
@@DamesanglanteYoure absolutely right. As someone who is as racist as they come (yes I am NS) the most hate I've seen had actually come from leftists, I've never seen anything like the hate they have. But hate isn't necessarily bad, you just have to be a balanced person
The combination of the German and Geordie accent is something to behold! Glad he turned it around. 😊

I'm impressed you came out of that experience with a clear head, and you're doing good things now. I know what it's like to grow up around senseless hate, and what it does to you. Your story was fascinating & heartbreaking to listen to.
The whole damned system is based on senseless hate dude. Remember 2020? Remember the riots? Remember all the murders? Remember how easily they whip leftists and non whites into a frenzy? What the hell is that? Am I supposed to just accept that???
As a guy who comes from an English and Polish background in England and grew up during the 90's, 38 year old Pete wants to think he'd have befriended this kid and hopefully mitigated what he'd have to become. Unfortunately, given the upbringing I had, I was taught to dislike and distrust the Germans and Russians. My childhood was rife with maybe not hatred but a deep resentment for both nations. I'd be a hypocrite to say I'd have risen above it because I damn well wouldn't because hatred taught early carries through. It's not until you're an adult and see through the bollocks and actually meet the present day people that you realise hate isn't worth the bother.
My hat goes off to Phillip for realising there's another way.
Good thing you realize that Janus but dont you ever think they have their best interest at heart. Just because they stopped shooting or dropping bombs on you pollacks doesnt mean that they cant fuck you up economically
