Don't be Ashamed of The Swastika, Do you even know what that Symbol is it's a Symbol of peace it was used in African culture Asian cultures and Hindu Cultures as well if Hitler was so racist then why did he used that Symbol. The whole Hitler was racist thing was created by Jews as Jewish Propaganda Against the Germans. Google what is a Swastika.
@Maazzzo In his channeö he goes in jail. Before he wasn't happy with his Lifestyle anymore. In the jail he talk about his wish not to be anymore criminal and a racist. Social workers works with him in jail and after jail. Without this people he maybe goes back in his old life.
@@Maazzzo Just know he is safe I guess. He has a new wife and new friends. They all give him stability in his new life. Also another ex-racist: Axel Reitz. They both make sometimes reactions together in RUclips.
@@ReynaLikk-yj4xw What exactly is your point? Water is wet yeah no shit people that lack empathy will fall for this crap. What came first the moron or the comment? Cute you thought you had a point hah that's funny!!
@@takeyourmeds-d9g Actually there were over 200 half Jews in the SS, obviously not in the highest echelons and they were well known, it was seen as a triumph of national socialism that despite their bad bloodlines the Aryan spirit could overcome "their ways" with the right education, personal goals and encouragement. Many of them would have been recorded as heroes, if the good guys had won that war.
The fact that Neo-Nazi's look down on the KKK and think they're all racists is the last thing I'd ever expect to hear. That was the most eye opening thing I got from this interview by far.
Yes, I know him too. I respect his work a lot. But I have to say, he lost much of his credibility. Because after his confession to be an ex-neo-nazi, he also claimed to be an ex-member of a violent biker-gang, an ex-footballthug (in higher AND lower leagues) and ex-criminal and so on. and of course, he wrote books about everything, selling his alleged experiences in books, interviews and keynotes. I honestly doubt that he was ALL of the above. I guess he just tries to sqeeze out as much money as possible.
@@elkarelsky to be honest I feel all those things kinda go hand in hand a bit it's not too much out there. If he would argue that he was both an ex neo-nazi an also an ex-antifa member it would be discreditable. But yeah probably can't deny he got a taste for money and success and is pushing it lol
@@elkarelsky A lot of biker gangs in Germany are nazi-orientated. They also go on out-days to football matches to attack people, same with protests. Chances are, he was arrested more than once. I don't see the issue with what he claimed at all, if he claimed to have been an ex-communist and an ex-pacifist, I'd be very dubious but the things you mentioned are all sides of the same coin.
Big respect? Are you for real? He sold his soul, people and nation out to the metaphorical devil for a few shekels! If you don't consider death to be a preferable fate compared to this, then you're also a bad person with no shred of dignity, integrity or honor.
@@donnatelliunderwood2592Youre obviously very young or very naive. Of course people can change. Why do you think a lot of prisoners get their live together after a program without getting money for it or being on tv? People change and good for them. People like this admit they were young and stupid at the time and try to help other youth who have some dark thoughts.

Fair play & respect to Philip for being so honest & getting out of that movement & turning his life around. He has a lot to be proud of since he got out of it.
He’s a coward and a traitor. We are being deliberately replaced all over the west. In Germany, these newcomers have committed horrible mass r*** against German women and nothing happens to them. Yet you cheer on this guy who pacifies the fire of youth, youth who would otherwise fight for our continued existence
@@peppermintdarling4861 yes, i mean not only him but everyone has been wrong at some point in life and not everyone has the courage to admit it and change. But yeah, leaving such a violent ideology and speaking openly about it takes balls!
@@peppermintdarling4861 Changing is not a one time thing and it's done. It takes a long time and constant effort. You don't become a good person overnight, you work towards bettering yourself every day of your life. He's likely very often wrong still, even if not about that in particular, and I'd wager he will do his best to get better every time, because clearly he knows quite a deal about introspection and both admitting when he effed up, and doing something about it. Also, "Takes courage to admit you was wrong" is gramatically incorrect, lol. mellon's statement is factually right, whether Philip changed or not. :P
He's kind of a celeb in Germany. He does a great job, goes to schools and other facilities for juveniles, especially where individuals seem to be quite on the edge in terms of drifting to extreme right attitudes. Other than his Nazi past, he subsequently joined the organized crime in motorcycle gangs, but also quitted ... Amazing history if in ends up in such a great u-turn
I'm from Paris but I came to Munich and German are so perfect compared to us even south France is even worse than Paris full of Arab thugs and petty crimes Bavaria was a breath of fresh air everyone respect law and rules no group of thugs no harassment towards ladies or other I was really stunned how everything worked and how quality of life seemed so much better than France !

I have been a fan of Phillip's youtube channel for years now. For me, this guy is a prime example for the fact that people can truly change. He went 180° from being a leading figure in the Neuonazi movement to being their worst enemy. He helps people understand the inner working of these organizations and help people who want to leave them behind. He really is a role model.

Role model of what?? Betraying your country for money and fame in the key moment of European history when the whole Europe is being replaced and becoming a big Islamic republic?!
as german 90s teenager, this is refreshing to hear, to be this open! we had some skinheads in our school growing up here in Hamburg & the most odd thing (apart from still liking nazis&co) that stuck with me, was their selective racism.... they had no issue sharing class, locker, swimmingpool and all that, BUT food like "Döner" was a no-go and disgusting for them to a point where they yelled that fact in the hallways 🤦♂🤣
Man I had a doner in Munich I come from Paris and it was the most perfect kebab I ever had 7.50e no fried and no Bev with it no ketchup B's just homemade sauce it was the best ever ever😂
Have respect for this guy's ability to make this kind of change in his life, and to then be so vulnerable to answer so honestly. This is a guy who makes change not just inside himself.
That's why the Bible taught us about forgiving others, sometimes it may be hard but people can still change no matter their past, everyone can still be saved they just have to repent from their sins and turn to Christ to find eternal life, may God bless you
@@DiogoG. good that you have your beliefs, but not everyone needs god, bible or religion to be good. and as a person of god you should understand that
This man has had a full redemption arc. He was gull of hate, then he dropped it and is now helping people overcome their own hate. That's really commendable
No, he is projecting his personal hate and anger issues onto others who have done nothing wrong, and letting them take the heat for his and his friends' criminal past.
What an amazing transformation this man has made! I’m so glad he’s reaching out to de-radicalize people - he is one of the only people that can be effective doing so. I wish him much success and happiness.

Once again being white and wishing for a homeland or for your children to not be mercilessly murdered in the middle of the street is not exactly a "radical" concept, perhaps if you educate yourself on the matter instead of believing the mainstream media and it's lies you would understand this but instead you have chosen not to, ironic 'cause I'm sure you're the sort of person that would accuse someone like me of bigotry and ignorance. Maybe you could class that as a personal challenge to yourself, go and read some books and educate yourself on the subject or are you scared that you too might be radicalised.
@@Aaronian99 nah. I work with a lot of Germans and anyone from the UK would recognise the Geordie twangs a mile off. He slips into it on certain words. Very unique.
In terms of the shaved head question, it isn't just to look scary, the style was actually stolen from 1960's skinheads in the UK which was a scene that revolved around the working class and Jamaican reggae and Ska and was anti racist note the phrase 'boots and braces dont make a racist' great subculture that has unfortunately been tarnished by the far right
@@convoyjack3310 It was all about black and white unite, of course there'd be some racists as there are anywhere and due to the time period but it certainly wasn't neo Nazism and wasn't the case until the 1980's when bands like Skrewdriver emerged onto the scene, being a skinhead myself we like to call them boneheads as you cannot be racist in a scene started by black migrants which was a generally accepted idea but yes, I'm sure there could have been a few racists but racism wasn't accepted by those who knew the roots
You are correct about most of things, except thinking that socialism is far right!! Every time you see "socialist" wherever,you can be sure it's not right wing,even National Socialism!! Right wing promotes individualism, privatization,citizen rights!! Socialism (leftism)promotes big government,collectivism,and have the government (themselves) controlling everything, housing,industry, military wich was what Hitler did,he was being a socialist!!
He has a German RUclips channel talking about his past and doing reaction to documentaries covering extremism and crime/biker gang related topics. So you could actually for hours
I'm from Poland and born in the eighties. Back in the day I knew some lads like Philip and in my town (population about 40k) they mostly kept to themselves but on the other hand were very nasty bastards. I remember them going on sort of raids to the town center and giving absolute hell to the "punks" or anyone that didn't fit their narration. And believe you me. People change. One of them is now a Formoza diver.
Majoirity of white supremacists/neo-nz's are either Jewish or have Jewish ancestry, or have some kind of relation to jews (they worship jesus, who is a jew)
I have to appreciate that he's honest, he hesitates a few times but he still speaks, he isn't lying or hiding himself. To me, that is a clear sign that someone regrets their actions and they are trying to do better. He recognizes his wrongs, he regrets them, and he is striving for better things, that I can respect. These interviews have been good for me to watch, it gives you their perspectives, not the media and public's perception of them.
Fun story about shaved heads. There was this convention I went to years ago. Back then I was fairly tall and in decent shape (sigh) and I went there cosplaying as Rude, of the Turks, in Final Fantasy VII. Shaved head, short circle beard, sunglasses, black two-pieces suit with black necktie, black dress shoes, black leather gloves and a Shin-Ra Electric Power Company ID Card with "my" name on it, adopting Rude's super-serious, slightly frowning and severe looking attitude the whole time I was there. People got out of the way, everyone was super polite, and I'm pretty sure most people who didn't know better thought I was some sort of security agent for the event or something. So that was funny, but the funniest part happened at the end, when we were trying to get back home and had an issue with one of our tires. We stopped at this garage, who were right in the middle of closing up shop at the end of their shift, and I went along with my sister (no longer wearing the outfit, but I was still this relatively tall, relatively muscular bearded fella with shaved head and sunglasses) to have a word with them and ask for their help. Turned out, they were super helpful and friendly and more than willing to fix the problem so we could get on our way even though their day was technically over and they didn't have to. This surprised me, and I told as much to my parents when we got back, I was like 'they were so nice, it's cool that there's still super helpful people like that in the world today'. My mother, ever the wise owl, remarked: "If a guy your size walked up to me with their head shaved, a circle beard and sunglasses and asked me for help, I'd have been the friendliest person ever too." XD
That’s fair enough, but if you’re tall and muscular you don’t even need to be bald to be scary at some point hahahah Side note I’m pretty sure Nazis were clean shaven
Glad you managed to turn your life around and are now helping others - hats off to ya. And appreciate the honesty, important for people to hear - can't imagine it's easy putting yourself out there like that. Thanks 👍
People can change. A difficult past can be a gift, you can help save others from making the same mistakes. That can be your purpose. Nothing but respect for this man's strength and courage.
It's very obvious from the start that he's just being straight out honest, all cards on the table, face up, and all to avoid future people making the choices he now views a foolish and damaging.
It was clear from the start that he really enjoyed the money he got paid for the interview, but for sure you can believe what you want, just out of interest I'd love to know what exactly was "foolish" and "damaging" in what he said? As far as I can tell he didn't give any examples so perhaps maybe you can explain for us?
As Dostoievski said, "I think the devil doesn't exist, but man has created him, he has created him in his own image and likeness.". Many of us resort to these kind of things either from our circumstances as a child or traumatic events in our lives.
Part of his radicalization was that his family moved from Germany to Newcastle as child. He struggled to adapt but eventually loved it there. After like a year his family moved back and he had to restart again. It had a really negative impact on him
KKK is VERY different from neo nazi orgs here in germany. They aren't even Christian. They consider Christianity to be a jewish thing^^ Most of them uphold Germanic Paganism
People like to justify and add meaning to what they do by thinking they are better than others. This guy's group thought "oh don't those hick American racists look stupid... we are so different" to avoid the similarities, having to analyze what they do and come to grips with how bad they are.
If anyone is wondering why a former Neo-Nazis is using the word "comrades" to refer to other Neo-Nazis even though the word in English is more commonly used when talking about the left wing: The German word "Kameraden" translates directly to "comrades" and is used by soldiers to refer to one another. Thus Neo-Nazis use it as they think of one another as soldiers fighting together. The word used by people on the left to refer to one another is "Genosse" (which also translates to comrades). If Olaf Scholz, our current chancellor, is speaking to the public he will begin with "Dear citizens" (="Liebe Bürgerinnen und Bürger"), but when speaking to his party, so fellow politically left people, he will begin with "Dear comrades" (="Liebe Genossinnen und Genossen").
@@pn2124 It isn't. NSDAP literally put socialism in the party name to trick people. Seems the lie was so good some people are still fooled almost a century later...
@@pn2124Nazism is about as socialist as the DPRK is democratic lol. Hitler used populist rhetoric to secure power then killed off the strasserites and socialists in the night of the long knives.
I tried to read Mein Kampf about 20 years ago, out of sheer curiosity as I am a WW2 history enthusiast, and I couldn't make it more than a few chapters in, the Hitler biography by Joachim B. Fest is similarly (in my view) impenetrable.
While you lacked the ability to read a book praised by millions, Iranians and much of the middle east are thr largest purchases of Mein Kempf in the world.
I read mein kampf and some of the issues Hitler was talking about especially that multinational companies have too much power and influence is indeed what is happening today.
I love how he gets the ins and outs of not just the group he was in, but how easily people can be drawn to a certain group and how far they will go down that road just to support that movement... I am trying to teach my son this as I seen myself as pretty smart when I was younger, but now I see through a lot of old beliefs I had and started seeing through a lot of newer beliefs I was going down... It's best to try to stay in the middle and see both sides, but not give your life or take someone's life just to uphold those beliefs.
It's genuinely intriguing growing up in the south of the US, and hearing his take on the KKK. We all consider them racist bigots too, but to hear an ex Neo-Nazi say that they perceived it as only racism. Is oddly eye opening. In America we are only taught that Germans during WW2 were only racist. If you were a Nazi you were racist in American culture. Very interesting video.
Their problem with the KKK isn't them being racist, their problem is that they consider the KKK's racism to be primitive and crude, only really differentiating between black and white. Nazi racism is significantly more complex, albeit nonetheless reprehensible.
It's strange but I could tell from Phillip's accent that he learned his English in Newcastle, UK. Geordie-German sounds cool 😎 Props to him for turning his back on hate
I'm from germany and we had a few people in school that started to draw nazi symbols everywhere. After the history teacher heard of that, he changed the next lesson and instead started reading Mein Kampf with us. He was a teacher I didn't particulary like, but that one thing has stuck with me till now - and it's been at least 15 years since that happened. The class laughed at the start because we were reading something "forbidden" and got more and more quiet with every page. I still remember some of the faces of the boys who were celebrating Hitlers birthday just a few weeks earlier, they were absolutely crestfallen. It took exactly one lesson like that to stop that behavior and since I understood what happened back then, I'm of the firm opinion that you can fight radicalization before it happens. And the tool of choice can be the extreme end of that ideology, because if you show people where their path might lead them it can be really impactful.
@@mcuBbluBB Gibt bzw gab da meines Wissens nach kein Gesetz zu. Der offizielle Nachdruck wurde lange Zeit verhindert (da die Rechte am Buch in Bayern lagen bis deren Anspruch vor einigen Jahren auslief) und das Buch stand (und steht wahrscheinlich noch) auf der Liste jugendgefährdender Bücher - was heißt, dass es nicht beworben werden darf. Antiquarisch gehandelt werden durfte Mein Kampf spätestens seit Anfang der 80er Jahre, Besitz war demnach auch nicht strafbar (ich habe mal bei einem Wissenschafts-/Kunstprojekt mitgemacht, dass sich mit verbotenen Büchern beschäftigt hat - in dem Kontext habe ich u.a. zu Mein Kampf recherchiert). Zusätzlich meine ich mich zu erinnern, dass die wissenschaftlich kommentierte Version von einigen Lehrerverbänden sogar als Unterrichtsmaterial gefordert wurde (die ist irgendwann um 2014 oder so rausgekommen). Das war aber nach meiner eigenen Schulzeit, also weiß ich da nichts genaues zu. Verboten war es also zu der Zeit damals ziemlich sicher nicht, ob mein Lehrer das zu dem Zeitpunkt jedoch von weiter oben abgesegnet bekommen hätte wage ich auch mal zu bezweifeln.
I almost fell down the rabbit hold when I was a young teen, being and odd kid I got into the old website stormfront, It was so friendly, everybody accepted me. Once I got a bit deeper I started to see people say some things that I found very troubling. I started remembering this old woman I had met in a museum in Sydney when I was younger still. A survivor of Nazi Death Camps. I don't remember her exact words, but I remember the feeling of it. I remember, disgust, revulsion. I questioned, poked back. Boydid they get rid of me fast.. Instead I became a furry. had the same thing thing.. support.. but it had kindness, respect and embraced people instead of dividing them. I'm 40 now... proud to be furry
I helped out at a music bar where they accidentally booked a German neo nazi band for a punk show. They were near impossible to talk to. And the locals cancelled the venue after hearing about it, so it was a huge lose/lose.
As a Turk, born and raised in Germany, I've met him a couple of times (he actually lives around my area). He's a very humble and nice guy, and i am happy that he's the guy he is currently. The story of his life is really interesting, and his story shows how fast such things can happen. He was a former biker gang member and owned p'houses as well.
Philip is an awesome person. I read his book once and was very impressed how much a person can change their believes. He is doing some awesome work. I dont know if there is an english version of his book but if there is, everyone should read it.
Really really appreciatetl this level of honesty... it can't be easy to talk about a former life someone might not be proud of, but we also need people who are former because they are where we learn
Phillippeno mix here! So here's some fun history about my family: my mother and uncle were adopted by a German man, and a Polish woman who turned sides during WW2! I was raised with such love by my grandparents, when it was pointed out i was a different color, i was confused. I was even like: "What are you talking about?? That's my family." They BOTH went through things NONE of us could imagine, let alone stomach the absolute atrocities humanity let loose during that time. I love my grandparents, because without them, i wouldn't have the life i do🖤🖤
It is not easy to say and change what this guy has done or achieved in reconstructing his life. I choose to celebrate someone who chooses to begin with something else.
I would like to know if you find yourself slipping back into previous ways of behaving or thinking. If you do, what mechanism do you have to stop yourself? If you don't, why not?
"i dont want to think x anymore because x is bad and i must not think x" sounds like the way of thinking that someone who is completely brainwashed would adopt.
@@BalticNixe1234 Your English is excellent, and thanks for going to the trouble to explain. I found the piece shook me up considerably, because I pigeon hole terrorists as well as other miscreants and assume they are irredeemable. Philip shows (articulate fella that he is) that this is not always the case. I need to modify my world view a bit.
@@DAVHORNER This is an extremely valuable realization, for anybody to have (at some point in their life), and I'm glad you had it. It's an extremely profound moment when you realize humans are not necessarily just Evil OR just Good, rather both at different times in life. Not a "law" since there are always outliers, some people never change their evil viewpoints. But it's profound to realize that ANYBODY can change, I would argue that's a potential we all carry. I learned this while I was in drug rehab in Florida, and later halfway house, all for half a year (far away from home) It's a lesson that had absolutely nothing to do with addiction, just about humanity. It's made me so much happier in life, I swear to god. Glad you made this comment. Humans are complicated, always have been, always will be.
If I would have a club of national socialists, I wouldn't want that guy around. Look at him, he's dishonorable, and he looks like a comic book with all those tattoo's, and where supposedly were his swastika and the wolfsangel and all. He was also an "ex biker". Not sure why that guy gets the spotlight. He seems to joining and leaving group's like the turn of a leaf. No need to have people like that in our ranks.....
As far as i am aware of is that their was a neo nazi party at 1 night and 1 person died that night and this was his point where he said enough is enough
@@TrueSkeptic77 "waa they are threatening my existence" my guy, we europeans colonised like three quarters of the world and forced our own culture and religion, yet you think the white race is somehow dying out?
The honesty you see here is extremely rare! The turnaround in his life is even rarer. I really salute you, you have turned your life around, you have destroyed your own hate and welcomed peace and unity. You're even helping others to de-radicalise - you are amazing!
And this is how you get redemption. I have a lot of respect for this guy for owning up to what he was a part of and trying to help others from making the same mistakes.
"Every generation needs a war to harden up", my Dad would say this, he would say people have become lazy, people become soft, he would say ''once they eliminate your freedom of speech, Western Soociety as you know it would crumble down.
Interesting. He seemed honest in his answered questions and like a guy you could have beer and a game of cricket with. He does sound like he was pissed off as a youth and liked to get into fist fights. Maybe he is still liking to get into fist fights and just stopped limiting his opponents to their race. I hope he stays cool.
He has hundreds of RUclips videos on his own channel where he tells his whole story. He definitely was into fights. Not just that, he was an extremely violent person. He started with being a hooligan. He got stabbed multiple times, shot at people and fought hundreds of times during his "career". After he was a nazi he became a criminal for a few more years, leading a 1% biker club, drugs, pimping and many many other things. From what he is saying and how he is saying it, I have the feeling he is done with any kind of violence for the rest of his life. I wouldn't mess with him, because he most likely knows how to defend himself in a fight, but I personally am very sure that he won't ever start a fight again by himself.
I’d love to know where phill resides now. He sounds like he has picked up a little bit of a Geordie accent. Love this video. Shows that anyone can change if they put their mind to it. Much love
It's one of the basic, irreducible shapes. It represents something to dozens of cultures around the world. The ancient Greeks called it a tetragammadion and it represented Zeus's thunderbolts. To the Navajo it represented abundance and luck. It also appears in stone age rock carvings of cultures that vanished thousands of years before civilization began. Unfortunately it now has only one meaning in Western civilizations.
My grandad was a polish tank driver who fought at the battle of Montecasino, so that we could all be free of ideologies like this. I am glad this man changed and is helping others to do the same. If people like that did come into power we would be wading over the dead in the street.
No you would be happy and thriving in a country of only your people, free of Jew subversion and degeneracy and you would be safe. Poland right now is still a decent country because of the lack of diversity. Jews are sending swarms of immigrants in to derail white society, as they stay safe in their little ethnostate.

It's just extreme cognitive laziness coupled with psychopathic traits (inability to experience empathy and no sense of right and wrong). Instead of treating people as individuals and learning their traits, they just say fuck it they're all X Y Z. And some people have what I call the 'sports mentality' where nuance and intellectual curiosity may as well be hieroglyphs as far as they're concerned; they pick a 'team' and anyone not on their team is 'bad'. They'll do the same thing with politics in general because it's easier than actually thinking about details. In-groups and out-groups. Most people are taught when they are children that its an infantile and counter-productive mindset, but unfortunately, mentally challenged cunts will try to raise their kids to be just like them. Everyone makes generalisations, but intelligent people will simultaneously recognise that generalisations are cognitive shortcuts of limited validity by their very nature.
To my knowledge, racism stems from negative (or perceived negative) experiences, applied to a general populus. The brain likes shortcuts. Loves them, even. It also generally remembers and focuses on negative events much more than positive ones. Combine the two, and you get shortcuts based off of largely negative events. And these shortcuts, if left unchecked, lead into different treatment of others based on things wholly unrelated people have done.
As someone who is not white I respect this man for acknowledging he was wrong and making an effort to become a better person. In my opinion there is always redemption and forgiveness for those who change for the better.
Stop calling Swastika bad. Its not. People in Japan, India, China & South East Asian countries consider it as auspicious. Nazis used Hakenkruz as a symbol & not Swastikas.
I am glad N-N are refraining themselves from using the Swastika. We have been using it for thousands of years and we would like it back. Swastika translated to English means "all is well" and for us it's a holy symbol. Ok, thank you.
@@JoshuaGraham5408 the word Swastika comes from the ancient language Sanskriet, a language from India. Since we Hindus still use this symbol daily, we would like to have the word back. The word has no ill meaning, people in the west use it to refer to an evil symbol. For us, it's not, the word needs to get it's original intention back, positivity. Edit: I use to dance Indian classical dance, we also used the word in one of our poses. The word is even used in our devotional songs. We just want it back

@@EhrenamtlicherAbschiebehelfer Well, take it up with political scientists and historians, because by every definition Nazis are fascists. They are the prime example of it. Good luck finding a credible source that says otherwise.
@@sentinel_nightcrawler Nazism is one branch of fascism. Fascism is the underlying ideology, nazism is a possible direction. Anarcho capitalism is also fascism but based on capital rather than ethnicity.
He made a point about racism and nationalism, it really is a thin line that could cross-over anytime. Strong Right-wing nationalism will always lead to xenophobia and of course the majority of immigrants are POCs. The other thing about nationalism is the strong emphasis on the in-group vs. the out-group, so to marry someone who looks like you (can be any ethnicity that fulfills the "European" aesthetics) is to achieve that ideal, provided your partner has been totally assimilated into the culture.
Nationalism is the opposite to being a globalist. Its has nothing to do with disliking other people or other countries. and the hypocrosy is that only european nationalism or tradionalism is frowned upon
I never understood nationalism, I didn't choose to be born within these imaginary lines on some map, I got no allegiance towards this plot of land and why would I? In my eyes nationalism is idiocy.
I do think that you should read the materials and texts that radical groups are engaging in IF you are trying to critically engage and persuade people away from these very damaging beliefs. When we aren't aware of what the other side is actually arguing with, then we end up just talking past each other and not doing a service to the side we are arguing for. That's one reason why former extremists are so good at convincing current extremists to get out of that mindset. An outsider coming with just social justice literature and not understanding the scope of the beliefs a certain extremist group has isn't going to be effective.
Absolutely, knowledge is power. Unfortunately, books like Mein Kamfe are just a bit laughable. If it had not been connected to the Nazis it would have flushed years ago.
In one of my history classes I was assigned to read some excerpts of writings at the time, which included the communist manifesto and Mein Kampf.

As a german, I know this dude. He is relatively famous for rejecting the Neo-Nazi scene.
Yes, I know him too. I respect his work a lot. But I have to say, he lost much of his credibility. Because after his confession to be an ex-neo-nazi, he also claimed to be an ex-member of a violent biker-gang, an ex-footballthug (in higher AND lower leagues) and ex-criminal and so on. and of course, he wrote books about everything, selling his alleged experiences in books, interviews and keynotes.

@@elkarelsky A lot of biker gangs in Germany are nazi-orientated. They also go on out-days to football matches to attack people, same with protests. Chances are, he was arrested more than once.

Once again being white and wishing for a homeland or for your children to not be mercilessly murdered in the middle of the street is not exactly a "radical" concept, perhaps if you educate yourself on the matter instead of believing the mainstream media and it's lies you would understand this but instead you have chosen not to, ironic 'cause I'm sure you're the sort of person that would accuse someone like me of bigotry and ignorance.
Maybe you could class that as a personal challenge to yourself, go and read some books and educate yourself on the subject or are you scared that you too might be radicalised.

This is such a fascinating question + answer session. Very captivating.
I have to appreciate that he's honest, he hesitates a few times but he still speaks, he isn't lying or hiding himself. To me, that is a clear sign that someone regrets their actions and they are trying to do better. He recognizes his wrongs, he regrets them, and he is striving for better things, that I can respect. These interviews have been good for me to watch, it gives you their perspectives, not the media and public's perception of them.
Fun story about shaved heads. There was this convention I went to years ago. Back then I was fairly tall and in decent shape (sigh) and I went there cosplaying as Rude, of the Turks, in Final Fantasy VII. Shaved head, short circle beard, sunglasses, black two-pieces suit with black necktie, black dress shoes, black leather gloves and a Shin-Ra Electric Power Company ID Card with "my" name on it, adopting Rude's super-serious, slightly frowning and severe looking attitude the whole time I was there.
People got out of the way, everyone was super polite, and I'm pretty sure most people who didn't know better thought I was some sort of security agent for the event or something. So that was funny, but the funniest part happened at the end, when we were trying to get back home and had an issue with one of our tires.
We stopped at this garage, who were right in the middle of closing up shop at the end of their shift, and I went along with my sister (no longer wearing the outfit, but I was still this relatively tall, relatively muscular bearded fella with shaved head and sunglasses) to have a word with them and ask for their help. Turned out, they were super helpful and friendly and more than willing to fix the problem so we could get on our way even though their day was technically over and they didn't have to. This surprised me, and I told as much to my parents when we got back, I was like 'they were so nice, it's cool that there's still super helpful people like that in the world today'.
My mother, ever the wise owl, remarked: "If a guy your size walked up to me with their head shaved, a circle beard and sunglasses and asked me for help, I'd have been the friendliest person ever too." XD
Rude probably deliberately constructed that look hoping it would help in his work with the Turks.
That’s fair enough, but if you’re tall and muscular you don’t even need to be bald to be scary at some point hahahah
Side note I’m pretty sure Nazis were clean shaven

If it wasn't for Hitler, the Zionists wouldn't have been able to steal Palestine....
It's very obvious from the start that he's just being straight out honest, all cards on the table, face up, and all to avoid future people making the choices he now views a foolish and damaging.
It was clear from the start that he really enjoyed the money he got paid for the interview, but for sure you can believe what you want,
just out of interest I'd love to know what exactly was "foolish" and "damaging" in what he said? As far as I can tell he didn't give any examples so perhaps maybe you can explain for us?

As Dostoievski said, "I think the devil doesn't exist, but man has created him, he has created him in his own image and likeness.". Many of us resort to these kind of things either from our circumstances as a child or traumatic events in our lives.
We didn’t.
He speaks English so well and grammatically correct as a German native speaker
His family moved to England when he was a child so he grew up bilingual 😊
True of MANY Europeans and they often speak better English than native speakers.
We learn English in second grade
Part of his radicalization was that his family moved from Germany to Newcastle as child. He struggled to adapt but eventually loved it there. After like a year his family moved back and he had to restart again. It had a really negative impact on him
if Germans can't learn English, nobody can
7:27 this is a really sobering thought. I wouldn’t have ever considered the two to be vastly different ideologically
KKK is VERY different from neo nazi orgs here in germany. They aren't even Christian. They consider Christianity to be a jewish thing^^ Most of them uphold Germanic Paganism
People like to justify and add meaning to what they do by thinking they are better than others. This guy's group thought "oh don't those hick American racists look stupid... we are so different" to avoid the similarities, having to analyze what they do and come to grips with how bad they are.
If anyone is wondering why a former Neo-Nazis is using the word "comrades" to refer to other Neo-Nazis even though the word in English is more commonly used when talking about the left wing: The German word "Kameraden" translates directly to "comrades" and is used by soldiers to refer to one another. Thus Neo-Nazis use it as they think of one another as soldiers fighting together. The word used by people on the left to refer to one another is "Genosse" (which also translates to comrades). If Olaf Scholz, our current chancellor, is speaking to the public he will begin with "Dear citizens" (="Liebe Bürgerinnen und Bürger"), but when speaking to his party, so fellow politically left people, he will begin with "Dear comrades" (="Liebe Genossinnen und Genossen").

I love how he gets the ins and outs of not just the group he was in, but how easily people can be drawn to a certain group and how far they will go down that road just to support that movement... I am trying to teach my son this as I seen myself as pretty smart when I was younger, but now I see through a lot of old beliefs I had and started seeing through a lot of newer beliefs I was going down... It's best to try to stay in the middle and see both sides, but not give your life or take someone's life just to uphold those beliefs.
It's genuinely intriguing growing up in the south of the US, and hearing his take on the KKK.
We all consider them racist bigots too, but to hear an ex Neo-Nazi say that they perceived it as only racism. Is oddly eye opening.
In America we are only taught that Germans during WW2 were only racist.
If you were a Nazi you were racist in American culture.
Very interesting video.
just shows how much they are lied about
Their problem with the KKK isn't them being racist, their problem is that they consider the KKK's racism to be primitive and crude, only really differentiating between black and white.
Nazi racism is significantly more complex, albeit nonetheless reprehensible.
It's strange but I could tell from Phillip's accent that he learned his English in Newcastle, UK.
Geordie-German sounds cool 😎
Props to him for turning his back on hate
Yup, one can definitely hear that northern twang.
I'm from germany and we had a few people in school that started to draw nazi symbols everywhere. After the history teacher heard of that, he changed the next lesson and instead started reading Mein Kampf with us. He was a teacher I didn't particulary like, but that one thing has stuck with me till now - and it's been at least 15 years since that happened. The class laughed at the start because we were reading something "forbidden" and got more and more quiet with every page. I still remember some of the faces of the boys who were celebrating Hitlers birthday just a few weeks earlier, they were absolutely crestfallen.
It took exactly one lesson like that to stop that behavior and since I understood what happened back then, I'm of the firm opinion that you can fight radicalization before it happens. And the tool of choice can be the extreme end of that ideology, because if you show people where their path might lead them it can be really impactful.
Wow...
Ich stimme deinem Kommentar zu.
Jedoch kam mir die Frage auf, ob es überhaupt legal war/ist, Schülern „Mein Kampf“ vorzulesen?
@@mcuBbluBB Gibt bzw gab da meines Wissens nach kein Gesetz zu. Der offizielle Nachdruck wurde lange Zeit verhindert (da die Rechte am Buch in Bayern lagen bis deren Anspruch vor einigen Jahren auslief) und das Buch stand (und steht wahrscheinlich noch) auf der Liste jugendgefährdender Bücher - was heißt, dass es nicht beworben werden darf.
Antiquarisch gehandelt werden durfte Mein Kampf spätestens seit Anfang der 80er Jahre, Besitz war demnach auch nicht strafbar (ich habe mal bei einem Wissenschafts-/Kunstprojekt mitgemacht, dass sich mit verbotenen Büchern beschäftigt hat - in dem Kontext habe ich u.a. zu Mein Kampf recherchiert).
Zusätzlich meine ich mich zu erinnern, dass die wissenschaftlich kommentierte Version von einigen Lehrerverbänden sogar als Unterrichtsmaterial gefordert wurde (die ist irgendwann um 2014 oder so rausgekommen). Das war aber nach meiner eigenen Schulzeit, also weiß ich da nichts genaues zu.
Verboten war es also zu der Zeit damals ziemlich sicher nicht, ob mein Lehrer das zu dem Zeitpunkt jedoch von weiter oben abgesegnet bekommen hätte wage ich auch mal zu bezweifeln.

Philip shows (articulate fella that he is) that this is not always the case. I need to modify my world view a bit.
@@DAVHORNER This is an extremely valuable realization, for anybody to have (at some point in their life), and I'm glad you had it. It's an extremely profound moment when you realize humans are not necessarily just Evil OR just Good, rather both at different times in life. Not a "law" since there are always outliers, some people never change their evil viewpoints. But it's profound to realize that ANYBODY can change, I would argue that's a potential we all carry.
I learned this while I was in drug rehab in Florida, and later halfway house, all for half a year (far away from home) It's a lesson that had absolutely nothing to do with addiction, just about humanity. It's made me so much happier in life, I swear to god.
Glad you made this comment. Humans are complicated, always have been, always will be.
If I would have a club of national socialists, I wouldn't want that guy around.
Look at him, he's dishonorable, and he looks like a comic book with all those tattoo's, and where supposedly were his swastika and the wolfsangel and all.
He was also an "ex biker". Not sure why that guy gets the spotlight.
He seems to joining and leaving group's like the turn of a leaf.
No need to have people like that in our ranks.....
As far as i am aware of is that their was a neo nazi party at 1 night and 1 person died that night and this was his point where he said enough is enough
"You should read Mein Kampf, in the original Klingon."
I have the upmost respect for this guy. It takes a lot to change so much and a lot to say "i used to be evil"
the world needs more people like you BRAVO,and keep teaching the children!
How do you teach white children about the hate of their skincolour and who is defending them?
Yeah cause more white children need to be ashamed of who they are.
Let them become like what is happening to white south Africans.
well dont lie to them,then they dont need to be defended,parents teach their kids to hate@@TrueSkeptic77
@@TrueSkeptic77 "waa they are threatening my existence" my guy, we europeans colonised like three quarters of the world and forced our own culture and religion, yet you think the white race is somehow dying out?
@@alexhobbs2209 what? we're actively dying out, our people are less by number while other races are slowly becoming the majority.
Philip seems so nervous here. He is very bravery, being honest in public about such a past!
The honesty you see here is extremely rare! The turnaround in his life is even rarer. I really salute you, you have turned your life around, you have destroyed your own hate and welcomed peace and unity. You're even helping others to de-radicalise - you are amazing!
this was very informative surprisingly, i dont expect much of these kind of videos
And this is how you get redemption. I have a lot of respect for this guy for owning up to what he was a part of and trying to help others from making the same mistakes.
What a brave man to come out and admit his past and to say he'd been wrong!
Wow this man has courage. It’s so dangerous to be German and have those views. You am so happy he has opened his eyes.
V eloquent and intelligent man., Brilliant that he can verbalise and rationalise what has happened to him and share it with young people,
I met him because of a school project, really down to earth dude, it was also the only time ever that a class was totally silent lol
"Every generation needs a war to harden up", my Dad would say this, he would say people have become lazy, people become soft, he would say ''once they eliminate your freedom of speech, Western Soociety as you know it would crumble down.
My dad would say similar things
yeah and then he would come back to sitting on the couch
Interesting. He seemed honest in his answered questions and like a guy you could have beer and a game of cricket with. He does sound like he was pissed off as a youth and liked to get into fist fights. Maybe he is still liking to get into fist fights and just stopped limiting his opponents to their race. I hope he stays cool.
He has hundreds of RUclips videos on his own channel where he tells his whole story. He definitely was into fights. Not just that, he was an extremely violent person. He started with being a hooligan. He got stabbed multiple times, shot at people and fought hundreds of times during his "career". After he was a nazi he became a criminal for a few more years, leading a 1% biker club, drugs, pimping and many many other things. From what he is saying and how he is saying it, I have the feeling he is done with any kind of violence for the rest of his life. I wouldn't mess with him, because he most likely knows how to defend himself in a fight, but I personally am very sure that he won't ever start a fight again by himself.
I’d love to know where phill resides now. He sounds like he has picked up a little bit of a Geordie accent. Love this video. Shows that anyone can change if they put their mind to it. Much love
The funny thing about the swastika is that the opposite mark riddles Japanese maps like bullets, marking shrines.
Most Asian and South Asian cultures have the swastika. But your statement is a red herring.
And Native American holy sites and artwork. And Tibetan… it’s a common symbol that was destroyed by one group.
It's one of the basic, irreducible shapes. It represents something to dozens of cultures around the world. The ancient Greeks called it a tetragammadion and it represented Zeus's thunderbolts. To the Navajo it represented abundance and luck. It also appears in stone age rock carvings of cultures that vanished thousands of years before civilization began. Unfortunately it now has only one meaning in Western civilizations.
Einfach mal auf Ladbible - krass Philip weiter so!
My grandad was a polish tank driver who fought at the battle of Montecasino, so that we could all be free of ideologies like this. I am glad this man changed and is helping others to do the same. If people like that did come into power we would be wading over the dead in the street.
No you would be happy and thriving in a country of only your people, free of Jew subversion and degeneracy and you would be safe. Poland right now is still a decent country because of the lack of diversity. Jews are sending swarms of immigrants in to derail white society, as they stay safe in their little ethnostate. Grow up and see the truth
The USA should listen to him
3:04 That is an unfortunate perspective
I love how funny and wholesome Philip is when he’s not being fully serious. I love the humanity showing itself after years of dehumanisation

I' d say for many of them it is Import to belong to a group and if you have a problematic life, it's always easy to create an enemy, someone you can blame for all the bad stuff
It's just extreme cognitive laziness coupled with psychopathic traits (inability to experience empathy and no sense of right and wrong). Instead of treating people as individuals and learning their traits, they just say fuck it they're all X Y Z. And some people have what I call the 'sports mentality' where nuance and intellectual curiosity may as well be hieroglyphs as far as they're concerned; they pick a 'team' and anyone not on their team is 'bad'. They'll do the same thing with politics in general because it's easier than actually thinking about details. In-groups and out-groups. Most people are taught when they are children that its an infantile and counter-productive mindset, but unfortunately, mentally challenged cunts will try to raise their kids to be just like them. Everyone makes generalisations, but intelligent people will simultaneously recognise that generalisations are cognitive shortcuts of limited validity by their very nature.
To my knowledge, racism stems from negative (or perceived negative) experiences, applied to a general populus.
The brain likes shortcuts. Loves them, even. It also generally remembers and focuses on negative events much more than positive ones.
Combine the two, and you get shortcuts based off of largely negative events.
And these shortcuts, if left unchecked, lead into different treatment of others based on things wholly unrelated people have done.
As someone who is not white I respect this man for acknowledging he was wrong and making an effort to become a better person. In my opinion there is always redemption and forgiveness for those who change for the better.
That's amazing to see someone change but me outside looking in I'm sure it took a while and was a struggle.
He was in prison for 3 years and got re-educated, doubt it's amazing a bit freaky maybe.
Stop calling Swastika bad. Its not. People in Japan, India, China & South East Asian countries consider it as auspicious.
Nazis used Hakenkruz as a symbol & not Swastikas.
The germans abused it and it's not even part of their culture.
the one used by buddhists is different.
You are an excellent speaker with such clarity in your answers and in your intention
I am glad N-N are refraining themselves from using the Swastika. We have been using it for thousands of years and we would like it back. Swastika translated to English means "all is well" and for us it's a holy symbol. Ok, thank you.
Loads of cultures have used that symbol for many different meanings, who are the "we" you are referring too? Just curious
@@JoshuaGraham5408 the word Swastika comes from the ancient language Sanskriet, a language from India. Since we Hindus still use this symbol daily, we would like to have the word back. The word has no ill meaning, people in the west use it to refer to an evil symbol. For us, it's not, the word needs to get it's original intention back, positivity.
Edit: I use to dance Indian classical dance, we also used the word in one of our poses. The word is even used in our devotional songs. We just want it back
Huh.
@@MariaV0071 so you're Indian, then take it back. You are Indian, the west has nothing to do with how you think. Screw em, they don't care about what you think.
Wearing swastika in Russia or Central Asian might get wearer killed
Don't ask questions is one of the first rules in a cult
Nice video. Education and proper information are key to becoming a wholesome individual.
I have a lot of respect for you. I’m so glad you saw the truth
I commend him for not only getting rid of his fascist ideology, but still managing to keep their cool fashion sensibilities. Bad guys dress well, it's an unfortunate fact of life!
Nazism and fascism are 2 seperate ideologies
@@sentinel_nightcrawler No. Nazis are a type of fascist.
No, absolutely wrong.@@MarkArandjus
@@EhrenamtlicherAbschiebehelfer Well, take it up with political scientists and historians, because by every definition Nazis are fascists. They are the prime example of it. Good luck finding a credible source that says otherwise.
@@sentinel_nightcrawler Nazism is one branch of fascism. Fascism is the underlying ideology, nazism is a possible direction. Anarcho capitalism is also fascism but based on capital rather than ethnicity.
Thankyou, what a great insight..
He made a point about racism and nationalism, it really is a thin line that could cross-over anytime. Strong Right-wing nationalism will always lead to xenophobia and of course the majority of immigrants are POCs. The other thing about nationalism is the strong emphasis on the in-group vs. the out-group, so to marry someone who looks like you (can be any ethnicity that fulfills the "European" aesthetics) is to achieve that ideal, provided your partner has been totally assimilated into the culture.
Nationalism is the opposite to being a globalist.
Its has nothing to do with disliking other people or other countries.
and the hypocrosy is that only european nationalism or tradionalism is frowned upon
"Strong right wing will always lead to xenophobia"
Factually incorrect.
@@rosyclown you proved his point lmao
I never understood nationalism, I didn't choose to be born within these imaginary lines on some map, I got no allegiance towards this plot of land and why would I? In my eyes nationalism is idiocy.
@@Doug44393he’s Mexican in America. You’re confused.
I do think that you should read the materials and texts that radical groups are engaging in IF you are trying to critically engage and persuade people away from these very damaging beliefs. When we aren't aware of what the other side is actually arguing with, then we end up just talking past each other and not doing a service to the side we are arguing for. That's one reason why former extremists are so good at convincing current extremists to get out of that mindset. An outsider coming with just social justice literature and not understanding the scope of the beliefs a certain extremist group has isn't going to be effective.
Absolutely, knowledge is power. Unfortunately, books like Mein Kamfe are just a bit laughable. If it had not been connected to the Nazis it would have flushed years ago.
In one of my history classes I was assigned to read some excerpts of writings at the time, which included the communist manifesto and Mein Kampf. It made me realize that it’s just the ramblings of some crazy madman rather than something we should build a country around, which is the appropriate conclusion to come to when reading it.
Thank you very much for the video and love hearing people change their ways.
he listened to icespice
I've seen Phillip on in a different type of interview, so glad he has found his true self.
