Why Prominent NEO NAZl Teen Denounced His White Power Movement

Why Prominent NEO NAZl Teen Denounced His White Power Movement

CW: Suicidal ideation, self harm. Born in the 1970s in Wisconsin, Arno grew up in a turbulent environment with alcohol, fighting, and family dysfunction around him. As a teenager, he was angry, rebellious, and looking for belonging. That led him toward white power skinhead culture in the late 1980s. He became a founding member of a major U.S. skinhead gang and the lead singer of a hate-metal band that glorified racism and violence. Eventually, cracks began forming in his extremist worldview and a few things shifted him away from hate: Becoming a father, kindness from people he was supposed to hate and burnout from violence — he saw friends go to prison, die, or spiral into addiction, and he realized the path only led to destruction. By the mid-1990s, he walked away from the white power movement.

In 2011, Arno helped found Life After Hate, an organization dedicated to helping people leave extremist movements and rebuild their lives. He became a public speaker, sharing his story in schools, prisons, and communities around the world.

His memoir My Life After Hate (2010) details his radicalization and transformation.
