A wave of racist, mob-driven violence in Northern Ireland earlier this month has put a global network of white nationalist youth groups back under the spotlight.
The groups in question are commonly referred to as “active clubs” — a worldwide movement rooted in fascist and white nationalist ideology that organizes young people around mixed martial arts training and competition.
In the aftermath of the violence, questions have emerged about whether these so-called active clubs had any involvement in fueling or participating in the riots.
