Extremism and Aid Dynamics in Crisis

This chapter explores the interplay between political extremism and local disaster relief efforts, particularly focusing on the militia movement in the U.S. and far-right groups in Germany. The discussion highlights how these groups exploit government failures to position themselves as alternative sources of aid, shaping public perception and societal dynamics. It further examines the implications of eco-fascism, community responses, and the rise of off-grid living trends amid climate change challenges.
