As I wrote here about violence against women this also applies to violence against gay men by those who suffer from lack of self esteem and need Big Daddy authority figures, whcih make them admire Nazi's and cops. Armed authority figures who have power that they don't. It was the same appeal that the Hitler Youth had.
And along with this goes the hatred of homosexuality by those who are insecure in their maleness and masculine identity. Being a man means not being a woman or queer.
Let us review what Wilhelm Reich said about this from his studies of the Mass Psychology of Fascism and in his book Listen Little Man!.
For Reich, a key question was: Why did people support the Nazis? Reich stated that he found that several things went together in Nazi Germany:
- Strong paternal authority
- Sexual repressiveness
- authoritarian personalities
- reactional political ideologies
Economically the Nazi program was not in the interest of lower middle class people of Germany, but they gave their support to it. Reich asked, What psychological reason could be found that would make the fascist ideology compelling to this group of people?
His answer was: The combination of authority and rebellion. Reich said the sons would especially admire an authoritarian person above them who was also rebellious. (Like Hitler and Stalin) That way they could fulfill the desire to rebel but with subs.
It is the reason that the Hitler Youth Corp was so successful and why youth are approached by both Skinhead Nazi's and by their elders to become the new shock troops of this underground movement for Aryan Power in North America. But it is not just limited to North America. It occurs where ever those who see society falling apart call for greater authoriy, law and order and repression as the solution.
The Faith of the Youth
Is the Foundation of Victory
The "Pimpfs" were members of the Nazi organization for young boys, part of the Hitler Youth. This article, from the last issue of the Nazi magazine for boys, urges them to look to the SS for their models. The SS Division "Hitler Jugend" mentioned toward the end of the article saw combat after D-Day, and acquitted itself well.

Ukiah High officer says neo-Nazis are around'The anti-Semitic hate mail allegedly delivered by two Ukiah High School freshmen to a Jewish classmate on Wednesday is only the latest -- and now most public -- example of an "underground" neo-Nazi movement at the school, its resource officer said.
Students involved do not display swastikas or other emblems of Aryan pride, said Chris Gordon, of the Ukiah Police Department, but "they're around." Gordon said he could name a handful of the neo-Nazi teenagers.
Every gang has a uniform, Gordon said, and any student wearing a flight jacket, blue jeans rolled to slightly under the knee, Doc Martens shoes and with a shaved head will raise a red flag. The trouble caused by these teens is infrequent, he said, mostly limited to vandalism and the rare fight.
