White supremacists fear the very communications technology sustaining their movement.

Evidence

The racist Networld itself becomes the embodiment of this ideal, individuals at their computers projecting themselves into a simulated “racial homeland” - this, despite the fact that it is almost impossible to maintain a hermetic digital world without the potential intrusion of “outsiders.” At a deeper level many extreme-right users of the Internet are also concerned that their enemies have access to the very technology that they are using. In a posting to alt.politics. white-power leader Reuben Logsdon articulated a key concern when he argued: “The main problem with racial separation is that with all this damn communications technology, Jewish media can still be broadcast into the country to corrupt whites, and whites can still meet marriage partners over the net from outside Greater White Amerikkka.” — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 2576

• XREF: The self-undermining fear that one’s own medium of control is equally available to adversaries echoes the trust literature — guardians of trust are themselves trustees requiring oversight.
• SEED: The paradox of a closed utopia built on open technology (Le Chatelier’s principle applied to social orders) is a strong essay hook about the fragility of attempts at digital hermeticism.
