Why is The Base such a threat? Because they are not one specific group of extremists - they are a group that joins any like-minded extremist and accelerationist groups for para-military irl training in preparation for a future race war.

The Base gained attention after an alleged member, Patrik Matthews, fled illegally from Canada to join other members in the eastern United States. A major concern was that the Canadian reservist was trained in explosives.

Matthews would become a target of the same men he was plotting with to murder a high-profile Antifa couple. The men decided he was not very intelligent and would be a threat to their secrecy. As a result they planned to kill him, too.

The Base had (has?) associations with groups like The Atomwaffen Division, a violent neo-nazi group with members in the United States and other countries.

What can you do to stand up against militant extremist groups like The Base? Easy ~ if you see something, say something. Report any possible physical threats to authorities. For safety's sake, don't publicize that you have.
