Police in Spain have arrested three people on suspicion of belonging to the Base, a global neo-Nazi terrorist group that incites and trains members in techniques to overthrow governments and bring about a race war. The group, which has been designated a terrorist organisation by the EU, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, is part of a worldwide accelerationist white power movement that prepares its cells to carry out violent and destabilising attacks.

For the 'accelerationists'—those who believe the rapid development and deployment of artificial intelligence should be pursued as quickly as possible—innovation, scale, and speed are everything.

This Canadian cell shows all the hallmarks of being inspired by US-style right-wing militia groups, with their embrace of accelerationism, their radical anti-authority pose, and their desire to build followers by offering self-contained base camps, access to weaponry, and military-style training.
