KOSTA: Meet the alt-right...
(chanting): White lives matter! White lives matter!
KOSTA: ...a loosely connected group
of right-wing white nationalists,
known for chanting confusing conspiracy theories like...
...all while dressed like kids
whose divorced dads made their Halloween costumes.
And these World War II reenactment rejects
have one other thing in common:
they are angry.
But what do they have to be so angry about?
I'm a white guy; things are great.
Cops don't pull me over.
I pull them over to ask for a bottle opener.
Thanks, Officer.
No, you have a great day.
There's no logical reason
why the alt-right should be so angry.
They're kinda winning.
But what if there was a deeper reason for their frustration?
Across the alt-right movement,
leaders are telling young men not to masturbate.
W-W-W-W-W-Wait.
What?
Clinical psychologist Dr. David Ley...
(laughs) Ley.
...has a theory about why these young men are so angry.
They're not strangling their pepes.
They know how to masturbate.
They're not going side to side, right?
They know it's up and down?
I don't think this is a technique issue.
They are actually trying not to masturbate.
Used to take me hours; now it's like... (whistles)
-Know what I mean? -Yeah. That's right.
-Well, I have one hand, so, you know, -Right.
it-it gets lots of practice.
KOSTA: This guy masturbates.
Dr. Ley, (chuckles) explained that the main proponents
of this "no wank" philosophy were the Proud Boys.
Masturbation is lack of impulse control.
KOSTA: The Proud Boys believe
that not masturbating increases their testosterone
and makes them more desirable to women,
which brings up one question:
Is it working for the Proud Boys?
Research actually finds that less masturbation
reduces testosterone.
So there's evidence that masturbating
makes you a more masculine man.
A lot of really good things happen
in your body and your brain.
But also, research is finding that people
who watch more pornography,
they are more feminist, and, interestingly,
they've developed more egalitarian values over time.
You're right. I watch a lot of gang bangs,
and one day I thought, "Oh, my God.
-"Women have it so hard. -Yeah.
"This isn't fair.
"95 guys and one girl.
We need some better representation here."
And the Proud Boys are just the tip.
There are stroke-shamers all over the alt-right.
So, Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson,
he's a leader in the alt-right movement in Canada.
And he tells young men there's nothing noble
about masturbating to pornography.
That's terrible.
I mean, what else are they gonna do up there
in between periods of hockey?
-That's noble, that's healthy. -Exactly. That's healthy.
David Duke, who is a former grand wizard of the KKK,
he believes that pornography is a Jewish conspiracy
to get young white men to masturbate
instead of procreating,
and so the white race dies out.
KOSTA: What is it about the Jews with these guys?
And speaking of which, this far right moratorium
on salami wrestling has been going on longer than you think.
The Nazis taught young men not to masturbate.
Nazis.
Nazis used sexual suppression
as a way to increase malleability in people.
If we can get people to give up masturbation,
we can get them to do anything.
First them came for our Fleshlights,
and I said nothing.
So it's not just the insidious beliefs,
mob violence and haircuts.
The alt-right jacked this off the Nazis, too?
They're teaching these kids to hate themselves,
to be ashamed of themselves.
And then they can exploit them.
-Wow. -They go down this rabbit hole
of these extreme, dangerous beliefs,
and become radicalized.
So what you're saying is
masturbation can save lives.
Definitely.
Know what?
Let's do it right now.
Let's show 'em all.
Let's go.
I love talking to you, man.
Come on.
-Take out your dick! -(beep)
♪ ♪
We can't show you the rest of that interview,
but I will say, when I think
about these young people being manipulated
into joining hate groups,
it makes me very angry,
and-and-and frustrated, and... (sighs)
(grunts) Excuse me for one second.
(clears throat)
Anyway... (sighs)
If you or anyone you know
seems to be getting drawn into the alt-right,
before buying that tiki torch,
try lighting the one inside your khakis first.
I'm Michael Kosta
telling all you young angry men
to stop hatin' and start batin'.
