Billy Roper, a longtime neo-Nazi and Christian Identity extremist, is now trying to build a whites-only enclave in the Ozarks. Framing it as his “Ozarkia” project, Roper is recruiting families, organizing militia-style training, and reviving decades-old networks of violent white supremacists. His vision is rooted in apocalyptic racism — an effort to ready his followers for what he sees as an imminent, racially driven collapse of the U.S.
As someone from the area, not really.
