No Lives Matter (NLM) is a misanthropic, neo-Nazi online group that advocates for violence, terrorism and the destruction of humanity. Its core principles are radical nihilism and anti-humanism. The organization gained notoriety for its actions in the form of attacks, including a knife attack on a pensioner.[2] NLM also released violent manifestos explaining their philosophy, as well as advice on assault and murder.[3][1][4] The name "No Lives Matter" is a reference to the Black Lives Matter movement.[5]

NLM is closely associated with peripheral online communities such as "MKU (Maniac Murder Cult)", "Sadistic Maniacs Cult", "Satanic Front", and 764.[1] In July of 2024 NLM referred to a collaboration with the Mordwaffen Division, the European splinter group of the Atomwaffen Division.[6]

In its propaganda, the group refers to itself as "children of fire" whose mission is to "Kill mundane [ordinary] people in any dimension they're deployed in".[7] The group uses private messaging platforms such as Telegram[1] and Discord. On Telegram, NLM distributes crime manuals and provides information on bombs, disguises, selecting victims, recruiting new members, and evading justice.[1]

According to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, NLM and the "True Crime Community" have been linked to at least nine school shooting plots.[8]

History

On 21 August 2024, the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness released a threat assessment.[1] According to the report, NLM is "[...] looking for more soldiers to join our ranks, true misanthropic individuals" and they "only accept people that do irl [in real life] action". One precondition for acceptance into NLM is the practice of self harm in the form of "[...] deep bloody cuts that represent us [NLM]".

The FBI arrested a man from Virginia on 17 December 2024 and confiscated 150 explosive devices, most of which were pipe bombs. They were stored in a backpack with a "#NoLivesMatter" patch attached to it. There was no evidence that he was associated with the No Lives Matter organization.[9][10]
