Multiple splinter groups of the KKK have cropped up over the years, particularly in the modern era during the latter half the 20th century and into the 21st century following the collapse of the third Klan (the last time that a national, centralized Klan actually existed.) Most of these splinter groups operate independently from each other (but still work together frequently.) | Multiple splinter groups of the KKK have cropped up over the years, particularly in the modern era during the latter half the 20th century and into the 21st century following the collapse of the third Klan (the last time that a national, centralized Klan actually existed.)

Most modern Klans (and related organizations) have adopted traits of Neo-Nazism, Neo-[[Fascism]], Neo-Paganism, [[Islamophobia]], [[homophobia]], [[Christian Identity]], anti-communism and anti-liberalism. Typically, their disagreements are over which of these beliefs is most important. For instance, some Klans might prefer to follow Christian Identity and reject Nazism as a foreign, un-American ideology, whereas others are open to non-Christians(usually atheists or pagans) and embrace Nazism. | Most modern Klans (and related organizations) have adopted traits of Neo-Nazism, Neo-[[Fascism]], Neo-Paganism, [[Islamophobia]], [[homophobia]], [[Christian Identity]], anti-communism and anti-liberalism.
