I’m becoming increasingly worried about the radicalisation of young men to the far right and Islam.
On the far right side, there seem to be lots of sights aimed at radicalising young white men e.g 4 Chan, 8 Chan etc. I believe many are recruited through online gaming communities where ‘ironic’ hate speech is used to normalise hate and lure them in.
There are many vulnerable men out there who are prime targets for recruitment to the far right agenda. How long will it be before one of them straps on a suicide vest?
They are no different from the Muslim boys who are being radicalised. They believe it’s them against the world too.
I don’t have a son but if I did, I’d be worried and would be having serious talks about online groups and the fact some of them have a nefarious agenda. I’d also warn him off anyone who tried to normalise any hate speech around him.
There seems to be an increasing number of angry young men. They find each other online and encourage each other into violence.
