In case you new folks are interested in the relationship between violent non-state actors like ISIS and neo-Nazi movements, here's an old thread.
I've long referred to this parasitic relationship as "symbiotic extremism."

The problem of shared radicalization between ISIS and the far right is not limited to the US or the UK.
It's on the rise globally, more than ever - especially now.
I touch here on similar trends across India, China, and beyond (Feb. 2020):

One of the clearest examples of what I'm calling symbiotic extremism - which Trump has eagerly fueled - took place in 2019.
Christchurch, New Zealand.
A neo-Nazi, Islamophobic zealot massacring Muslims on a live video-feed, just like... ISIS.

If you're interested in what to DO re symbiotic extremism (ISIS / Trump insurgents, far-right, etc.), I wrote about Shamima Begum in this mega-thread.
A different view on how to combat radicalization and emotional manipulation and, I believe, find hope.

This thread is from the summer, but it tackles the danger of "insurrection" discourse in the wake of BLM, and - unsettlingly enough...

I. Just. Want. It. To. End.
If we don’t end it, it will end us. All of us.
Mark my words.
If we don’t end it, it will end us. All of us.
Mark my words.
If we want to stop it, we cannot forget that people change.
We can’t lose sight of hope - for our collective survival.

The last thing I want to say for now: that post-Christchurch thread on Shamima Begum resulted in neo-Nazis targeting me for death, and a host of other cataclysmic events like job loss.
I don’t regret writing it. I would not change a thing.
It helps me keep hope alive.

Don’t forget: from COVID to the Capitol, from ISIS to neo-Nazis, and the military industrial complex to the BJP:

Forgot to add this one - a quick explainer on mass culpability and how optimism should be cautious in light of how political divides work (in response to Jeff Sessions’ firing):
