The Radicalisation Process - Tom's Thoughts #1
For one reason or another, I've recently found myself trying to understand how someone becomes radicalised, perhaps in person first, and how this process may be fuelled by continuous online exposure to the same harmful ideologies they were initially exposed to.
It seems to be the case that those most vulnerable in society - psychologically, intellectually, economically, or other - are most susceptible to attempts of radicalisation. But, anyone yearning for meaning or connection could also be at risk.
Imagine suddenly becoming a divorcee, living alone without your kids, without any real social life. You're quite vulnerable. It makes sense that you'd be looking for connection; even just something to fill the time.
Someone/some group walks into your life and offers exactly what you're missing. They quite naturally assume a lot of power over you in that state. Over time, you can imagine what sort of indoctrination could take place, especially if you're naturally agreeable, or uneducated etc.
You may take your new-found attitudes to the online world, likely after those in the real world disagree and distance themselves.
However, this quickly becomes an 'echo-chamber' where there is a distinct lack of open, reasonable, fair-yet-critical discourse such as that found in scientific enquiry, for example. Radicalised individuals are then easily able to find others who feel the same way and form (geographically scattered & small IRL, yet influential online) groups who continually reinforce each other's extreme views.
This appears to be a difficult situation from which to become 'unstuck' - some studies suggest terrorist radicalisation is impossible to undo.
But, I believe we should try our best to help, particularly if it concerns a loved one, or something as important as your human rights.
If you found anything I said in this blog interesting, please consider listening to the podcast 'Understanding Online Radicalisation' (Tech Against Terrorism, 2022):

Tom Hutchcraft “Breathe Me”

Breathe Me softly flows,
Melancholic notes and words,
Sia's soul in sound.
