If you are a social worker or anyone interested in understanding the psychosocial factors involved with those who exit from far-right extremist groups, I highly recommend this book.

Of course, as a former extremist turned social worker who works with others getting out, I may be biased.

Funny how evidence from all types of former extremists suggests that "formers" with appropriate resources are the key to creating more "formers." Yet the academics and "experts" all want to circle jerk and pretend they are the only ones with answers.

Political violence is definately not teh right way. It's why I left the far right. It's also why I believe this was probably a right-winger... but there are better ways... no matter which side you are on.
As much as I abhor this tragedy, a reminder to everyone that Charlie Kirk was a bonafide racist sexist homophobe and renound nazi. I sympathize with his family.

It’s less about whether they like it/hate it than what they have any power to do. By law FBI agents can only arrest people for federal crimes or *felonies committed in their presence*. They can’t just turn into local police
All I know about FBI agents is from watching Quantico and following @asharangappa.bsky.social , but it doesn't seem to me like a bunch of lawyers who went to "grad school/boot camp" would enjoy this kind of work? Like actually they would hate it?
