It is precisely these threats that led myself and Dr. Amy Cooter to co-found @icde.bsky.social this year. While the Terrorgram Collective may have fallen, the next threat is just beginning and we are determined to marshal all resources and stakeholders to get ahead of it.

Terrorgram's Saints Culture, which created these attackers, will persist into the future & generate even more violent events.

Even today, as you read this message, young impressionable boys & girls are being groomed into a cult of hatred and misanthropy and ultimately carry out their own attack.

The militant accelerationism movement produces some of the most antisemitic and xenophobic propaganda materials ever produced.

They have redefined how radicalization dynamics online occur, driving a trend defined by youth organizers (some as young as 13!), propaganda creators, and perpetrators.

For years I have led the @arcglobal.bsky.social as our research fellows dug into the Terrorgram ecosystem & Terrorgram Collective.

From Christchurch to Poway to Buffalo to Bratislava, many communities have been afflicted by militant accelerationism terror, which we have tracked and analyzed.

Really sorry to hear this John.

Couldn’t agree more Craig! Which is why @amycooter.bsky.social and I co-founded @icde.bsky.social and
www.counteringextremism.org this year.

But that exact mission of combatting online harms and protecting society from digital-based terrorist threats is now at great risk with USG funding gone.

Key takeaways:
- The nature of radicalization is changing
- More online than ever before
- Age is younger (13-18)
- Racial & gender representation increasing in historically white male trend
- 764 & TCC increasingly linked to perpetrators' radicalization
- Misanthropy and nihilism overrepresented
