They both adverstise their twisted mentalities towards young men between the ages for 15 and 35. Think about every so skeptic/anti sjw whatever is of the following:

  • An under achiever
  • Doesn't have many real life friends
  • Usually have some story that their life sucks
  • A gamer
  • Blames their problems on others
  • think that they're doing good while actively trying to hurt others
  • Have women issues
  • Spends too much time on the internet

Do I need to say more

Those are pretty surface level similarities. More important common ground between these two groups are:

  • homophobia

  • anti feminism/opposition to gender equality

  • anti socialism

  • anti liberalism

  • anti intellectualism

  • a desire to return to a near mythical past 'golden age', and a firm rejection of modernity

  • a clear idea of people of certain religion and ethnicity should be firmly in charge

  • a belief that certain people should be exterminated due to their religion and/or ethnicity

I also think there is often a narcissistic identity formation but with life failure. You see that a ton in mass shooters.

Yep. Absolutely inescapable that the same tactics used to radicalize people are the same no matter who it is being radicalized.

An extra similarity I forgot to mention: both are fought by people waving antifascist flags.

The most troubling aspect of this for me is that terrorists and right-wing populist politicians have a lot of goals in common. Both seek to promote fear - terrorists so that they can create their Holy War , and right-wing populism so that they can promote the fear and push their political agenda.

E: Case in point. Two separate instances across two different countries.

The only reason ISIS isn't considered the same as the alt-right is the twin effect of islamophobia and white supremacy

TFW I tick a good number of those boxes but am neither ISIS or a Right Wing Populist.

I am lost!
