‘A rabbit hole of paranoia’: what an IVF clinic bombing tells us about young men and online extremism | US news

EXperts says an online environmental system that allows the only representatives to hold the FRINGE’s views that promote violent extremism in the United States, following an attack during the weekend on a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California.

Investigators Comb the writings Among a 25 -year -old man who was killed in a major explosion outside the American reproductive centers, an artificial pollination facility, was severely affected by what they described as a “intentional terrorist act.” Suspect Jay Edward PartosShe was left behind the book, which seems to be marginal theories of “anti -accreditation” and nihilism, and the ideologies that oppose childbearing and have a general feeling of the lack of meaning in life.

Officials are still looking into the beliefs behind the attack, and if it is possible to connect Parikos to a web site that strengthens these views. But in the meantime, experts say the nihilistic view of the world that may be the suspect who committed to it is part of an increasing direction of people who find smaller and specialized ideologies instead of movements related to jihadist violence that drew followers for decades.

Brian Levin, the founding director of the Hate and Extremist Study Center and Fakhri Professor at Cal State San Bernardino, described the end of paganism as one of the most ambiguous theories that follow. Concept Generally the circles around the idea This reproduction is harsh and that more children should not be entered into a harsh world. A statement published on the Internet included the hope of sterilizing the planet “life disease”, although it is He did not yet It was linked to Bartkus.

But instead of the motives behind anti -quotas specifically, Levin said that online spaces now allow those who have single Wolf mentalities using “what they find in space online as a kind of hand in gloves for their custom destinations.”

“I think there are some things that are often excluded, the role that psychological distress plays, as well as how the Internet can help and incite anti -community, aggressive or suicide behaviors,” Levin said. “When the individual’s grievances, madness, despair are amplified, then draws attention to the anger of part of a continuous chain, this rabbit hole is especially for these unstable people very easy for people to go down.”

Levin said that the intense nature on the Internet of modern life has only exacerbated the ability of the only actors to find a motivation and verify health, when these ideas in the past may be present in their own silo, without violence on violence.

“[Now] Levin said that anger and grievance can find a philosophical house in an online society, with the skills acquisition component, which can make people more violent than before, “when the psychological destruction of itself has its own society, an online space, and determining the legitimate goals of this aggression, this is what you get.”

Javid Ali, associate professor at the University of Michigan and a former anti -terrorist official in the US government. He said that the attacks, such as the attacks in Palm Springs, were part of an increasing pattern of the only wolf tactics, and that investigators faced the difficult task of employing mysterious individual motives.

Ali, who spent contracts at the FBI and the Ministry of Internal Security, said that there is no single profile or investigators in the dominant ideology that can be aspired to in the hope of stopping violent attacks. This may be difficult for officials, who in the past more used to look at ties of trends in jihadist ideologies and they now have to quarrel “this varied spectrum of extremist beliefs.”

Often, this may mean that the potential attacker is not on the law enforcement radar – so that it is. Refer Attempt to detonate a car in Times Square In 2010. The wishful striker, Faisal Shahzad, built a homemade explosive device, put it inside the SUVs and drove the bomb to New York City, where it failed to detonate it.

Ali said: “Qumir put a car in his garage, and he did not get the attention of anyone completely and drove 30 or 40 miles to New York,” adding that they often had a shock like Shahzad, who were able to assemble the “truly advanced” devices themselves.

He said: “Often, these people have not previously been subject to investigations into the FBI, they are smoothly moving in this world from extremism to packing, and they are able to hide or not not reveal those steps that are likely to get the radar screen.”

“It is very difficult to stop them,” Ali added. “It is very difficult to get to know them primarily because things are very mysterious.”

Levin went on to say that the Americans are greatly given large freedoms in the context of the first amendment – even with large social views – the internet condition and social media had left a vacuum in which those with psychological distress could fall. Guarantees such as notifications on search browsers that alert people to help and support can be a way to help face this black hole.

“You will not be able to eliminate this,” he said. “But what we can do is to provide external breeds and help that we hope to be an option for people who are interested in otherwise without any quick bumps towards violent disappearance or suicide bomber.”
