      6. So, there's a pattern that we see in some acts of political violence (or terrorism, if you want).

      7. You have individual who is troubled, possibly mentally ill but not necessarily. Extremist ideology can intersect with personal problems.

      8. Extremist ideology presents both a polorized view of contemporary reality and the possibility of apocalyptic deliverance through violence

      9. I want to make it clear that not everyone who is attracted to extremist ideology is troubled. The ideology has roots outside psychology.

      10. For the troubled individual appeal of extremist ideology is it offers both meaning and a solution.

      11. The meaning offered by extremist ideology is the polorized view of the world, clear sense of who is good & bad (white/black for Roof)

      12. Solution offered by extremist ideology is deliverance through apocalyptic violence: the race or religious war that will solve everything

      13. Let's say for the sake of argument Roof was troubled or mentally ill, that's still only half the equation. Ideology still plays a role.

      14. In the case of ISIS inspired, there's evidence that there propaganda in West is aimed precisely at troubled potential lone wolves.

      15. In the case of many nationalist/racist hate movements, there's both a theoretical wing & a mass base of troubled foot soldiers.

      16. To pick a random example, you have Serb nationalist intellectuals & politicians, whose incitement stirs up the dregs of society to kill

          17. In the case of Roof, you have a subculture of white nationalism. The Council of Conservative Citizens, various online hate groups.

          18. Where did Roof get those patches of flags for Apartheid South Africa & White Rhodesia? There's a subculture that sells that stuff.

          @HeerJeet "mass base of troubled foot soldiers" = "dregs of society" ?? Not 2 impressed w/that inference.
