      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.

      19. This hard-core white nationalist subculture receives reinforcement from wider culture of soft racism: Confederate flag on state capital

      20. Roof's friend said Roof wasn't a racist, just made racist jokes & had "strong conservative beliefs." Think about that.

      21. The racist jokes and the "strong conservative beliefs" are, let us say, the gateway drugs. Most can partake of them and go no further.

      22. But let's say "strong conservative beliefs" and racist jokes don't give enough kick. There's the harder stuff, the racist subculture

      23. Of course, most of the other people in racist subculture don't act out logic of their position. They're all talk, just posting on net

      24. But for a few troubled individuals in racist subculture, talk isn't good enough. They want fulfillment in apocalyptic violence

      25. The violence isn't just an acting out of personal disorder, it's a chance to gain agency, to enter into the making of history.

          26. Sense of agency & empowerment that violence gives to the troubled individual that is key. Chance to be in charge, make things happen.

          27. As with ISIS inspired lone wolf attacks, I think the policy lessons here are need for earlier psychiatric intervention & depolorization

          @BRusselsghost White guys have a greater entrenched sense of grievance and their right to preserve their place in society.
