I've seen some leftists argue that right wing ideologies themselves contain certain ideas more likely to attract sociopaths. If this is true, it's important to know how this functions.

I think the idea that some people getting involved in radical right wing ideas are notivated by hate to have some truth to it.

I've argued in the past that many ppl who are on the radical right (i.e. not just right-leaning moderates) have been beaten up pretty badly by modern society:https://quaslacrimas.wordpress.com/2017/02/01/recipe-for-reaction/ …

True. Alienation and societal atomisation probably contribute. I sometimes think about why Anton Lundin Pettersson attacked the school in Trollhättan here in Sweden. Supposedly he was a bit of a loner, and he seems to have been filled with much frustration.

I wonder if he would have made different choices if he could have been a part of a right wing organisation. That way his tendencies and beliefs could have been channelled into less destructive, more productive endeavours. Thereby innocent lives could have been spared.

I find there to be a common refrain from some leftists that xenophobic violence can be explained by rise in popularity of anti-immigrant parties, but this is probably correlation without causality. They are in my view instead both caused by the same thing, namely alienation.

Excellent point since many of the men carrying out these acts have a history of violence against family members as well

Seems reasonable to presume people who engage in more or less unprompted violence share some salient personality traits. Worth keeping profiles in mind.

generally even when dumb/impulsive ppl retaliate against a perceived injury, they match their escalation to a perceived norm as social norms around lvl of crime/violence change, do idiots move from "sending angry, incoherent letters" to "criminal assault"?
