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.

another under-discussed issue is that black-on-white crime is basically considered acceptable and normal, and barely investigated, so we would never even bother to find out if a black attacker left far-left comments on some hotep youtube video

Well, maybe not acceptable (but possibly treated as 'part of the experience'). I definitely agree that there's less of a presumption that the violence is 'hate-fueled', so to speak. Treated as mainly random and non-personal.

Reasonable to assume ppl most likely to engage in any physical assault r also likely to feel some enmity towards out-groups, some of the time. So, reasonable to assume most black-on-white crime has enmity a part of explanation (also helps explain the bizarrely high rate)

I don't mean to say that all b-on-w crime should be prosecuted as hate crime, or w-on-b shouldn't. I'm just noting that the law of the land is, whites who injure blacks are prosecuted more vigorously and for a harsher crime ("hate crime") than the reverse case
