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.

Yes. By "accepted" I mean a known possibility of action. This is something other angry, disaffected people do so it is an option. Since many of these activities involve murder-suicide I think there is also an element of theater. These are displays of anger and despair and revenge

Germans have a norm surrounding killing yourself by train, the US has a suicide-by-cop norm. That is well established, hard to say exactly how many ppl who unnecessarily antagonize police are suicidal first, criminal second
