ISIS and the Alt-Right use the exact same new media recruiting methods to incite acts of violence.
Truck attacks, random stabbings, acid attacks, shootings, all motivated by the ramblings of internet bots on twitter and shit spewing nonstop appealing propaganda, specifically intended to prey upon suggestible young men who are looking for a purpose in life but are feeling lost, and find it in politics, as angry young men have for millennia. Then that guy pledges allegiance for ISIS/The Alt Right Agenda, leaves a note and kills a bunch of people. Who actually loses in the end with this literal war psychological warfare? Well for one the civilians caught in the schizophrenic crossfire.
But the real issue is that people are taking the bait and true divisions are ending sown on a global scale. Racist, isolationist, regressive attitudes are seeing s resurgence. But these goals align very well with one another: most modern day ethno nationalists and racists want isolationist policies and some form of "peaceful ethnic cleansing" (?). This actually makes sense for the goals of groups like ISIS, who want no western involvement in the culture, politics or economics of the middle East.
Yes, the Eastern and Western terrorists have undoubtedly joined forces to incite these attacks and divide the people.
