Has anyone done a legit study on what motivates people to join groups like antifa? I feel like there’s got to be a better way to get through to some of these people and deradicalize some of them.
It seems like part of what antifa does is get them a criminal record and make it so they’re outcast from society and therefore more motivated to be in their group to get revenge on a system they perceive as wronging them. There’s got to be middle ground between summary execution/life imprisonment and dropping all charges for the rioters and looters who aren’t ideologues. Ideologues get helicopter rides, but I think a vast majority of the people who get swept up in this communist bs are just people struggling with drug and mental problems and being taken advantage of. Like I see maybe 2 or 3 people in that photo that might end up being a normal person if there were resources available to reprogram this critical social justice mindset.
