Almost every human at a basic level responds to love, attention and acceptance. A few with seriously disturbed personality disorders may not but there is no reason to think that everyone who has been radicalised falls into those categories. So we can, over time, deradicalise them.

Them getting that love, attention and acceptance into our society isn’t what they will be seeking at the outset but they are humans, like us, and willin time come to appreciate and value it.

I don’t think anyone does. Totalitarianism and extremism is something we all condemn. Just look at the way the right try to separate themselves from being associated with the Nazis, even trying to suggest they were really socialists.

The truth is that some of the attitudes espoused by the Nazis can still be detected in the shadows cast by the right today.

I don’t detect anything similar to Stalin’s attitudes in any shadows cast by today’s left. Stalin was pure authoritarian.

Again not the point. The question was asked as to when any on the Left had been guilty of same sort of atrocities as the right. Examples were provided but were dismissed. As happens every time.
As has been said before - the Berlin Wall wasn't built to keep anyone out.

Don't forget Pol Pot

He was on the bench.

The Islamist in Sligo did just that. He castrated his gay victims before decapitating them.

And just afterwards the irish Establishment used the crimes to launch a lefty crusade against homophobia.....and potentially more draconian laws. Effectively blaming the Sligo community for one Muslim extremist.

The same is happening after the school stabbings.....more draconian laws against irish people for using hurty words.

Gaslighting or what ?
