The book further examines pivotal issues such as female far-right influencers, paranoia, and accelerationism. It is essential reading for scholars, researchers, and activists interested in the contemporary far right and its subcultures.

Children and young people are confronted with an unprecedented threat environment, one that is compounded by the rise of fluid and hybrid extremes, beliefs and behaviors that blur the boundaries between ideological forms of extremism, personal and public grievances, child sexual abuse & extreme gore

"This creates an enabling environment where rising numbers of children and young people are radicalizing to violent extremism and mobilizing to commit acts of terrorism."

"We argue that the answer can be found in the distinctive vulnerabilities of youth – a transitional period in life that, together with current structural drivers, provides opportunities for new forms of violent extremism to emerge."

9/n Why would that mitigate the presence or influence of political or ideological motives? This mix of ideological and personal, public/private motives, is true for EVERY person who commits a terrorist act, and does not mitigate ideological influence. Yes, I mean *every* person.
