BRUTALITY AND MURDER = BREEDS TERROR IN THE SOUL AND ACTS OF TERROR

BRUTAL COPS = BREEDS DEHUMANIZATION = BREEDS MORE BRUTALITY!

Psychologist Arie Kruglanski on WHY AMERICANS JOIN EXTREMISTS LIKE ISIL

1. Closed-mindedness
2. Angst about Reason for Existence 
3. Mindset that sees the world in sharp definition, no shades of gray
4. Simple Extreme ideologies
5. Very Coherent = Black and white = Right or wrong.
6. Chance to be very unique
7. Chance to be part of a larger cause
8. Help fill out a Lack of self-identity
9. Help fill the craving for significance.
10. Strong Overwhelming desire for certainty, order, and structure in one’s life
11. Help relieve gnawing doubts and uncertainty.
12. Seek belief system to provide CERTAINTY = Fundamentalist religions
13. Need to “know exactly what is right and what is wrong” = How to behave = sense of certainty = Total devotion and commitment to the cause.
14. These psychologists think they can de-radicalize these Extremists = Human need to manage uncertainty and find meaning and significance in life = Weaken the ideology using the promise of potential release and reintegration.

Measure of complexity of thought = Accept a variety of legitimate views = EXTREMISTS DO NOT = Thinks only about ONE RIGHT VIEW. = Good predictor of violent conflict. = OBL became MORE CERTAIN over time and became a “purist in his ideology.” = Help former extremists “find alternative ways of being significant, making a contribution, other than violence.”

Terrorism = CREATES fear and uncertainty = Strong need for closure WITHIN VICTIMS = CREATES MORE EXTREMISM = Become more suspicious of outsiders + Support strong security measures + Curtail individual liberties + FLOCK TO A STRONG LEADER.
