Frimer1 , Mark J. Brandt2 , Zachary Melton3, and Matt Motyl3 Abstract We propose that political extremists use more negative language than moderates. Previous research found that conservatives report feeling happier than liberals and yet liberals “display greater happiness” in their language than do conservatives. However, some of the previous studies relied on questionable measures of political orientation and affective language, and no studies have examined whether political orientation and affective language are nonlinearly related. Revisiting the same contexts (Twitter, U.S. Congress), and adding three new ones (political organizations, news media, crowdsourced Americans), we found that the language of liberal and conservative extremists was more negative and angry in its emotional tone than that of moderates. Contrary to previous research, we found that liberal extremists’ language was more negative than that of conservative extremists. Additional analyses supported the explanation that extremists feel threatened by the activities of political rivals, and their angry, negative language represents efforts to communicate as much to others. Keywords language, anger, extremism, liberals and conservatives, threat, happiness Received February 27, 2018; revision accepted October 1, 2018 For too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: extremists—on both the political left and right—use more Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; negative language than moderates.

  • A Schema of Right-Wing Extremism in the United States
    ICCT Policy Brief October 2019 DOI: 10.19165/2019.2.06 ISSN: 2468-0486 A Schema of Right-Wing Extremism in the United States Author: Sam Jackson Over the past two years, and in the wake of deadly attacks in Charlottesville and Pittsburgh, attention paid to right-wing extremism in the United States has grown. Most of this attention focuses on racist extremism, overlooking other forms of right-wing extremism. This article presents a schema of three main forms of right-wing extremism in the United States in order to more clearly understand the landscape: racist extremism, nativist extremism, and anti-government extremism. Additionally, it describes the two primary subcategories of anti-government extremism: the patriot/militia movement and sovereign citizens. Finally, it discusses whether this schema can be applied to right-wing extremism in non-U.S. contexts. Key words: right-wing extremism, racism, nativism, anti-government A Schema of Right-Wing Extremism in the United States Introduction Since the public emergence of the so-called “alt-right” in the United States—seen most dramatically at the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017—there has been increasing attention paid to right-wing extremism (RWE) in the United States, particularly racist right-wing extremism.1 Violent incidents like Robert Bowers’ attack on the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in October 2018; the mosque shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand in March 2019; and the mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas in August

  • Psychological and Personality Profiles of Political Extremists
    Psychological and Personality Profiles of Political Extremists Meysam Alizadeh1,2, Ingmar Weber3, Claudio Cioffi-Revilla2, Santo Fortunato1, Michael Macy4 1 Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA 2 Computational Social Science Program, Department of Computational and Data Sciences, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA 3 Qatar Computing Research Institute, Doha, Qatar 4 Social Dynamics Laboratory, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA Abstract Global recruitment into radical Islamic movements has spurred renewed interest in the appeal of political extremism. Is the appeal a rational response to material conditions or is it the expression of psychological and personality disorders associated with aggressive behavior, intolerance, conspiratorial imagination, and paranoia? Empirical answers using surveys have been limited by lack of access to extremist groups, while field studies have lacked psychological measures and failed to compare extremists with contrast groups. We revisit the debate over the appeal of extremism in the U.S. context by comparing publicly available Twitter messages written by over 355,000 political extremist followers with messages written by non-extremist U.S. users. Analysis of text-based psychological indicators supports the moral foundation theory which identifies emotion as a critical factor in determining political orientation of individuals. Extremist followers also differ from others in four of the Big

  • Christian Religiosity and Support for Populist Radical Right Parties in Europe
    Christian Religiosity and Support for Populist Radical Right Parties in Europe Weiqian Xia (ANR: 255913) Department of Sociology School of Social and Behavioral Sciences Tilburg University Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Peter Achterberg Second Reader: Dr. Koen Abts 1 Abstract In this study, we investigate the relationship between Christianity and voting for populist radical right (PRR) parties in Europe. We try to examine four mechanisms that has not yet been well researched: the pro-social values fostered in Christian doctrine and community engagement; the religion’s function of social integration as an antidote to right-wing extremism; the differentiated effects of realistic ethnic threat and symbolic ethnic threat in religious competition; and the supply-side influence from political parties’ manifesto on traditional morality. We test our hypothesis by using European Social Survey Round 7 data. First, we show that only Christian community engagement leads to less voting for populist radical right parties, and there is no significant influence from Christian conviction. Second, we find that the negative effect of Christian community is not mediated by more pro-social values, but mediated by higher level of social integration. The social integration function of Christianity resisting right-wing extremism works extraordinarily on lower-educated people. The mediations of ethnic threats are opposite to our expectation that people with more Christian community engagements perceive less threats and vote less for populist radical right parties, and we do not find different effects between two types of threats. Third, on national level, we find that in countries with more Christian population, people with higher levels of Christian community engagement or higher levels of Christian conviction are more likely to vote for populist radical right parties.

This paper discusses these two ideologies based on the observation of result analysis from several conducted research. In addition to that, the discussion in this paper will also examine where the ideologies are placed in the media in today’s era of convergence. This article is written based on the research that was conducted qualitatively which involved historical and content analyses. The findings show that the liberal ideology moves concurrently with the dissemination of the secularism ideology. Its widespread growth is in line with the rapid development of communications media in the era of convergence. If this is not contained in its early stages, it can be one of the factors that contribute to the rise of extremist-minded society. The implication is that the religious harmony in this country will be affected as well as the level of unity between different races and ethnicities.

  • Extremism, Free Speech and the Rule of Law: Evaluating the Compliance of Legislation Restricting Extremist Expressions with Article 19 ICCPR Amy Shepherd*
    UTRECHT JOURNAL OF Amy Shepherd, ‘Extremism, Free Speech and the Rule of Law: Evaluating the INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN LAW Compliance of Legislation Restricting Extremist Expressions with Article 19 ICCPR’ (2017) 33(85) Utrecht Journal of International and European Law pp. 62–83, DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/ujiel.405 RESEARCH ARTICLE Extremism, Free Speech and the Rule of Law: Evaluating the Compliance of Legislation Restricting Extremist Expressions with Article 19 ICCPR Amy Shepherd* In the years since 9/11, international security discourse has heightened concerns around extremism, positioning this as the key threat that States need to address in order to prevent and combat terrorism. Politically, enactment of domestic legislation curtailing extremist expressions has been internationally authorised and encouraged and in May 2016 the United Kingdom (‘UK’), spearheading a liberal State trend towards rights-restrictive approaches to extrem- ism, announced its intention to enact legislation imposing a range of civil sanctions on those publicly expressing extremist views. But laws such as this restrict the core democratic right to freedom of expression and so must comply with the tripartite requirements for restrictions enshrined in Article 19(3) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (‘ICCPR’) to be legitimate. Using the UK to dynamically exemplify the issues, this paper assesses the manner in which the laws curtailing extremist expressions comply with international human rights law. Keywords: freedom of expression; terrorism; extremism; counter-terrorism; counter-extremism; Article 19 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; ICCPR ‘The question is not whether we will be extremists but what kind of extremists we will be.
