Also as far as the similarity between white power and jihad.. there's a couple good podcasts interviewing this one lady who made documentaries about each of them. Making sense with Sam Harris #144 is one and the other was a recent episode of the Ezra Klein podcast. I haven't seen the actual documentaries but they sound interesting.I think it's not actually true these movements attract morons and uneducated people. They attract people with identity issues who are looking for a sense of brotherhood and belonging. IIRC the average ISIS recruit is actually better off and more educated than the average citizen from their country of origin.
