#deradicalization
Honestly it's kind of like normal terf deradicalization we need to get them into DnD or knitting or some shit

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
The reason that the Harry Potter apologists won't just read better books is because they're not looking for good stories...if they were, they wouldn't have glommed on to Harry Potter. They're looking for the camaraderie and social phenomenon that Harry Potter was in the 2000s.

Deradicalization by way of stuffing them into your pants.

surely the only available word is "deradicalization"

This even isn't all that useful as a "deradicalization" story because she's still radicalized. Her husband (and NPR!) are enabling her to keep holding the same deranged beliefs, just express them more politely.

I mean that *is* also a deradicalization tactic, Bob Altemeyer recommends in it The Authoritarians!

Once a person passes a certain point of radicalization, deradicalization has a low chance of success.

The focus has to shift from changing beliefs to interdicting their ability to organize, recruit, fundraise.

Just making it expensive, painful, laborious, and dangerous for them to hurt people. /12

for the most part if you're doing deradicalization, you're probably not famous.

I've said that deradicalization usually doesn't work. That doesn't mean it should never be tried — it's just that the statistics aen't good (even people who do derad work say this).

Nor am I suggesting fascists should be coddled. Fascists need to be stopped, by ANY means necessary. 11/

I don't think we talk enough about how powerful and important the deradicalization Vaggie goes through is.
March 31, 2025 at 5:45 PM
Oh my goodness, this is such a good and welcome reminder that even in the heart of those spaces, deradicalization is possible. 💕

The dodgy and colonialist Netanyahu-Trump 'peace plan' calls for the deradicalization of Gaza.

A far higher priority for regional security and peace is the deradicalization of Israel.

These are literally diagnostic criteria examples lmao the deradicalization pipeline looks like a CBT workbook and 300mg gabapentin
“oh, you think conservative men are terrified of big cities? common mistake. we are actually all just self-taught jason bournes.”

deradicalization does not work at scale. not if the goal is explicitly to deradicalize.

but people do like to back winners and feel like momentum is behind whatever they're doing. build a movement that can reach and inspire the young men who don't suck and some one ones who do will derad themselves

Deradicalization is going to require inventing Male Hobbies so cringe they have not even been conceived of yet.
every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

I'm working on preventing school shootings here in brazil and our focus is preventing kids of being radicalizing through education. Deradicalization, as you've said, is really hard, so it's always better to work on prevention.

Deradicalization is good, actually. Convincing people scared of “toxins” that pollution & germ theory are real and that Trump is making those problems worse is a net boon for society.
September 5, 2026 at 8:54 PM
so how is israel doing on that trifecta of accountable governance, comprehensive deradicalization, and end terror attacks against palestinians
September 24, 2025 at 4:38 PM
Are redpill guys ever like like, "the youtube algorithm is trying to put me on the deradicalization pipeline by recommending problematic male feminists"

deradicalization is a long, slow, painful process and not a very scalable one

which really isn’t great in the face of the mainstreaming of conspiracy theories

I cannot overstate the degree to which if we manage to wrest back control before they blow up the world there will need to be thousands of evangelicals in jail for deradicalization and to stop further incitement
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus
Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

This feels like an important thing to reup: We need Teen Vogue but for young men. A platform that’s empathic and politically enlightening, a space for safe community that provides nontoxic self esteem and a path to deradicalization in the face of the all-entwining tentacles of the manosphere.

I think a lot of people are admiring Luigi's work in deradicalization.
January 2, 2025 at 12:42 AM
>Part of the issue is that the Israelis are going to need to undergo deradicalization

here, i fixed that for you
April 26, 2025 at 4:33 PM
it isn't that people do not mobilize - often, they do! historically, indigenous sovereignty, black liberation movements, & internationalist youths. the problem more so is that every other segment quickly tries to abandon or contain them. one of the most amorphous deradicalization systems in history

💃 deradicalization cannot be macrosociological in nature 💃
