What I think is different today is -- regardless of how many people organically think this way -- social media is normalizing the idea. We're all being exposed to it.

It's only a minority of people who are radicalized, but it's a growing minority. Radical ideas are more accessible than ever for people to latch on to.

Radical views on violence, social relations, science, politics, distrust of institutions, etc are all way more common than they were in the 90s.

I’d want to see this interrogated with rigor. The alternate hypothesis, and my null, is a relatively fixed fraction of folks is more connected and visible today than before.
