The next Davison will most likely be known as a terrorist. It is a decision unlikely to be repeated. More immediately, it appears to reflect that Devon and Cornwall police are not up to speed with the emerging threat of “mixed, unstable or unclear” ideology. Terrorism, by definition, is the threat or use of action to intimidate the public in advancement of a political, religious, racial or ideological cause. The police’s decision not to categorise last Thursday’s attack as a terror incident will likely be judged by history as an oversight.
#INCEL SYNDROME CRACK#
Any attempt to crack down on such hate may, though, only push its members to migrate to newer ungoverned internet platforms. Thursday’s killings will mean that the online “manosphere” comes under new scrutiny, its sprawling decentralised network of chat rooms and gaming platforms helping to normalise misogyny. This category accounted for more than half of all referrals to the counter-terrorism Prevent programme in 2019/20– up from just 11% three years earlier. ABSTRACT This paper combines qualitative and quantitative content analysis to map and analyze the Incel worldview shared by members of a misogynistic online community ideologically linked to several recent acts of politically motivated violence, including Alek Minassian’s van attack in Toronto (2018) and Elliot Rodger’s school shooting in Isla Vista (2014). Inceldom is classified within a government category known as “mixed, unstable and unclear” ideologies. Yet even before the first lockdown, the incel ideology was increasingly popular. Although it was once classified as its own condition, Asperger’s is no longer an official diagnosis in the Diagnostic and. The pandemic has amplified a sense of marginalisation for many. Asperger's syndrome refers to a high-functioning form of autism.
Socially isolated individuals with little stake in society, like Davison, are those most vulnerable. The incel ideology followed by Jake Davison belongs to this new blurry extremism – incubated, propagated and weaponised online.
