| Description | The article sheds more light on the Terrorgram Collective’s recruitment efforts targeted at the broader extremist ecosystem using the concept of collective action framing. Doing so showed that their understanding of militant accelerationism might go beyond sabotaging critical infrastructure and perpetrating violence against perceived enemies since they encourage the reader to commit various seemingly irrelevant activities, e.g., defacing public property, damaging air conditioning systems, or throwing roofing nails on parking lots. Hence, the article concludes that this exhortation likely aids the Terrorgram Collective’s recruitment efforts embedded in compelling the reader to perpetrate politically motivated violence and terrorism. |
