Part of it is also a result of the insensitivity of the field to these added harms. Many publications take the complex identities of extremism victims (and perps) for granted and, sometimes, still altogether ignore how race and racism must be considered for accurate analysis and prevention efforts

I've been thinking about the intersections of these issues with the topics the field analyzes for a long time. Recently, we've seen a simplifying of motives for participation in nostalgic (aka right wing/far right/etc.) groups such that they are increasingly all described as "white supremacist."
