摘要

摘要长期以来,学者们一直将激进化视为一种主要基于群体的现象,主要通过“现实世界”的人际互动发生。相比之下,互联网在促使人们走向暴力方面只起到了有限的“促进”作用。然而,过去十年中极右翼极端分子的一系列袭击表明,这种观点不如以前准确。这些恐怖分子几乎都不是极端组织的成员,只在互联网上与其他极端分子接触过。在这篇文章中,我们研究了面对面的群体互动和身体孤立的基于互联网的激进化在驱使个人走向极端主义暴力方面的相对重要性。我们通过对新西兰主要的白人民族主义意识形态团体“新西兰行动”的详细案例研究来做到这一点。该研究基于其中一位作者从2019年到2021年对该群体18个月的渗透。在网上互动时,成员们经常采用高度极端主义的人物形象,在某些情况下甚至威胁到大规模暴力。相比之下,面对面的互动和团体成员身份使该团体远离了极端主义暴力。这是由于几个因素造成的:警方的压力和运动发展的机会不足,以及线下互动往往缺乏灵感。

How online interaction radicalises while group involvement restrains: a case study of Action Zealandia from 2019 to 2021
ABSTRACT Scholars have long seen radicalisation as a predominantly group based phenomenon, occurring largely through ‘real world,’ in person interaction. By contrast, the internet is seen as playing only a limited ‘facilitating’ role in radicalising people to violence. However, a series of attacks by far right extremists over the past decade has demonstrated that this perspective is less accurate than it once was. Almost none of these terrorists were members of extremist groups and had only engaged with other extremists on the internet. In this article, we examine the relative importance of face-to-face group interaction and physically isolated internet-based radicalization in driving individuals towards extremist violence. We do so through a detailed case study of Action Zealandia, New Zealand’s leading ideological white nationalist group. The study is based on eighteen months of infiltration of the group by one of the authors from 2019 to 2021. When interacting online, members often adopt highly extremist personas, in some cases threatening mass violence. By contrast, face to face interaction and group membership pushed the group away from extremist violence. This was due to several factors: police pressure and a lack of opportunity for the movement to grow, and the often uninspiring nature of offline interaction.
