A very welcome perspective. Thanks.

I’d be cautious not to over-apply the principle as there are nuances of every kind for behavior so extreme — and (as you thoughtfully remind us) it’s a tactic and so itself does not pronounce the actor’s specific aims. But fair to say as a causal element it’s been quite under-applied in the discussion.

I recall a podcast about the Danish town of Aarhus where Muslim youth were leaving to join ISIS, and some returning…and the Aarhus police department’s approach was all about inclusion, integration, welcome. The impact was striking.
