Nihilistic Violent Extremism Is Totally Real Affirms FBI

Recently, American law enforcement agency The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been warning the world about the phenomenon known a nihilistic violent extremism, where people through their lack of belief in societal structures, turn to violence to substitute that lack of belief. A spokesperson for the FBI has made a statement regarding the matter:

"Our research shows the new bogeyman to explain why children and youths are increasingly resorting to violent tendencies is nihilistic violent extremism. We have found that isolation, ostracization, bullying, and poor home life increase the risk of radicalization and violence but instead of addressing the core problems children and youths face today which lead them down this path, we urge you to ignore this and only focus on the end result. While we actually can pinpoint the reasons these people commit violence, often being to get revenge on a group of people or a society they feel has wronged them or indeed being ideological beliefs, we assure you that nihilistic violent extremism is totally real and the core problem to be addressed.

"We've found that people who are critical of societal expectations and institutions are especially at risk. If you encounter anyone displaying behavior which questions the expectations forced upon them, that could be a sign that they are being radicalized. We urge you to report that person to law enforcement if you believe they are at risk of committing a crime. We are also aware of groups which target people at risk of radicalization for recruitment into organizations affiliated with violent behavior. These groups often target children and groom them into loyalty and subservience which in turn opens them up to being willing to commit acts of violence on their behalf. We urge parents, guardians, and anyone who cares for children to monitor their online interactions. If you find your child or one under your care questioning expectations put upon them, this is a warning sign they're being groomed by predators. But rest assured, instead of encouraging computer and internet safety curriculum, we are working with legislators to update the laws so that children are restricted from accessing the internet. This will ensure children already bullied, ostracized, and isolated in real life are forced to be even more isolated, not even being able to escape to the internet.

"Following our report on nihilistic violent extremism, police forces across America, along with the United States Army have teamed up to start a recruitment campaign which targets troubled youths to recruit into the police force or armed forces in hopes they will kill people for our God-blessed country instead of taking out their homicidal urges on relatively innocent civilians. Since making our initial write-up, multiple journals and news publications have also released countless articles discussing the problem of nihilistic violent extremism that while not written by AI, are just as algorithmic and unquestioning of our reports while all making the exact same points."

In response to the FBI's statement, Albert Huser, a high school principal in East Virginia, USA made his own statement:

"As a principal of a school of 200 students, I know firsthand the troubles which have found themselves ingrained in our youths. In just the past year, my school has experienced two student suicides, an attempted school shooting, and two threats of a shooting. One of those students who committed suicide, a young girl, hanged herself in her home. On her phone, the police found messages mentioning how she was bullied and exhausted by schoolwork, expressing the desire to leave school and not return. The people who she was talking to encouraged her to not come to school. Clearly this young girl was being targeted and groomed by these predators who encouraged her to throw away her education. If only we knew this was happening, we could have put a stop to these communications and perhaps she would have come to school like she was supposed to and never would have done what she did.

"The other student who committed suicide brought a firearm to school and shot himself in front of 150 students. This student was a real trouble maker. He had been suspended about a dozen times for attacking students and had trouble with authority. Although we ignored his reports of bullying and harassment and we would sometimes suspend him over unsubstantiated reports, there is absolutely no excuse to resort to violence. After his death, students even reported to the press how they had been scared of him. Despite no evidence being found on his devices explaining why he would do such a thing, I firmly believe this student's actions were the result of being convinced online to commit such an act as no one at that age could possibly come up with such a horrible idea themselves.

"Regarding the perpetrator of the attempted shooting and the two students who threatened an attack on my school, while all three reported being bullied and one came from an abusive family, our internal investigations and police questioning of students that reportedly bullied the perpetrators revealed that bullying could not have been a motivating factor. Because none of the three students had any social media posts expressing a desire or reason to commit such an act and we can no longer blame video games and Satanic media, we have come to the conclusion that the root cause of violent tendencies among these students was online radicalization into nihilistic extremism.

"I take pride in the fact that my school is a safe learning environment. To ensure that this safety stands, we are implementing metal detectors and bag searches along with increasing the amount of cameras in the school, including installing them in the bathrooms so we can monitor every student to make sure they are on their best behavior. We are also instating a social media disclosure mandate among our students which requires that they disclose their social media profiles to the school so we may monitor their online behavior ourselves and with the help of machine learning software. Having any profiles found that have not been disclosed may lead to disciplinary action. The lack of bullying in my school proves the effectiveness of the anti-bullying program we have instated ever since school shootings started becoming commonplace and of course, we fully support legislation which protects our children by restricting their access to the internet where they can become radicalized and victimized."

As the issue of nihilistic violent extremism grows, people are urged to notice its signs and report them to the authorities. The FBI affirms that nihilistic violent extremism is very much a real thing and not a distraction from the actual root issues which lead to violence.
