Summary
Researchers have long explored how members of 
 the radical right use the Internet to connect with like-minded individuals
  and build a collective identity by othering their perceived “threat”.
  Yet little is known about how this “us” versus “them” dynamic unf
 olds over time.
This presentation will show how a sentiment analysis-based
  algorithm that adapts traditional criminal career measures and semi-param
 etric group-based modeling can evaluate how users’ radical opinions and 
 subsequent posting behaviours develop online.
Data was extracted from a su
 b-forum of the most visited white supremacy forum\, Stormfront\, and the s
 ample included 124\,058 posts made by 7\,014 authors over 15 years. Key re
 sults will be highlighted\, followed by a discussion of policy implication
 s and future research.
