The Covid-19 landscape is littered with fractured experiences, many of which are shaped by the profound implications of isolation. One such implication is the rise of extremism.
The pandemic hasn’t introduced problems like extremism or terrorism but it has become clear that the situation is bound to intensify challenges posed by them. And experts tracking the activities of extremists, especially online, are sounding warnings.
According to them, the pool of vulnerable people has grown, time to fester with resentful thoughts is limitless, and the propensity to buy into extremist messages is growing.
For many people, the pandemic has been a great enabler. Positives include working from home, digital learning, video socialising and grocery deliveries. As the Davos summit goes viral this week, it is worth pointing out that a newly released 28-country World Economic Forum/Ipsos survey showed a broad level of support for digital communications during the crisis.
