You should make a quality argument on behalf of your perspective. This is a persuasive speech. You must attempt to persuade the class to believe as you believe on this issue.
Your topic should be presented in a clear, well-organized format. It is critical to develop your ideas and provide relevant researched information. You will need to use at least 6 quality sources in your speech to support your argument. The words used must be cited verbally in your speech (Author, Publication Title, and Exact Date), as well as on a reference page turned in with the outline using APA style guidelines.
Consider these questions as you craft your speech:

What is the problem?
How do you know it is a problem? (Could it be interpreted differently?)
Who does the problem affect? (On a global, national, or local scale)
What is the scope of the problem?
What is causing the problem? How do you know that is the cause of the problem?

What are the core beliefs and objectives of the CI movement and Antifa as representative examples of right-wing and left-wing extremist groups in the U.S.?

Right-Wing Christian Identity and Left-Wing Antifa Extremist Groups in the U.S

Purpose Statement

The goal of this research is to perform a thorough examination of two unique domestic extremist groups in the United States, notably the Christian Identity (CI) movement, which represents the right-wing perspective, and Antifa, which represents the left-wing perspective. This study will dive into these groups’ ideologies, ambitions, political acts, propaganda techniques, violent activities, recruitment processes, and radicalization methods. The study compares and contrasts these groups to find underlying trends and differences, providing a better understanding of domestic extremism. Also, the study will look into successful counter-violent extremism measures that can be implemented for both groups to reduce their impact on society.

Research Questions

· What are the core beliefs and objectives of the CI movement and Antifa as representative examples of right-wing and left-wing extremist groups in the U.S.?
· What are the differences and similarities in the political actions and propaganda techniques employed by these two groups?
· What are the specific instances of violent actions associated with the Christian Identity movement and Antifa, and how do these actions align with their respective ideologies?

Christian Identity Movement

The CI movement is profoundly rooted in white supremacist beliefs, and its interpretation of Christianity promotes racial purity and supremacy (Davis, 2010). It advocates for a theocratic government based on its understanding of Christian teachings and seeks to establish a white ethnostate within the United States. Notably, the movement has been linked to several disquieting political actions, including acts of domestic terrorism and hate crimes (Atkins, 2011). The Christian Identity movement uses various propaganda techniques to promote its extremist ideology through religious narratives and conspiracy theories. This has contributed to a history of violent acts, including assassinations, bombings, and attacks on minority communities (CTEC Staff, 2021). The recruitment and radicalization processes of the movement are facilitated by white supremacist networks, online forums, and ideological congruence with other hate groups.

Antifa

Antifa opposes the Christian Identity movement. Its fundamental values differ from the far right and seek to eliminate bigotry in all forms (Alizadeh et al., 2019). Antifa is a group whose members actively promote social justice and work to fight hate speech in an effort to disrupt far-right and fascist actions. Protests, demonstrations, and confrontations against far-right gatherings and hate groups are just some of the political acts taken by the movement. Antifa uses a unique mix of propaganda tools, such as social media and grassroots gatherings, to get its message out and its members to act. Some Antifa members have been guilty of vandalism, property destruction, and fights with far-right groups (Koehler, 2021). People join the movement mainly through social media, local activist groups, and a shared dislike of fascism.

Comparison and Contrast

The Christian Identity movement and Antifa represent two extremities of the political spectrum because of their opposing ideals, goals, and techniques (Jones, 2018). Despite variations, propaganda is employed by all factions to promote their interests, albeit through distinct narratives and communication platforms. Antifa is characterized by a reactive stance driven by a goal to combat hatred and injustice. At the same time, the Christian Identity movement has a history marked by violent actions based on white supremacist beliefs (Rydgren, 2018).

Counter-Violent Extremism Approaches

The threat these extremist groups pose can be addressed by implementing a multifaceted strategy for combatting violent extremism. This includes community outreach activities to increase dialogue and understanding between underrepresented groups. To fight the transmission of misleading information, educational efforts should be developed to refute extremist narratives while encouraging critical thinking and media literacy (Armaly et al., 2022). Collaboration between law enforcement and local communities must be strengthened to effectively identify and mitigate extremist risks while maintaining trust and transparency. The creation of internet platforms that provide alternative narratives can be used to fight extremist propaganda by engaging users with credible and interesting material (Baker, 2018). Lastly, for early intervention and help, it is critical to provide resources and support to persons vulnerable to radicalization due to circumstances such as social isolation or mental health concerns.

Conclusion

This research paper examines the Christian Identity movement and Antifa’s ideas, actions, and techniques of recruitment and radicalization in depth. The paper helps to better understand domestic extremism by comparing and contrasting different groups. The discussion of counter-violent extremism tactics highlights the need to take proactive steps to reduce the impact of extremist groups on society and foster a more inclusive and accepting atmosphere.
