This is one of the areas I'm also personally passionate about . As a child my father had been in the Air Force & my earliest memories included hastily being evacuated from a conflict zone, nothing like the horrendous displacement & journeys many civilians experience, but perhaps that helped cement my interest in the roots & mechanisms of conflict. I've long followed some of the sickening extreme human suffering in conflicts around the world (those of us paying attention to these have seen footage which has left scars) and growing up in Northern Ireland, one of the regions where hate continues to be charged long after conflicts in other regions with bloodier, bitter histories had subsided, i'd asked why, how? My interest in these questions was expanded through meeting interesting knowledgeable people along the way. Turns out many conflicts were ignited by campaigns with targeted political hate propaganda & terrorism, those campaigns have components in common which might be surprising to most.
Obviously public statements critical of hate, violence & arresting the occasional terrorist was never enough to disrupt the essential components of the Northern Ireland terrorist campaigns and other conflicts.
Simplistic extremist ideology, the logistical components of the activist networks recklessly directed hate, demonising & manipulating with grievance propaganda for political ends. Yet frustratingly little attention is paid to these components, ironically disrupting any of the key components could dissipate the charge pathways which have been essential to waves of hate & extremism fuelling reactionary hate & extremism, taking innocent lives & limiting the potential of individuals & communities in Northern & Southern Ireland to work together on positive initiatives.
As with the Capacitor (Top Left) In conflict, the charge also has components, some equivalents:
Energy Sources - Extremist Ideology, Organised funded Extremists & the inspired reactionary extremist's . Their supporting partners such as anti-democratic regimes interfacing providing logistical support through anti-western interface contacts.
Electrons - Charged individuals
In today's world extremists make full use of social media platforms to disseminate simplistic, dishonest, misleading
Conductors to deliver the current - Political Media & Propaganda, Normal Media inadvertently transporting inaccurate Inflammatory messaging.
Guiding Circuits - Organised funded Extremists
Messaging/Propaganda, essential in reinforcing simplistic tribal beliefs Ancestral Grievance Propaganda and maintaining extremist ideologies for recruiting wider support. Although delivery is often crude those involved are organised with observable overt activities (For those with awareness on tactical subversion, elevation & indirect assistance of extremists)
While platforms take measures to limit the most grotesque ISIS Propaganda, currently there's little practical resistance to the the rest of it, while other extremists cults face even less resistance.
Social media has a lot of wrongs to answer for, however it's also begun to enabled some Good Resources too (albeit limited thus far in comparison to gains it's provided to the components of conflict & hate.
Northern Ireland - A small UK territory which has been a great deal more important to the advance & defence of democracy than most people are aware. Due to it's geographical location (In an age of democracy) Ireland has been serious a target of invasion by anti-democratic powers on several occasions including during WW2.
However despite the sacrifice of those who fought the unrivalled evils of totalitarian communism & it's child Nazism, Including 70,000 Southern Irish Citizens (5000 of whom gave their lives alongside many more British & Allied forces) , the strategically important Northern Ireland remains under constant attack via Marxists derived anti-western Nationalist Socialist interface groups who retain affiliations & loyalties to the so-called international revolutionary network.

Capacitor
Above is a circuit symbol for a Capacitor and it's two plates used to store an electric charge (Electrical energy, where directional energy sources are guided in a circuit to build a polarised charge of electrons on opposing plates)
Above are two Capacitors with a switch in a simple circuit, as with conflict without a clear understanding of the basic components, the workings of that basic circuit are just to confusing to understand.
Those providing logistical support & guidance to extremists groups have long used the basic arrangement of conflict components to boost their capabilities, but those arrangements are equally as confusing to understand or even spot for many.
The use of "front groups" for deception is an example of this. These usually have appealing names, and are vital arrangements for extremists, terrorist organisations & anti-democratic regimes around the world (Which have often been intertwined or working against democracies) the various formats often serve multiple uses, from targeting & manipulating sections of populations by assembling protest movements & lobby groups.
Traditionally developed as populist manipulation tools of communism "Which still makes extensive use of these today" will add some examples with their unseen but truly devastating consequences.

A poignant reminder as to why security services should make vetting for simplistic anti-western Marxists beliefs a priority. (A common attribute to many who assisted dictatorships and the terrorist networks used to exploit divisions within target populations.
Unfortunately in the present day we have numerous former security staff doing the rounds on the media of dictatorships who use them to demoralize western democracies.
It would be unwise to ignore the possibility that internal moles have played a role in recent failures.
