Josh Roose, Associate Professor of #Politics at Deakin's Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation, has commented in an article about the recent terror attack in New Orleans and said more needed to be done to reach young men, and the economy was a major issue. “Men aren’t having discussions at universities and developing liberal frameworks (like women tend to), they're getting online, getting immersed in ‘bro’ culture, Joe Rogan, UFC and the Dana White effect, that prioritises physical aggression,” he said. Associate Professor Josh R. said these themes would be “indicative of the many forms of new #extremism we are going to see going forward”.
