The obvious solution is Squid Game. Just on a larger scale.

Actually I think it's perfectly fine to decide that radical individuals like Choudary and extreme groups like National Action - both on record as supporting murder - the latter of politicians (and both spreading the kind of ideas that are a causal factor in their deaths) are what people should be most concerned about. We should cauterise roads leading to these outcomes.

Well yes of course that's the ideal, but as we have seen we cannot always rely on people to scrutinise and manage their own behaviour. Nobody becoming radicalised realises that is happening to them. I think deep down, as we're sensible individuals, we believe that on some level they must realise what has happened to their thinking.

The disturbing reality is that they don't.

Nevermind that the average Choudary supporter or National Action adherent justifies murder of politicians (which is disturbing enough) we also have to consider that at the very end point, a person like this is throwing away his entire life even if he doesn't care about the life he's taking. He is literally adamant that he's in the right and that his act of inhumanity is somehow justified.

As I said before, the Internet has a lot to answer for in this regard. It's crack for the emotionally damaged and those who are easily led by people they are essentially being manipulated by.

Yes, which is why thankfully he was previously imprisoned. Freedom of speech, when abused to the point that it is used to malignantly corrupt minds and encourage actual harm, has limits.

Unfortunately due to the nature of the Internet, his sermons and words live on anyway. That and unbelievably his public speaking ban has been lifted now [Link] . These people grooming loners, oddballs and the angry alike know how to walk a rightrope, and so are difficult for the security services to deal with.

It's made worse in scenarios where the police are seen as the enemy, as authorities may then lack information they would've otherwise been aware of.

The point is that you think Choudary is responsible for his own actions, but those below him in his terrorist hierachy are not. You say they have all been 'radicalised'. Was Choudary radicalised? Was whoever radicalised him responsible for their own actions?
