Each student in my college level linguistics course becomes the class expert on a particular hate group. The student researches the group thoroughly and analyzes their messages and tactics. Drawing on theories of persuasion and concepts from their study of General Semantics, and referencing two videos: Faces of the Enemy by Sam Keen and Hate.com, they develop a keen understanding of how each group is able to create and sustain the idea of an other or an enemy, how they recruit and retain members, and how they spread their message.
