Abstract
Ideological groups use social media to articulate their ideology and occasionally promote acts of violence. An examination of violent and non-violent ideological group rhetoric in Twitter revealed that while violent actors justify the group’s stances and emphasize differences with outgroups, non-violent actors focused on group agency and future possibilities.
