This study examines the posting behavioral patterns of both violent and non-violent right-wing extremists (RWEs) within a sub forum of the largest white supremacy web-forum, Stormfront, in general, and whether there are differences in each user types’ radical posting behavior over time, which may contribute to their collective identity formation in particular. This study represents an original contribution to the academic literature on violent online political extremism on three key fronts.
