This study analyzes propaganda from the Terrorgram Collective, a decentralized far-right network of Telegram channels and users that promote violent accelerationism. Drawing from three key Terrorgram publications disseminated between 2021 and 2023, 393 instances of threatening communication have been extracted and analyzed. The threats are categorized along four analytical dimensions: type (general violence vs. specific plans), mode of communication (direct, indirect, veiled), target type (soft vs. hard), and target group. The analysis suggests that threats in Terrorgram publications are mainly directed at soft targets—i.e., individuals and minority communities—and primarily communicated through veiled or indirect language. Moreover, threatening communication in Terrorgram publications frequently includes operational guidance designed to encourage lone-actor violence.

摘要

This study analyzes propaganda from the Terrorgram Collective, a decentralized far-right network of Telegram channels and users that promote violent accelerationism. Drawing from three key Terrorgram publications disseminated between 2021 and 2023, 393 instances of threatening communication have been extracted and analyzed. The threats are categorized along four analytical dimensions: type (general violence vs. specific plans), mode of communication (direct, indirect, veiled), target type (soft vs. hard), and target group. The analysis suggests that threats in Terrorgram publications are mainly directed at soft targets—i.e., individuals and minority communities—and primarily communicated through veiled or indirect language. Moreover, threatening communication in Terrorgram publications frequently includes operational guidance designed to encourage lone-actor violence.
