- tamana 10y agoThe difference is that grassroots movement members support their leaders, and warlord groups like ISIS don't have popular support, they only have terror control of the populace
- grandalf 10y ago> they only have terror control of the populace Are you sure about that? Most government-like institutions do some combination of threats of force and useful services. Hamas provides food and shelter for many. Once a government-like institution gets powerful enough, it can reduce the amount of criminal/unsavory action it engages in, and create propaganda to help with its legitimacy narrative.
