This is well-depicted in the movie "Syriana". One of the characters and his uncle are working for the oil industry in such circumstances. Spoiler alert: the nephew becomes and extremist/terrorist, showing how easy it is for a young person with no options and in such circumstances to be so persuaded.
- ficklepickle 6y agoYou are dangerously close to empathizing with terrorists, citizen. How dare you try and understand them. We have always been at war with terrorism. This incidence of extremism has been added to your social credit report. /s
- mellosouls 6y agoThat's a terrific film, but a bit misleading in its central message; many of the most infamous terrorists and extremists in the real world (bin Laden an example) seem to have middle-class/privileged backgrounds.
- fakedang 6y agoActually I think it was really good at showing exactly that. The young Pakistani guy was just a pawn in the game controlled by somebody way above, whom we don't even see in the movie. His immediate superior in the militant ranks, the Arab, looks clearly more educated than he is. That is exactly how these terrorist organizations are structured.
