How do nice people end up in a militia, or attacking peaceful protestors? How does someone go from Youtube viewer to violent agitator? So many of us may be asking these same questions. Leading academics are grappling with them, but right now, the ivory tower isn’t what we need. Glitterpill believes these are grassroots problems with community solutions. The Glitterpill community wants to give every day people the tools they need to help their friends, family, and coworkers from falling down a dangerous rabbit hole. As much as social media can be a treacherous landscape of fake news and echo chambers, Glitterpill believes it also has the potential to revive healthy debate and foster powerful transformational discussions. In Glitterpill you will receive important data, analyzed by a professional researcher and trained academic in the field of countering violent extremism so that you can stay up to date without the fatigue of parsing through each and every piece of news yourself.
