Rings a bell.
But then can anyone ever really remember which Adam Curtis doc is which, or even if they actually saw it or just dreamt it.
I was also thinking wider - ie in terms of the policy response of the dominant powers or calls for action by media. Haven't yet heard calls for moderate conservatives to apologise on behalf of these extremists and take steps to tackle the issues in their communities.

Well, there's this guy, calling on his fellow GOP congressfolk to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions and face the truth, but I doubt many of his colleagues are going to listen. As for the conservative media pundits, not a chance.

Yeah I agree there are parallels
Have you seen the Adam Curtis Documentary “the power of nightmares”
It draws that direct comparison even drilling down on the architects of Neo-Conservatism and Islamic Extremism to the same event at the same college. (If I remember rightly)
But yeah both sides are fuelled by misinformation and hold patriarchal fascist beliefs
