    The authors are not qualified to speak on this professionally seeing their degrees and expertise is in tech and computer science, not political science or philosophy.

      Yes, this is also a point. They still attempt to speak on this topic, because the write, that this paper is a “data-driven understanding” of “left-wing extremism”. Absolute stupid
