Yes, yes...it's really fun to strut around with your chest thrust out. It is not, however, very helpful.

There's a reason why everyone from Nazi Youth to the Red Guard to the Khmer Rouge to Hamas to the Taliban recruit from lost, lonely, stupid young people. Teenage social outcasts are drawn to danger, violence, hierarchical organizations and black-and-white ideologies. You aren't going to scare them off with martyrdom (see Palestine).

No, I'm definitely not saying we should tackle "root causes" - alienated teenagers are a fact of life. But, for goodness sakes let's not glamorize a dumbass lamer into an attractive, exciting outlaw.
