In "Blood At The Root" by Peter Robinson, the author explores the complex motivations behind the actions of youth drawn into extremist ideologies. Nev plays a significant role in this dynamic by channeling their anger and directing it toward tangible targets. By providing them with a focus for their rage, he creates a sense of purpose that leads them to believe their crimes, such as theft and vandalism, are justified acts for a noble cause. This manipulation taps into their need for belonging and a misguided sense of patriotism, encouraging them to embrace outdated ideals about a 'true English homeland.' By intertwining these beliefs with environmental concerns, they perceive themselves as responsible defenders of their nation, further reinforcing their misguided sense of virtue and responsibility.
