I just stumbled on this in my YouTube recommendations and found it quite interesting.

The presenter interviews a man who lived in close contact with many
people in the UK who ended up answering the call of ISIS to come to
Syria to fight for their caliphate. He debunks the main claims made by
those who attempted to explain why people would join ISIS, specifically
that the volunteers were poor, deprived or particularly traumatized.
It turns out that the people who went to fight ISIS were mostly middle
class people who had every reason to expect a successful life in
Britain. Most of them were motivated by the opportunity to be part of
something bigger than themselves.
