Before internet:
> I want to be a nazi
> My father fucking beats me up
> Go back to normal
After internet:
> I want to be a nazi
> I find a community that validates me
> I make content to radicalize "normies" through concerns about "forced diversity"
> I make them vote against their class interest
> Why the fuck is everything so expensive now?

I’m surprised they adapted to the internet earlier, I was around for the internet of the early oughts and much of my experience was that of being disabused of the ideas of my conservative/nationalist upbringing.
That, plus the general issue of authoritarianism and lack of short-term solutions, which is also true to other forms of more authoriative leftists, like those who think issues caused by callout culture on those who are not children’s authors gone TERF will be solved once we have UBI.

There’s a secret reason why this works for Nazis and not commies:

Basically the left was way more disorganized, and has a tankie problem, that turns people away from left-wing activism.
I don’t see why tankies turn people away more than Nazis. Do you think it’s that Tankies don’t bother with hiding their power level?
