I'm pretty sure political extremism works the same way.

I have friends from high school who fell into the alt-right rabbit hole. They are obsessed with transgenderism. If you believe their depressing timelines, trans people are absolutely everywhere, behaving like total degenerates and grooming kids left and right. They send me an unhealthy amount of videos to prove their claims.

Meanwhile in the real world, I've encountered maybe 5 trans people that I recognized as such, and they were behaving normally, and not one tried to groom my kids! But if I tell them that they dismiss it on account of my woke mind virus / Trump derangement syndrome. They're single, don't have kids, and spend most of their time doomscrolling or watching the French version of Fox News, but they know better than me what's going on in my kids' school...

As time goes on I’ve noticed more and more of it is just projection.

Terminally online people who want to feel special about knowing something that other people don’t. And they have to tell everyone around them how they are special by sharing their degenerate ideas all the time. Honestly, the incels are less damaging.
