The emergence of groups like this is due to three reasons:
1. The internet
2. The misinformation, sensationalism, and emotional manipulation in the groups themselves
3. A massive gap/amount of disinformation in mainstream media/lexicon/knowledge base
People are massively overestimating number 2, and massively underestimating number three. The general populace is not as stupid as people and the media like to think, it’s blatantly clear that there’s more to what’s going on than is encapsulated in the current public narrative.
