Sure, but that influence has not exactly been positive. That's the catch I think. It's much easier to exert negative influence than positive influence.

Influence is just a tool to effect change upon people at scale.
It’s a tool, it can be used for good or evil. I’ll leave the subjective analysis to others but I think tools are rare just good or bad.

It’s not that simple. Tribalism is easy and most considered a net negative. Tribalism is easy to sell because it’s ingrained in humans. That’s what 4chan does, pick the lowest hanging fruit.

Imagine living a primitive life in a cave or the woods, you eat berries and kill small animals and cook by a campfire.
Do you really think joining up with other primitive humans in a small tribe would be a negative experience on your life?
Friends and allies would be helpful.
Tribalism is an essential human social method that got humanity to this point!
