I’m guessing this is mostly rhetorical… But my 2¢: They failed at everything since kindergarten: education, socialisation, relationships, career, finances; everything they’ve tried they failed or they feel like they failed.
They need therapy, but that costs vulnerability and money, and their parents or peers told them it was for the weak. So instead, they get angry, and look around and on the first page of Insta, YouTube, and Facebook they find people like Shapiro, Fuentes, Petersen, Crowder, Southern - all telling them that someone else is to blame, not them, and then pointing at immigrants illegals, blacks inner city youth, and Jews globalists.
So now they’re looking for that someone else to punch down on to soothe their extreme insecurities, shame, and anger at the world (and themselves), but they’re still that doughy, insecure ‘failure’ that they haven’t done anything to change.
When i was around 18, some 20 years ago, there was a town close to where i grew up, and they had a nazi problem. They had a bunch of weirdo neo nazis there and their numbers would grow over time. I hated it, because instead of going out and having a good time, a lot of our weekends were spent beating up neo nazis and making sure they don’t “claim” certain bars and establishments. I kept wondering what their appeal was, and how they even find new people.
Suddenly it was pretty clear, they just accepted everyone with open arms. People who had trouble finding friends, people who didn’t feel like they belonged anywhere, outcasts and misfits. Or just people who are so shitty that they never found friends. That shit made me so sad, because me and my friends were misfits as well. Just a bunch of nerds who found each other through music and smoking weed and being weirdos.
From what i gathered later on, like 90% of them grew out of it and lived a normal life. Some of them have to live with the shame of having a swastika tattoo or a Hitler bust somewhere on their body. And some of them just die on the hill of being neo nazi scumbags.
Thanks for your story. I’m a misfit nerd also, so it resonates with me.
I’m sure its something we can fix at large scale with government-funded mental health care, social programs, funding for community centers, and integrating mental health and social science studies into education, amongst many possible solutions that would get us to a society where everyone can find somewhere to fit in, and everyone has better options than the snake-oil salesmen when they seek help or are angry at a personal situation.
Unfortunately we presently live in the era of the techofeudalists, and eyeballs on ads and keeping users consuming are pretty much all they care about - not only do they not care if the media they promote and put ads alongside happens to be divisive alt-right hate media, they also benefit from the conservative (anti-regulation, small government, anti-tax) parties being pushed to power by these groups. It’s a frustrating feedback loop that we need to break free of, and governments worldwide seem ill-prepared to broach it.
Ugh. For context, I’m currently trying to steer a younger family member out of the alt-right pipeline and angry about how hard it is to beat constant access to thousands of videos / talking points pushed into their feed daily, with the couple hours I see them a week to attempt to ‘deprogram’ them… without trying to come across preachy or put them off learning alternative viewpoints (evidence-based reality). Its a struggle.
Humans generally are genetically programmed to be in groups (social, cultural etc…).
These individuals usually have lower IQ than average or at the bottom margin of the average, they are also open to suggestions and lack proper understating how the real world and human relationships work due to their environment(family&social). So, they are easier to be recruited by other idiots whom they think are cool people.
Why are there so many dough-boy toddler Nazis?
