disaffected young men lacking strong in-person relationships doomed to a life of desperation due to lack of opportunity united online in praise of cartoon frogs and white supremacist fascism.
History books are gonna be weird.

- DiNovi 9y agoYes, voiceless minority groups can be more easily targeted and taken advantage of. I read just yesterday about Somali immigrants being turned anti-vax in a matter of years due to outside influence, this is no different.
- tajen 9y agoI love your description because each word designates both problems and solutions. History books will go further and further: "WWI was triggered by an assassination in Sarajevo", "WWII was born in the black Thursday", and the next events "find their source in the solitude of some men with a computer, and we couldn't solve that. Solitude kills, after all.". Assuming the next event is related to alt-rights, of course.
