I wonder if this phenomenon has more specific name than just "radicalization". "Rule of goats"[1] comes close. [1] https://twitter.com/popehat/status/858722120

  We need another rule for when the ironic goatfuckers have been taken over by actual goatfuckers and the latter are now ironically pretending to be the former.

  Other labels which may be useful are "ha ha only serious" (ironic racism is in and of itself still racism), and "stochastic terrorism", the circulation and planting of propaganda, ideology, and conspiracy theories that leads to mass shootings. The NZ mass shooter and Anders Breivik manifestoes are examples of this. There's an entire nutcase ecosystem out there who cite each other in their murders.
