What the Internet is enabling is folie a deux at scale.
Folie a deux is a term that basically means when you have multiple people with mental illness living together, such as a husband and wife with schizophrenia, and they reinforce each other’s delusions.
The Incels and Qanon are only two of a great many examples of Internet based cults and mental illness reinforcing echo chambers. Get used to it. I don’t think it’s going away.
