Then you've never known true depression or alienation. People will grasp at any straw they see.
Bullshit. I grew up on a diet of depression and alienation. At no point was I ever tempted to worship a bully.
I watched my classmates with their toxic social hierarchy game, where people only rose in stature by stepping on others, and decided early on that I didn't want to play. It's better to be alone than be part of... that.
Sorry, I forgot you're the prototype all humanity is identical to. My bad!
There are other straws.
while alt-right influencers definitely prey on the systemic alienation of our society i think lack of education and propaganda also play a huge role
