    People were always able to organize around reactionary causes.

    Yours is a bad take because it ignores the speed, efficiency, and ease of organizing, sometimes world-wide, that modern technology grants to such groups.

    Claiming it was always absolutely 100% the same ever and ever, regardless of material conditions, is a thought terminating cliche.

      The point is that those people would not be hermits isolated from the society. They'd be organizing in their local chapters of KKK or NSDAP. Laura Loomer is not your average frothing chud who got radicalized.

        My point is they would still have significantly limited and localized reach and would have to operate and function as semi-autonomous cells instead of a larger networked whole.

          Also true of communists, however. You'd effectively be abandoning comrades in rural America or anywhere in the South.

            The internet has accelerated organizing among every political group. I'm ok with Loomer types getting exposed in return for having places like Hexbear stalin-heart

            My point, again, is that conditions do change.
