    Depends entirely on why they are falling into the rabbit hole. If it’s just social isolation go and try and drag them out of it. If they are being an edgy chuuni, then it’s just a phase but you don’t want them making friends with just far right weirdos because it makes it harder to walk back. It could be they are just rejecting liberalism but don’t have a solid working of theory.

    One common trend I’ve seen is a lot of the far right identifies the problems in our current society which mainstream liberalism just ignores or tries to manufacture enough disinformation that the problem is actually a good thing. If someone is going hungry because a few billionaires lobbied for better subsidies, comparative advantage doesn’t mean shit and the complete lack of social safety net that is learn to code isn’t going to address this. Fascists correctly identify this problem and provide their own narrative and a final solution to dealing with it. It makes them appealing to anyone rejecting liberalism when your only alternative is rad libs and upper class libs larping as Maoists and having post colonial gender critical struggle sessions to purge their guilt.
