Yeah I feel that reactionary thought falls into magical thinking more often (being a prerequisite for deliberately ignoring the systemic issues of capital), though the left can also be vulnerable to it (LaRouche and Rouchites, Jim Jones can also be seen as a pseudo example). Still this is a big issue of macroscale versus micro and how it is commonly accurate to apply outcomes to systems (i.e. capitalism makes things pretty shit y'all) and is not creating a conspiracy, versus having psyop as your go to in a diatribe to explain how an individual is not connected to your political ideologue because "insert weird as shit series of events". Also I hate using occam's razor but I feel it is a good tool to also ask a simple question "what's the benefit for this psyop versus this just being another radicalized violent young guy among a string of radicalized violent young men?"
