      It's insane. I sometimes think every local subreddit is AstroTurfed by the John Broch Society, but it's prob more likely that reactionary folks are drawn to post. There's something about the reactionary mind that needs to scream their insecurities into the void. Irrational and fear based thinking manifesting in posting must be tied to a fear of insignificance and the world not caring about bad things happening to these people. Like they can't fathom bad things happing to them, even though they see bad things happening to others every day.

        It's probably this. It's similar to how every local crime story has (or at least used to have) hundreds of sunglass-goatee guys frothing out the mouth and talking about what they'd do to the guy.
