A thought I always have on the way to things like this some of their support is the one thing that makes me sympathetic to the "confused conspiracist" narrative—the idea a lot of these people correctly assess there's something wrong in our society but fail to draw coherent conclusions about what.

In the broad strokes, I generally disagree with it and put it in roughly the same bin as an over-reliance on radicalization narratives, but I DO think a nonzero amount of the vague, incoherent, and atavistic urge towards a libertarianism to "recover" society fits in with that model.

There's also a severe problem with loneliness and isolation. That really struck me when I read some articles about Qanon, and even more so with that recent piece on the "medbed" conspiracy theory/scam.
