The emergence of groups like this is due to three reasons:

1. The internet

2. The misinformation, sensationalism, and emotional manipulation in the groups themselves

3. A massive gap/amount of disinformation in mainstream media/lexicon/knowledge base

People are massively overestimating number 2, and massively underestimating number three. The general populace is not as stupid as people and the media like to think, it’s blatantly clear that there’s more to what’s going on than is encapsulated in the current public narrative.

Bring it up at work and see how well that goes. Also I can’t really point to discussion on it, almost all of it is deleted on platforms like Reddit

When I watched a world class software engineer build a real time data processing platform using only functional programming.

At a major company, over ten teams were automated in a year.

Beautiful and useful abstractions around data and data processing tasks that provided extreme value.

I could never replicate it, but it reminded me about the power of software and the extreme ability that some have to weird it.
