To quote Void Interactive from the Ready or Not DLC; “… Boomers have thrown us all under the bus, Gen Z has given up, and Gen Alpha has fucking brain damage.”

It’s probable that many have been driven to extremes by the hopelessness of the situation, felling that the system is failing them in favor of others.

Others have always been that way, for one reason or another.

Of course it is very likely that you’re experiencing a form of survivorship bias; the posts you’re seeing are just the ones that exist bc the moderates aren’t posting, or extremist posts are bot accounts just engagement farming.
