...and other unpopular groups and tastes; it’s because we, along with others that fit our profile, have been pushed out of our safe zones.
If you think about it misfits follow what hipsters do when something becomes popular or gentrified - we get the fuck out. The standard safe zones for us 15 odd years ago were video games coupled with nebulously anti-establishment ideas. There was no nerd shaming and no social crusade against us and as such, we were relatively moderate and off the radar.
Fast forward to today and both of those things have been corrupted by people with a social engineering agenda who have either diluted the medium for the mainstream (video games / comics / etc) or have painted anyone not on board with a hard-left view as some kind of inhuman oppressor.
Needless to say, people don’t stick around things that they do not relate to or that have similar people who they can form a community and as such, some have latched to the extremes were regular society will not pollute and gentrified, such as the alt-right. I’m willing to bet a lot of people who jumped aboard only wanted a safe haven from regular society who views them as the scum of the Earth and as such, they’ve been literally forced unto extremes.
Now I’m not alt-right myself but I find myself having to side with these people on the internet because normals have such seething distaste for outcasts that they’ve become almost completely unrelatable to me.
