Was reading about Elliot Rodger the sorority killer in California. He is an obvious extreme, but did he did get bolstered and indoctrinated by going to angry/self pitying bulletin boards?
Just the fact that the people as a group at those sites have a world view that limits the discussion of the causes and solutions to their social problems can't be good. Also, sometimes it is helpful to talk to people who are having a good time at life instead of mopers.
I think that forming your world view from social loners is very bad.
People want to be around people that reciprocate at least in a token manner. Does the Pick up Artist community and the extreme MRAs focus on giving people something to like about its members?
Thinking about this a bit longer, when these isolated groups do is portray themselves as victims but also the rest of society as robots that can manipulated if done right.
The real irony is that when you are only concerned about getting screwed over you have no capability to be guilelessly generous or even happy.
