So they are LARPers? I mean what a bunch of shitheads, but what a shit society to join. Why would any of them individually want to associate with any of the others? Surely they look around and think "What a pathetic bunch of losers!"
No, they are not Live-Action Role Players (well, not primarily). They are violent chauvinists with large amounts of funding and increasing connection with the electoral right-wing, intentionally organising to harm whoever they consider to be undesirable (non-Europeans, progressives, etc.). They're pathetic outcasts, you're absolutely right, but they cannot be trivialised as just roleplaying.
Many of them are recruited by the NSN targeting vulnerable, alienated young men. They have even been discovered trying to get jobs in the NDIS with the open intention of working only with young men diagnosed with autism.
