Agreed. It's worth noting how guns remain lethal without any coherent theory, and memes can reflect a type of mob mentality whipping up certain trigger happy people into a frenzy. All the more scarier, chaos without reason nor rhyme. Most mass shooters/murderers/car rampage didn't write a single tome of theory. A lot of the recent ones were channers and memers though.

Speaking of everyone broadly now, it's also interesting to note how anarchists are often disqualified for flaws which are part of the wider mainstream culture and values, namely racism and sexism, sometimes rightly so, sometimes also identity politics and cancel culture politicking. During these protests anarchists have been tried to be characterized from the outside as "white outside agitators".

Now if anarchist face those issues of legitimacy in the face of public opinion, despite being way politically correct, and even as a result of understanding of systemic issues and striving for liberation, not as superficial cordiality, imagine how would collaborating with these groups that are labeled from the outside as "outright white supremacists and fascists" fare for them. Both characterizations have their doses of truth, but the point is that in this moment of peak ANTIFA it's unlikely to see wide adoption of overt collaboration of open anarchists with those groups.

On the other hand, there are many alienated youth which, like you implied, are only loosely congregated around memes and vague grievances and desires to lash out. They may flirt with whatever seems extreme or edgy or badass to them, but hold no deep convictions, or affiliations or theoretical coherence one way or another. In moments of riots and turmoil, you'll see some of them (most will not do anything) show up on the streets and do "their thing", without any larger pretension or goals.

Populist and big tent activist groups, organizations, and parties (left and right) will try to reel them in, or collaborate with them. It seems that THE PEOPLE (who will put a ruler to the gullotine to elect another just like him, or disband a police for to become it or replace it with militias) very civilized, armed and dangerous are as much a threat to itself, as it is to the State, as it is to anarchists. Honestly this is just a trending topic to get people talking of things as if they're new.

A new element is people are now carrying automatic rifles with red dots, have drones and the internet, and memes etc (not muzzle loading muskets and pitchforks, though those are still around). This has some changes on how things play out. I've bored myself, I apologize for boring you too.
