its deeper than that and has been a trend for several years. the rise of social media and other online platforms, just as they have given rise to the alt-right among conservatives, have given rise to the equivalent in anarchist circles. the edgelord shit posting of pushing contrarian ideology ie: pederasty, quasi-racism, anti-antifascist, anti-mask, etc. in the guise of individualism or egoism . the more extreme the argument, the more attention given to the mostly anonymous trolls giving them their online dopamine hit. anyone who disagrees is a 'liberal' the worst insult you can give to an anarchist, so more and more insecure anon online affirmation seeking edgelords are recruited. its only online idiocy, but it can and does creep into the real world as evidenced right now by the alt-right ascendancy.
