11. Basically, yes. The good news is that the third type feels like a fad that will burn itself out in time. The bad news is, history is full of fads with horrendous body counts.

This is what concerns me. The Klan or ISIS (for instance) are identifiable groups, even when diffuse, and thereby trackable. But randomly-distributed jerkoffs on a message board, that’s something of a different story.
