right. what happens instead is that really isolated and alienated people (e.g. incels) expend minimum effort and get an in-group that is really shitty and bad for them. they'll take a shitty, harmful in-group over no in-group because the pain of total isolation is that severe.

I don't think that an effective intervention is doable, at least without magic Culture Minds powers, and am not even very convinced it is desirable.

I am, however, pretty sure that incels (and other exotic pathological sociopolitical groups) are not a product of society not providing them with some kind of better scaffold or whatever. If anything, I suspect society not messing with them too much is why they're mostly harmless
