Yes. Antikayfabe can hurt others a lot more than yourself when the make-believe is around something like fascism. Pizzagate, synagogue shooter etc. All antikayfabe. They didn’t get the memo that it was wink-nudge theater.

Not 100% sure this's what you mean but I find some sociopolitical events to be a performative act intended to reinforce a common platform amongst in-tribe members, & manufacture a validity propagated like a meme onto others who may agree but perhaps not quite so vehemently.

It is a radiating effect that draws physically or politically-close people closer to acceptance of core platform, even if all aspects aren't accepted. Performances sidestep defensive wireframes that root status quo. Repetition draws the core closer, and pushes out the perimeter.

I think using kayfabe in this context is unhelpful. Kayfabe is dumb or playful or something, but basically neutral. I see this as social signaling to acquire status, so rather different dynamics. 1/
