   @dartigen @benhamill There's a temporary marriage of convenience between:

   * 'I hate society burn it all down' (4chan)
   * 'find and amplify anyone who's causing trouble inside the UK / USA' (RU)
   * 'we must make Americans scared of liberals to preserve capitalism' (Fox/Breitbart)
   * 'we need anyone who's engaged to vote, and the alt-right are young and engaged' (GOP)
   * 'angry means clicks, and we need clicks' (social media)
