The contemporary far-right consists mainly of this type of person - someone who works a normal job, but who is extremely bored of his life to the point where inflicting structural damage to the "system" becomes the only buzz you get out of living. A pitiful existence.

I know the material reasons for the rise of fascism. I also think another reason - which doesn’t get talked about as much because it’s embarrassing that humans can be that naive - is that when you are financially comfortable but bored, abstract cruelty can give you a sense of purpose.
