In the past without online communities, no one is there to egg them on. Most people around them will just see them as crazy and ignore them. Slowly their radical beliefs peter out and that’s the end of it.

I utterly hate the cult of personality around him. It makes any kind of discussion impossible. Look at the person you relied to, his post is already grey. The guy is kind of a wanker: https://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love&#x2

Guess this is one of the inefficiencies of China. The central government has to spend resources / outright kneecap regions to keep them under their thumb. Their mandate to rule seem wholly dependent on wealth.
