But after listening to several dozen of them speak for hours in these Twitter spaces, I have a pretty good map of the situation.

The first thing I noticed is, among the prominent voices, at least 50% are, for lack of a better term, "feds." I don't mean they literally work for the US government - some may be independent contractors, or they may work for Palantir or Musk - but they constitute a large part of the organizational structure.

The other thing I noticed is that they're competitive. At one point, I heard two prominent voices accuse each other of inciting other groypers on behalf of the government. One would say "you organized that ADL protest" and the other would say "ok but you organized Charlottesville, at least no one got hurt at the ADL protest." That was the actual discussion for about 10 minutes. The guy who led the ADL protest also bragged about being in the Marines and said he joined because his family has a tradition of serving. C'mon

Anyway the main thing they do is fight and throw accusations at each other. They can do this for 12 hours non-stop.

it's literally their entire lives

their hierarchy is based on who is most popular and active in these groupchats, and if you choose not to participate in this status signalling game, they bully and exclude you

if you remain in the groupchats they egg you on to post increasingly extreme loli or gore content or to harass people irl, until eventually your life is ruined, at which point they pretend they never knew you

it seems the entire point of these groupchats is to identify and ruin the lives of naive young conservatives so they cant build careers
