I'll never understand the drive to make other people's lives more miserable. We're given only so many years in this planet. Why not enjoy your life and let others enjoy theirs. These people seemingly can't do either of those.

I guess it's a good coping mechanism to not face your own problems. Also you always have something to do and you feel involved.

I do think it gives them a bigger narrative to be a part of. I suspect that's a big draw too. It's just a really shit narrative.

Good point. I think one thing modern world (maybe it was always this way) is kind of lacking providing people with meaning. Sure you are free to search and create your own, which is undoubtfully great. But some people need others people stories to make any sense of that mess we call life.
