IMO it's less of a political movement and more of a cult. These people are being completely misled by others, in a way they're victims.
It's one thing to feel the world should be a certain way. It's another to think there's some magic phrase you can put on your car's bumper to be immune from prosecution, but no one else knows the secret.
I think it also feeds their need to feel special. They are in the super secret club that knows the passwords and all these stupid sheeple are getting played.
It does seem that way now. It was political at first. But economic downturns and the internet seem likely reasons behind why it's spreading. Desperate people doing desperate things. While being led by crazy people.
