what is it about ruthless authoritarian regimes that attracts

Extremist ideologies in general attract outcasts because
1) They have more time to learn about and consider such ideologies
2) They have little connection to the society in which they live or possibly even dislike it
3) They're already a bit unhinged because they can't make friends in a fucking constitutional republic, aka EZ mode for the proletariat

Because they are oppresed by conspiring evil-people (Bourgeiose, Jews, Glebalists, Marxist culturalists etc.). Those regime would put evil to its place and our anon would be given the respect he deserves and authority will give him purpose, thus removing his burden of freedom.

this but also it gives them a reason to affirm their superiority to the people who have shunned them
