People tend to self-select into groups that mirror their fears and suspicions, and once inside, they can quickly become immersed in a feedback loop that reinforces and intensifies these dysfunctional and anxiety-inducing ways of thinking.

Online environments can quickly amplify paranoid thinking. Both individuals and algorithms in online social networks work together to intensify whatever thoughts and emotions users bring to these platforms. People often search online for answers, ideas, and communities, bringing preconceptions that can lead them to unknowingly self-select into destructive groups.

Once inside, they engage in constant information production—posting group-affirming messages, memes, and ideas that reinforce their belonging while contributing to the ideas of the group and subtly shifting the narrative of the group over time.
