Pyramid of Far-Right Radicalization

The Pyramid of Far-Right Radicalization Based on the model by McCauley & Moskalenko Smaller Size of Group + Increased Level of Extremism 4 3 2 1 United Patriots Blood & Honour Daily Stormer AIM NPI American Renaissance MAGA / Make America Great Again Breitbart PB Patriot Prayer III% InfoWars Come and Take It PragerU Turning Point USA Quillette American Conservative Foundation National Rifle Association CBN Fox News Channel The Heritage Foundation JBS Tea Party

The image shows a four-level pyramid of far-right organizations and communities, with large mainstream conservative institutions at the bottom and a small group of extremist or neo-Nazi groups at the top. The joke is presented as a serious-looking radicalization chart: as the group becomes smaller, the level of extremism increases, suggesting a progression from mainstream conservatism toward violent or openly fascist ideology. The anime girls at the peak add an absurd visual punchline, implying that even an extremely niche extremist endpoint can be represented by an unlikely fandom image.
