This could be a manifestation of one of the finer points of Reed's
Law, namely that the worth (and effect) of the network is not how
many nodes are attached to it, but how many different groups can form
within it.

In this case, the 'network' is general anti-whoever-has-the-power
sentiment, but apparently it does not promote inter-group connections.

Perhaps the fundamental problem with this network concept is that it's
anti-something, as there are many possible ways how that something can
be fixed.

Networks based on for-simple-something tend to be more cohesive, for
example capital and money: those who are for money will find ways to
cooperate regardless of the initial group affiliations.

The point being, these nodes need to figure out what the f*ck are they
for.
