Some angsty teen sitting in his bedroom probably isn't going to get lured to the cause of white nationalism by someone screaming "Death to the Jews" on a Youtube video, but someone getting punched in the face simply for voicing their views (and a bunch of people cheering online afterwards) is a much better way to garner sympathy and attract followers.
