Don't forget that organizations like Stormfront give people purpose, something people often struggle to find in places like Montana.

We all want to be part of something bigger. Some turn to open source, contribute to the community. Others build wild conspiracy theories and focus their energies in that.

I'm not sure what this means?

Suburban or rural communities more specifically where finding people to collaborate on projects can be harder, especially for things that are more of a niche interest.

In a place like New York City where literally everything is going on, you can throw a rock and hit something interesting. In rural Montana your options are severely limited, and if you're not happy with the local offering, or what you can sponge off the internet, you're going to be pretty lonely.
