It's effective because the far right posts controversial memes in the classic salt troll feedback loop.

1) post controversial or intentionally inflammatory meme
2) people react attacking the poster and reinforce the belief while simultaneously increasing the size of the audience consuming the meme
3) stage gets larger and joining the counterculture side is more attractive (and easier because there are more participants) to those who harbor resentment and outcasts craving control
4) then they start posting memes and the cycle repeats

a much simpler summary is this: the "far right" is now the counter culture and the left won't admit this, let alone figure out why
