The two ideas are intermingled: there is the degree to which the far right exploits Stochastic Terror, and then there is the degree to which people believe that the far right exploits Stochastic Terror.
There are also many other related ideas, like to what degree is each of us guilty for contributing (via action, or inaction) to the suboptimality that exists in the world, to what degree are people capable of considering such ideas, etc.
Humans are a very curious species - so much potential, but so much hubris, delusion, and folly. What will they get up to next with their fairy-tale-based culture???!!
