Whenever any anti-SJW ideology starts to get big, the SJWs find a way to shut it down. They get the Silicon Valley tech companies to pull the plug on the web hosting, or if content is hosted on some other site (WordPress, YouTube, etc.), they get it taken down from there, etc.
Then there's infrastructure like CloudFlare that has stopped doing business with The Daily Stormer and 8chan; only a few people seem to have the resources and know-how to get back on the clearweb and stay there after this type of stuff happens. If you're not getting DDoS'ed yet, to the point where it's hard to stay on the Internet, then you're probably not all that relevant yet. And, if you look at the example of sites like The Pirate Bay, Encyclopedia Dramatica, as well as those above-mentioned, it seems that you have to shuffle around a lot from domain to domain; my experience has been that it's hard to keep the community together with all these moves happening, if you're not a really well-known site.
The way to subvert the system is to create a newsworthy event that forces the media to cover it, or gives them an excuse to cover it (since they're looking for relevance too, and one way they find it is by covering dangerous, hateful killers or would-be killers).
So for example, DyRo's manifesto gets published or at least quoted from in the mass media, and it also gets analyzed by academics, whose work then gets published in journals, and cited as a reliable source on Wikipedia, etc. Basically it gets to a point where your enemy is doing your outreach for you, and making you seem cool and badass to dissidents.
Anyone can create a religion but to really get treated as important and serious enough to be worth paying attention to, you need someone(s) to actually die for the cause (which ideally will include some of the enemy).
Of course, this is going to lead to some crackdowns on guns, but who really cares. Yeah, they can say, "Oh, you can only have 10 rounds in your magazine," but that's still enough to do some damage. And a really serious shooter can probably go to a state with lax gun laws and get his high-capacity magazines there. DyRo bought his weaponry illegally, and so did Seung-Hui Cho.
