Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Conservative media has fully integrated into trying to get mentally unwell people do do their terrorist work like this. Create a mass network of "respected" hyperbolic new stations that touch onto psycho-fascist conspiracy theories and justifications for violence but stop just short of telling people do this stuff. Have these ideas further spread and explicitly stated by "individuals" on the internet: smaller conservative/billionaire funded podcasts, YouTube channels, web forums, FB pages, etc. Keep repeating these points over and over until a person who's not tied to society enough to do it (i.e. the extremely mentally unwell, lonely boomer men whose families have left them, etc.). Use that violence to feed back into the fascist narrative pushed by the initial big news media companies that society is collapsing due to "terrorist violence" that they then claim is left-wing or just blamed specifically on mental health (which also feeds into massive fascist desire to purge anyone with psychological issues) and pretend it's not conserva-fascist at all.
In short, you are a liberal dipshit. This exact scenario has happened dozens of times now.
I think this video about pewdiepie of all things by NonCompete is a pretty good look into stochastic terrorism.
It's about the whole "Subscribe to Pewdiepie" thing and his nazi jokes over the years contributing to the Christchurch mosque shooting
Sure he ought to be at the Nuremburg Trials II: For Real This Time We Are Not Kidding, but I can't bring myself to watch a video about a shooting in the context of a youtuber's "why this other content creator is a psychopath ☝️🤓" documentary
Eh it's not really that. Using his name was more of a clickbait to get more views.
It's just about stochastic terrorism in general.
