The man told jurors he spent hours listening to far-right podcasts before breaking into the Pelosi home and attacking the then-Speaker’s husband with a hammer.

I guess this fear media is like a drug. Makes people go cyber psycho.
I remember when it was dungeons and dragons that was making people eat babies and stuff.
Yeps I remember the tail end of that. Being warned that I would disappear into steam tunnels from playing dungeons and dragons. Just about everything was Satanic. Men wearing an earring, a bandanna used as a sweatband, Halloween, cans of pop ring necklaces...
Yes kids the theists were always like this.
This is not comparable at all. Radicalisation through the media you consume is a known and proven phenomenon. None of the comics, d&d, heavy metal makes you satanic and violent claims have ever been proven.
I wasn't really comparing, more reminiscing.
Ahh, those were the days😋
"cyber psycho" really sounds like straight from a cyberpunk apocalyptic scenario
It kind of is. It’s from the game Cyberpunk. Less apocalyptic, more dystopian.
