it's so weird, right? you'd assume that the landlord has seen the mother and child before...and after the whole israel-palestine conflict, he just suddenly becomes violent towards them? the propaganda he watches must be super unhinged
From the local news reporting he was very friendly to them previously:
The nonstop propaganda about Muslims as dangerous subhuman animals can turn a normal friendly relationship into a targeted and cold-blooded murder.
Maybe in previous covid years he suffered a stroke or something else that made him rapidly go demented. There was no talk about Palestine\Israel before the music fest terror. It's too short of a window for that change otherwise.
There has been more than enough ongoing anti-Muslim propaganda in conservative media to prime people to just need a single horrific act and the terminology escalation that follows to push them over the edge.
We can speculate about mental deterioration or whatever, but that just makes people more susceptible to the propaganda. Without flooding the airwaves about the inhumanity and danger of Muslims there isn't the trigger to go get those specific people.
You are right. It's wrong and intense. If you turn off your filters, you'd get insane real quick. What's probably happened there.
I'm just guessing about this surprising and fast switch and a couple of my coworkers got exactly that with their elderly in a recent couple of years. A degradation from regular adults to not knowing how to brush their teeth and reacting to any annoyance like a baby in an adult body.
You pointing this out is important because not all of us have a learnt adblock and many people, especially children, are endangered by this shit.
