That's exactly the reason. When push comes to shove, these are the people that will be willingly used for fodder on the front lines.
Knowledge Fight takes a critical look at Alex Jones(I put this in every post I make about him because I can't stand to listen to AJ direct, and I don't want people thinking I do). Anyway, he goes out to break quite often shouting stuff like THEYRE COMING FOR YOU, THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU, THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU!!! after having discussed the "demonic antifa/BLM/democrats coming to your houses."
Obviously not everyone is as sensationalist as Alex Jones, but he's been bragging about how other places have started sounding like him. Including Joe Rogan (probably more on Vax and stuff like that, but still)
Alex thinks he is fighting the literal christian devil. Like there is no way to deal with that other than violence.
Also hello fellow wonk
No he doesn't, he's a con man who frightens people to get donations and to sell survival scams. His listeners might believe that but he's there when he makes some of that shit up himself and just uses the improv "yes, and" for other crazy shit he sees or listeners/viewers call on with (assuming they aren't just actors saying what he's told them to).
I wonder how many vatniks went to the front line eager to kill some ukranians and then collect the medals and go home.
