But I'm not terrified by things that happen online. Least of all videos of events in the past.
And, to be honest, I've seen plenty of NSFW videos.
Let's not kid ourselves. Terrorism has pretty much nothing to do with videos. Radicalization has more to do with the social realities faced on the ground, day after day, as we live our lives. Alienation and the misery of slums, and hopelessness of monotony without progress, are what lead to terror.
The true effects of propaganda are over-stated and over-imagined.
- jjoonathan 9y agoYes, but that's a less useful story for the people and organizations built on gathering ever more power, so the alternative will be repeated until it sticks. Given the number of people in this thread who take the official narrative at face value, it looks like it's working.
