> You can't imagine any situation where the people are seeing this for themselves? I am not sure you understand how this works. If you are bombarded with a barrage of fear-mongering content then overtime you are conditioned to interpret even very mundane and innocuous events as being danger signals. Such as LGBT individuals being a threat when going to the toilet or the mere existence of immigrants from specific parts of the world being a threat to your neighborhood's pets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right_pipeline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right_pipeline > It must be that they're brainwashed by conservative media? It amazes me how you somehow believe in imaginary threats posed by, say, the presence of minorities, but yet you fail to understand that yes there is indeed a massive propaganda effort to radicalize you and people like you. And this threat doesn't necessarily come from "conservative" media. For decades you have state actors deeply invested in destabilizing your society and causing civil unrest to the point they overtly state their intentions and strategy in the open. Furthermore, these same state actors are also directly engaged in subversive campaigns such as fueling mass migration flows in the Mediterranean https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35706238 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35706238 But oddly enough that doesn't register as a concern.
