    Arguably analyzing such profiles would likely show that nearly all nowadays are at least in part radicalized via social media. Turns out if you rattle millions of grenades a few explode.

                Carlson spoke in favor of Putin. He said white supremacy isn’t a real problem. He said that Democrats are replacing white people. He said the election was stolen. Carlson called women “extremely primitive” and “basic.” “They hate weakness. They’re like dogs that way,”

                This aren’t just hot air they are the fantasies on which mass murder is based.

                  You are paraphrasing 10 years+ of a political talk show, of course some controversial shit has been said over the years. None of those things are that bad, but to a terminally online leftist I guess he’s literally hitler.

                  This aren’t just hot air they are the fantasies on which mass murder is based.

                  Quite the stretch.

                    We have had multiple mass murderers cite the great replacement theory as their cause and many Republicans calling for civil war based on the election lies. People are already dead because of these conspiracy theories.
