      I agree generally- but I also personally know people who were in some ways inspired to violence by media.

        Yes, some social media groups or propaganda productions ABSOLUTELY DO incite violence in people. I’m talking about violent videogames like FPSes, not deliberate propaganda.

        Sorry if this double posts, my internet cut out in the middle of hitting reply and I’m trying again.

            I suppose it would depend on the media. It’s a lot easier to insert effective alt-right political messages into films than into a game where you just shoot things and barely pay attention to the plot.
