This terrorist prick is in lots of ways your average meme-loving, 4chan quoting MAGA shithead. In the video he was literally saying "Subscribe to Pewdiepie" and his dumbass "manifesto" had a Navy Seal copy/paste meme I've seen on Reddit .
This piece of shit is an Internet basement dweller who's been eating up far-right talk. He got radicalized in much the same way ISIS brides and foreign fighters have, over the Internet.
PS: For those who don't know, Pewdiepie is a Youtube celebrity who in the past has run "pranks" like paying random Indian guys on Fiverr to hold up signs that say "Death to Jews". For the lulz of course. Everyone knows that Youtuber fans are mature, well-adjusted individuals who can separate 'satire' from reality.
Sadly, this is true.
These guys feed on YouTube/Internet's extremist propaganda. And, form a distorted sense of reality.
I remember a time when people were tolerant. Social co-existence was a thing. But since every idiot out there starting having access to social media, they've come out in hordes. It's also understandable as it's difficult to be racist on the face, one-on-one, as opposed to being racist hidden behind the screen or in a group. Getting brainwashed is also rather easier today. It actually took some effort prior to the age of social media.
What about religion?

People were brainwashed by religion long before social media was invented is what Phil means.
