    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.

        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.
