      Sounds like he’s had a psychotic breakdown and should be in a mental institution. Not charged with terrorism and sent to prison.

      I wanna see his browser/watch history. I am 100% certain that fascists/authoritarians are using surveillance capitalism to wage global psychological warfare campaigns that spread what can only be described as a propaganda-induced mental illness (see MAGA). The dullest and most poorly educated individuals are the most susceptible, but it can affect anyone; especially those who are politically, historically, and statistically ignorant.
