Welcome to America.
Our government is so corrupt we needed the media, then the media became so bought and paid-for by the corrupt that we needed talking heads; which is how we get people like Charlie Kirk and Hasan Piker. All the while; America's education system? In the toilet. People's long-term memory? In the toilet. General Populace's ability to make a decision or form an opinion for themselves? In the toilet.
So then you get a subsection of people that take these glorified Max Headrooms' words as gospel and dissenting opinions into heresy because they're too retarded to do their own research, but god dammit they're mad and they need someone to tell them where to direct it because as long as someone else is directing them, its justified. This is how Antifa works. They're not a real organization that stands for anything in particular. They're just an amorphous blob of half-men looking for a place to throw their anger, so they looked for something that sounds altruistic to excuse their monstrous behavior.
And the crazy shit is that this is not the first time, nor will it be the last time this happens. It will only get worse because there are very unserious people taking the wheel during some very serious times.
