After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many are asking about the shooter 'How could such a smart, promising young person from a normal, stable family get so radicalized so quickly by propaganda & peer pressure, into committing such extreme violence?'
I think it helps to step back from current American political landscape and study some historical precedents.
One compelling example is the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), in which millions of China's brightest young people -- especially university students -- became Mao's shock troops, to help Mao purge the CCP of his more moderate political rivals, and reinforce his total personal control over China.
The youth got radicalized by communist propaganda into betraying their parents, beating their professors to death, burning books, toppling statues, and despising everything about their traditional Han Chinese civilization. And then they started hyper-radicalizing each other in a runaway arms race of political virtue-signaling -- to a degree that Mao himself could sometimes barely control.
A great source to learn about this is the China History Podcast by genius podcaster Laszlo Montgomery. He did an outstanding, well-researched, 8-part series on the Cultural Revolution (see Episodes 83-90; link in replies below.)
Notably, the Cultural Revolution never really burned out. It just kept going, on and on, destroying their civilizational legacy, for ten years... until Mao himself died, and his successors struggled for power using different strategies.

@grammy Great question! I noticed that after winter there's less bugs (specially ants), otherwise after summer it's just full of it as they had the whole summer to "invade".
This way, I reduce the risk of "importing" new ant colonies (usually those in wood are carpenter ants)
