Sending out a few delusional murderers killing small numbers of civilians may be more effective than large mass killings. Get open societies to question their values of freedom of expression, assembly they will become more like the delusional authoritarians spreading hate. So far hate has worked well to bankrupt Western Democracies who tend to over react. We are now even being ruled by the greedy elite that depends on hate bypassing elected Government that is either totally incompetent or cowered in fear afraid to speak out.
