Just finished watching it. On a macro level, it serves as a warning. I agree with this, from your review: “disturbingly like something commonly heard on today’s right-wing media.” Or from the current GOP candidate. I’ve spoken to conservative friends who’ve fallen for the Fox talking points about Antifa and tourists and a divisive Joe Biden. My arguments fall on deaf ears.

On a micro level, the stories of empathy and forgiveness could also be a lesson too. As one family member noted, Nichols became the son of a friend instead of JUST the bomber. Maybe we just need to see each other as people.

To quote Hemingway- isn’t it pretty to think so

If you haven’t seen “The Unsocial Network” I highly recommend you do. Shows the seeds of Qanon and how it all started mainly by a lot of geeky hackers just having inside jokes and turned to something very malevolent that we see today.
