That's not lots of info. It's a sentence from a twitter video. Yet you seem absolutely certain about your judgments about what led these people to do this. That doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, there's plenty of evidence that they're doing a ####ty thing, there's just basically none about why they're doing it or who they are as people.
Look, it's not worth having a big debate over, I just find it very odd how sure everyone is that two specific individuals they've never met are a total lost cause and couldn't possibly be reasoned with, despite plenty of evidence that even people with very extreme viewpoints can be brought around. The level of immediate certainty people can justify is surprising to me.
EDIT: I guess surprising is the wrong word there. More like jarring enough I thought it was worthy of mention.
