In an interview that day, he said his critical views of the American government were shaped by his research into Peter Thiel, the technology billionaire and political provocateur who is a major campaign donor, and into cryptocurrency.
He likely found some online community that not only agreed with his world view but gave further ideas. Ironically some people are there for memes and fun but give the edgiest opinions and few take it all on face value.

Worst hit is smartphones category, specially on Flipkart - they'll make you install a third party app with full adminstrator permission to check for any issues, and if it display 'no issue' forget ever returning the phone.
In future if you order any expensive electronic items make sure to check everything at time of delivery and have it recorded otherwise they do hard time accepting returns.
Also if you want to contact Amazon support do not call them. There is a chat option in the app. I always use it for returns. Call centre people waste a lot of time.
Same modus operandi used in India for return frauds the gangs are actually US based also operating in India

CBS does mention it is as per IT ACT 2000 of India but they do not mention what actually this person was doing before he was killed (that is also covered differently in Canada and India due to political reasons).
None of Canadian coverage including this video mentions that Nijaar was a Khalistani separatist and involved in terrorist activities in India. Any Indian news source will mention that, Khalistani separatist were involved in 2011 Republic Day Riots inspired by Capitol Attack in USA. They have repeatedly given death threats to PM of India and Canada has refused to take any action for that. In 80s Khalistani terrorist killed, then PM of India, India Gandhi so these threats are not taken lightly by India.
Indian coverage for video blocking. Notice the change of words used for Nijjar.

Venom is one of our favourite characters so obviously we were so excited for this movie. After watching it though it was such a disappointment. They killed him off in the end.
