Everyone is the hero of their own story. Hollywood and video games contribute to this disconnect from reality. Thats why all these libtards are so shocked when people react to their bullshit.
I don't think media contributes that much to this disconnection. It's a factor in controlling worldview, but in and of itself it isn't getting people out in the street like this.
You'd have be tremendously stupid to think video games and life are the same thing. These people do exist, but they are too stupid to achieve more than a day long crime spree ending in a police shooting or 200 year sentence. They are definitely NOT politically minded.
What media does is indoctrinates a particularly worldview. The core of the worldview is that people are children and need to be protected. This worldview seeps into politics and systems are then built around making that worldview a reality. THAT's what gives you morons in the street like this. It's several steps removed from vidya.
Kurt Vonnegut actually commented on this back in the day (although more just the fictionalization of reality through media, in his case novels). He would often stop his stories to go into the personality, history, dreams, and goals of walk-on characters, like a random waitress in a coffee shop serving one of the main characters.
Just as a reminder to the reader that the person serving you coffee has all those things. They aren't just some unimportant side note building up to a climax of your story: they're a person with their own story too.
I always liked those little sojourns, and the lesson was invaluable.

Are they shocked to discover that they are the NPCs and not their victims?
