The zombie apocalypse genre is the sole reason that we are seeing a pattern of far right terrorism. Nothing else is related at all.

This is not an overstatement.

Specifically, because of a single episode of the universally watched "Fear the Walking Dead"

I finished reading up on the Rice Lorry story and the fellow posting it mentioned posting pictures. I can’t find them though, but I’m bad at Twitter. I’d be down to see a truck full of rice at some schmuck’s house if they’re out there.

I forget where I heard this, but I remember that actual 'zombie survival plan' forums, Facebook groups or something actually did have to directly say 'this is just for fun talking about a totally fictional zombie outbreak, stop using it as code for fantasies about shooting minorities'.

I looked up some stuff including some stuff out of Hadassah in Jerusalem and an economist out of UT@D and it basically sums up to "driving a car into a bunch of people is an insanely easy way to kill people" that apparently everyone figured out in 2014 (Hadassah shows how like 8 people got admitted for intentional vehicular assault in 2013, but 31 in 2014). I haven't found anyone interested in speculating why a bunch of lone wolves decided to drive cars into people in 2014 in Israel, but presumably it was one guy decided to do it first and then everyone (including Al Qaeda) realised it was a pretty good idea when they saw it on the news. It, however, did predate the start of Fear the Walking Dead, you are indeed correct that that was not why. Now we all know how terrorists decide to do things - it's not because of that episode of Fear the Walking Dead.
