Strategy 10 involves deterring aggression by appearing "a little crazy" or violent. The hosts discuss the dehumanizing effect of constant media violence, from video game-style war footage to domestic gun violence. They note how the "presence" of threat, such as living under drones or constant crime reports, is used to keep populations in a state of fear.
Using summaries from Nate the Lawyer, the hosts highlight how the prosecution's own witnesses provided testimony that supported Rittenhouse's self-defense claim. Witness Gaige Grosskreutz admitted he pointed his gun at Rittenhouse before being shot, and others testified to Rosenbaum's death threats. The hosts also question why the FBI was flying drones over the scene and why that footage was not more transparently utilized.
A Vice documentary segment examines the phenomenon of gang stalking, featuring individuals who believe they are being surveilled by drones and followed by groups of people. The hosts analyze how Vice frames the issue as a mix of legitimate government surveillance (NSA/FBI) and potential mental illness, noting the use of "lizard people" references to discredit the subject.
