Look I'm not saying that there's never been a false flag. I'm not even saying that the government isn't capable of wanting to engage in such a false flag

But I will say that it's not very useful to just guess and it might be worth considering that sometimes 1 Mass shooter or high-profile shooting can beget another

I am sure that in history there have been nutjobs considering doing nutty things that see someone else do it and it finally gives them the impetus to do it themselves

This is just lazy.

You could apply that same "logic" literally 100% of the time something bad happens.

At the end of the day, conspiracy theories are a coping mechanism. It’s more comfortable to believe this was orchestrated by the evil deep that than that someone walked into a store and randomly murdered dozens of people.

Yup

This is also why we tend to throw the word crazy around too easily. People don't like to accept that there are people in the world whose brains are working just fine technically that will do bad s*** like this

Conversely not considering possibility of conspiracy is short sided IMHO

I tend to agree it is defective people who have been stirred up. I do think there is organized evil in the world.

The FBI, at its highest levels, has engaged in a multi-layered conspiracy and lie in an attempt to unseat a sitting President. And why have they done this? To continue business as usual. If they can do that to the most powerful man on Earth, what would they do to us if it fit their policy goals?

You mean short sighted

and I didn't say I'm not considering it but just guessing is stupid.

The fact that something could possibly have occurred at some small statistical likelihood doesn't mean it's useful to talk about it without any actual evidence of it occurring

That's the logic that people who scream racism all the time use. when you tell him something isn't racist they respond by acting like you think racism doesn't exist at all

It is likely small statistical likelihood, but that is a guess. We don't know likelihood we are guessing.

This is the problem with conspiracy lovers. They can tie any random two events together and come up with a woven fairy tale.

I'm not denying there are some truths to some conspiracies, but not every event is some fabricated tactic to deceive the public.

Most people look for evidence. Others, create evidence to support a conspiracy.

Media emboldens the wackos. Twice this morning I've heard and read "white shooter".

It's still just guessing. People using arguments like X bad thing is out there so Y false flag was done to hide it aren't even applying an actual argument

Because literally 100% of the time there is something out there somebody might not want talked about so you can make this guess 100% of the time

How is that remotely useful?

We rely on media for information about this. I don't trust a word of what they say. Again I think it is nutjobs but refuse to not consider other possibility

I don’t think the deep state is competent enough to pull off false flags. If there are false flags they are funded and coordinated by wealthy liberals.
