I have a question regarding that cringe podcast called "chapotraphouse"

In their last episode they mentioned the FBI dm-ing psychos to make them do shootings.

I knew about the FBI organizing honeypots for boogaloos/nazis/etc, but I haven't heard of this

What's the goal of these? Like, I understand doing it once to get someone important killed but like constantly? what for?

Also, and probably the first thing I should ask, are these real?

    Yes they are real, and the only reason they do it is to justify their own existence by offering "proof" that the bad things are happening or at risk of happening, but thankfully the FBI was swiftly on the scene to prevent it, please give us $20 billion more from the black budget so we can entrap more depressed people at their wits' end.

    What’s the goal of these?

    To get promoted for busting a dangerous killer.

    The guy wasn't going to kill anyone before you started fucking with him? Doesn't matter, your boss isn't gonna call you on it, because he got promoted for doing this shit too.

    All human organizations eventually become lead by people who do whatever it is that makes them advance within that organization, then the organization becomes dedicated to doing that thing.

      There was a man with mental disabilities that the FBI had to literally drive to Walmart and buy them a machete for a planned terrorist attack…
