    What's the point of the psyop if it is one. Is it to convince people that... nazis are bad?

      :frothingfash: NOOOooo! I said it's a psyop! That eliminates all causes and effects and you aren't allowed to ask questions or think about it after that!

        Ah, I should've known "psyop" was the new "crisis actors".

      there's a lot of gun enthusiasts who think - or at least, pretend to think - that mass shootings are all fake, with "crisis actors", for the purpose of whipping up anti-gun sentiment

        media contagion for mass shootings is well documented and makes a much better conspiracy theory. the state could just tell the media to amp up reporting of mass shootings, which would encourage more mass shootings, in a vicious cycle.

          The thing that gets me about the crisis actor believers is that they don't want to believe that law enforcement like the FBI knows these shooters exist and eggs them on, and actual people die because of it. Easier to think it's all fake than actual people are dying and their government doesn't care
