Whenever I see Americans on the internet talking about how every mass shooting that gets in the news is “obviously” a false flag operation, I have to believe that this is what a dying society looks like: People who need to convince themselves that bad things simply don’t happen naturally and it’s all a plan by some impossibly omnipotent government force to make them into slaves.
You’re right on the money.
But of course, that’s capitalism.
