Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

    Ignoring the obvious - provocation and false flags are polar opposites, you dunderfuck.

    Agent provocateurs go into sincere crowds and start shit to escalate what they’re already doing. (Or to justify violence against the crowd, because “someone” threw a rock.) It’s an agent, singular. An opposing individual in disguise shapes perception.

    False-flag attacks are done by an opposing group. And they do the thing, themselves. They’re not goading a crowd into escalating, or inviting violence from undisguised opposition. Sincere individuals are completely optional. The action is performed entirely by people acting under someone else’s banner. You know. Like the name.

    If if was a false flag, you’d want these assholes in jail as badly as we do.

      Could you imagine the bloodbath of live fire that would have met Antifa mobs?

        They treat that single dead loon as if she was shot in her own apartment, and not crawling over the final barricade between an angry mob and the entire elected federal government.

        Well. The entire elected federal government, except for one particular bastard.
