idk, it feels kind of flippant and dismissive to just uncritically declare this as some sort of false flag operation. people are driven to extreme actions against society because american society itself is completely barbaric.

calling this a false flag is just a thought terminating cliche that stops us from critically analyzing how to stop these things from happening. The “Oh whoopdeedoo, another mass shooting, prbably a false flag, moving on” mentality is just proof of how awful the degree of normalization of violence in america is.

Not writing this to call anyone out in particular, but I think we could be doing a better job of interpreting these awful sorts of events. but also this is an internet shitposting forum, so who cares i suppose
