    Isn’t the, “Patriot Front” one of those CIA/FBI groups pretending to be far right-wingers? Nonetheless, hopefully if he is truly a pdo, he gets real justice in prison. No mercy for pdos, ever.

      According to who are they a cia/fbi group? Is there any proof the cia has ever targeted fascists for anything? They were made to and constantly get caught training fascists in other countries to kill leftists

        Ah some analysis I watched about how, “Patriot Front” is really a national level honey pot led by federal agents. This was back in 2017 after they first appeared walking around with tiki torches.

              You made a statement. You are just too cowardly to do so openly so hid it in a questio. “One of these groups” implying there are any that were outed as CIA ops.

          That seems unlikely. It’s more likely that a bunch of wackos are doing wacko things. Most people are pretty dumb.

      Oh yes, the “real” bad guys aren’t real, clearly it’s all made up psyops and these people can’t be as awful as they seem. 🙄 This comment is stupid. People like you always try to deflect and downplay the depravity of the right.

      No, there is no evidence of this except the right wing doesnt want to be associated with their own. Just like jan6 insurrection was supposedly antifa.

        lol… who the hell thought anti-fa were behind Jan6?

        If I recall correctly the insinuation made about this far-right group was on Joe Rogan podcast. This is the only thing I can find that goes into some details regarding the conspiracy theory about the group.

          Theres this concept of asymmetry of proof which makes it more difficult to disprove something (especially a broad claim) than it is to prove it. I suspect that’s why you’ve been getting downvoted because it takes little effort to say “aren’t they actually fbi?” then to go through and find evidence indicating otherwise. This is why the burden generally is to prove something, not disprove something. In this case Joe Rogan/whomever makes up shit and it is his/their responsibility to prove it. Just because someone says something doesn’t make it true. For instance if I said unicorns are actually real and are invisible aliens from Jupiter’s invisible moon then that is something very easy for me to claim, and would be impossible for someone to definitively disprove. Whereas you could instead ask me to definitively prove it and I should have some reasonable argument for why this exists (with hard evidence to support it) . Fortunately in this case there does seem to be other sources that also dig into these false claims of the Patriot Front. And again, the burden of proof still lies with whomever actually proving these claims rather than other sources disproving them.

      I must say, the best undercover for a maga group would be a pedo. Hell getting arrested for being a pedo might get him a seat in Congress on the right. CIA pro-strats.
