 Today May 40 here, so Australian shock is deadly shootout in rural town kills police officers So two police officers were killed in a shootout Propopty in rural Australia We had a routine follow-up on a missing person report turned into an ambush a lengthy siege And this is highly unusual in Australia So Why were the police ambushed right we don't really know yet, but one of the figures Who in the ambush Right Gareth train was a conspiracy theorist to believe the false claims at the Port Arthur massacre of 1996 in Tasmania When an Australian gunman killed 35 people prompted lawmakers to pass stricter gun laws And he thought this was a false flag operation. So kind of Alex Jones conspiracy level thinking So, yeah, I believe that conspiracy thinking conspiracy narratives can lead to Terrible behavior, but it's never going to be the primary cause of crime because I don't think people put you know buy into conspiracy theories or These far-fetched narratives unless they are predisposed to do so Narrative can't take you anywhere. You don't want to go So when people are failing at life and they're looking for ways to feel Special and superior to others conspiracy theories can be highly appealing. So I'm not a fan of Alex Jones I don't have a problem Or a big problem anyway with social media companies censoring him or banning him from their platforms You know what he did to all the families of the Sandy Hawk killing how they got harassed by Alex Jones listeners Who try to convince them as a false flag operation? So I don't like that part of the distant right or the distant left But it I warmly comes from the distant right Immediately claims after mass shooting that it was a false flag operation. I don't know any mass shooting in Australia or in the United States is a false flag operation and So it's unfortunate that many people get red-pillared and notice that the the media and elites and teachers and Academia being lying to them about some things they then extend that to the media is lying to them about everything and It's not true We never get to graduate from having to Understand everything in this particular context and to seek out multiple sources of information to understand things that are suddenly done critically But the media is not just constantly lying to you about mass shootings that they're not false flag events But the conspiracy thinking behind this these are false flag effects. Yeah, probably leads to some unfortunate crimes and Some self-destructive spirals that people go into But it does not account to even 1% of murders in the country I compared to the massive amount of damage that the Black Lives Matter movement has done to stimulate a massive increase in murder And crime and traffic and pedestrian deaths in the United States The increase in deaths due to these wacky false flag conspiracy theories are absolutely minute
