He's not wrong. This isn't Star Wars or some sort of crime novel. EVERYTHING that happens, paranoiacs (mostly from the right, honestly) make up these stories: wuhan flu was made in a lab despite OVERWHELMING evidence this isn't true; antifa is flying around the country, somehow in the shadows all these years, now emerging to sew chaos; the fires are intentional and antifa again; conspiracy, conspiracy, conspiracy... It is unhealthy. It is NOT free thinking to jump to conclusions that fit some qanon world. Anyone can say anything, but it doesn't make it true.
BUT that doesn't mean that there aren't nefarious things going on (see federal agents pulling people off the street [ironically an ACTUAL conspiracy]). The thing is, these "questions" people ask--"could it be activist arsonists, I'm just asking"--a tactic often employed by Prince Trumperdinck, are nothing more than toxic seeds thrown into the wind and sprout like weeds. It's irresponsible and cringingly embarrassing and you should stop. It takes discipline but we all have to return to evidence-based accusations, if we are going to ever get along. Enough anecdotal, my-nephew-knows-a-guy stuff, my-gut-tells-me, etc. Maybe antifa is a super army in the shadows that for some reason burns the part of the country that most supports what they support. Sure maybe, but maybe not. The point is we should wait for information, data, and whathaveyou before we jump to conclusions, otherwise you just become part of the problem.
Furthermore, there are people DYING and losing everything out there. That's where our focus should be. In reality.
