Not to troll, just to know what they're up to.
And then maybe rant about it to your like-minded friends.

[MENTION=2088]Flonne[/MENTION]; Just to clarify. You think it's more likely that the CIA or similar foreign intelligence agency SUCCESSFULLY brainwashed an innocent man into confessing to committing a domestic terror attack to cover up the actual Islamic culprit because it interfere's with Trudeau's political narrative?
Even xparasite9 seems to be telling you to be cautious. This thread is clearly about Islamic terrorists committing terrorism not non-Islamic people committing acts of terrorism on Muslims.
It's not necessarily inconsistent to follow multiple viewpoints on social media. You're creating a false dichotomy and assuming that people only follow people that conform to their bias. While social media certainly has a tendency to create echo chambers, it's an unfounded assumption.
People are complex. I follow Atlas Shrugged on Facebook, but check Twitter for new Trump tweets while splitting my voting Democratic/Republican/Independent. I voted in favor of pot legalization, but would never smoke myself. All of these are seemingly contradictory stances, but I do so for entirely consistent reasons. I follow Atlas Shrugged because I think that Objectivism is an extremely interesting philosophy and I became enamored with Ayn Rand's books in high school. There's a lot that I support like individual freedoms (smoking pots, owning guns), but I also think that it's fundamentally flawed because it apathetically ignores the obvious consequences of having a bunch of poor idiots with guns and no (Democratic) programs to help them like universal health care. Meanwhile I follow Trump and other individuals I don't agree with because I want to see primary sources without sensational media spin. Real people don't fit perfectly into fictional narratives. You're just as guilty as the media for trying to write one.

I follow all sorts of people I disagree with - knowing both sides of every argument is the best and honestly only way to challenge yourself and reach the most objective answer. You're falling into the very same echo chamber culture the left is so notorious for perpetuating.

No, I honestly don't think the Muslim guy was in the plan regardless of whether or not he did anything, if he committed any violence at all it would have been as a solo act.
This happened days after Trump's ban went into effect, and the guy follows Trump on facebook; whether as an actual follower or a "following the enemy" follower, it does not matter, because the media will say it was the former regardless. The timing is too perfect for the left's narrative. Him turning himself in is too perfect for the left's narrative; you really think a legitimate racist white supremacist /pol/ browser would have felt sorry for doing something like that? The sum of the parts just does not add up. Yes, a white guy killed some Muslims, and yes, it was most likely just him involved in the actual killing, but the devil is in the details. It's only been a few days since this happened and already the narrative has moved precisely to where I thought it would; Canada is calling for open borders for all refugees, which is exactly what Trudeau wanted to begin with. When things work out perfectly for a politician like that you should always be wary.

[MENTION=5658]xparasite9[/MENTION] The problem of terrorism and radical Islam was one of the few things I mostly agreed with Trump on. Shame he has already sold his soul to radical Islam.
