[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.
