And it’s also so fucking useless. How the fuck is a terrorist attack on elderly people who are ALSO calling for an end to the war and returning the hostages going to help people in Gaza?!
unfortunately, people can get into a place where their desire to Hurt The Bad Guys completely overwhelms their judgment, and even without that they tend to grossly oversimplify things
Whether the fire was set by the person arrested for the arson is debatable, but it was used by the Nazis to crack down on dissent and further erode civil rights.
Basically, the fascists currently in power are going to use this asshole and the guy who shot those Israeli embassy workers as an excuse to crack down even harder on any criticism of Israel.
...I mean, it wouldn't be shocking, but I feel like when they do false flag shit it's usually grander in scale, like showing up to nearly every BLM protest to try and make it violent
just, yanno... to me at least, "conspiratorial"+"Reichstag" together sounds like it refers to a false flag operation (since there's at least some suspicion that the Nazis literally directly deliberately enabled the guy who got arrested for the arson) so the clarification is very appreciated, and I think very important <3

like he was clearly weighing at least some parts of the impact on his daughter, or at least on his relationship to her, and his family whom he apparently left notes for, and yet somehow came away deciding that an attack would stop war crimes which are literally being justified by an attack
hey now he's not high on drugs he's just high on getting away with shamelessly, openly stealing and hoarding the labor-value of millions of other people

John Tyler was a slaveholding piece of shit and the family still lives in the ancestral plantation where they used to own human beings as chattel, but this is still a fascinating story. Just three generations spanning more than 200 years.
