Good answer; and I think this kind of analysis is the way to go. Let me suggest another categorization and see what you think:

1. Lifestyle Violence (violence that is expected per the activities of gangs and other kinds of participation in organized crime)

2. Crisis Violence (violence that results from psychological trauma without adequate outlets; aggravated by drugs and abuse; tends to result from desperation rather than premeditation, traditionally conceived)

3. Conspiratorial Violence

(3A) Vengeance (crimes of passion, e.g., murdering the person with whom your spouse is having an affair; this is violence that, unlike lifestyle violence, is not expected given one's activities/associations)

(3B) Instrumental (violence in which the crime is not the end in itself, but a means to something else)

(3B.i) Apolitical (life insurance fraud, murder of a witness to a crime, etc.)

(3B.ii) Political (false flag mass shootings, events meant to induce changes in policy/regulation)

(3C) Religious (violence that targets large numbers of a particular class of persons indiscriminately, and which is motivated by religious belief)

So, a false flag shooting organized by authorities would be an example of a Political Instrumental form of violence under the broader category of Conspiratorial violence. The debate will now turn to the question of whether the false flag is successful at convincing people it is an example of (2) rather than (3B.ii). This makes things quite difficult because what the false flag is really attempting to do (since Columbine, say) is revise the category (2). The move for us would be to show that Crisis violence does not cause us to expect violence against total strangers en masse. Crisis violence might mean lashing out against an individual (picture the troubled child who acts violently toward a school counselor or something), but would more often demonstrate violence toward non-strangers (friends and/or family members). It seems that the powers that be have been successful, however, in convincing people that there is a distinct kind of Crisis violence in which the troubled person seeks to kill as many innocent people as possible, which starts to conflate Crisis violence with Religious Instrumental violence. Put simply, the false flag is conflating two categories in order to create a new type of category: mixing terrorism with psychological crisis.

It's way less than 90%. The ((media)) lies about what percentage of the population that is indoctrinated too.

Kangajews your thoughts?
