And it would be quite easy too, lock him in information bubble and slowly manipulate him to do it. Considering levels of surveliance it would be easy to set pieces in real world and in internet.
I don't understand why you think this. These online echo chambers already exist. Why would it have to be the CIA that pushed him to do it? IMO, that's just conspiratorial thinking with no evidence.
4chan's Chris "Moot" Poole created /pol/ immediately after meeting Jeff Epstein
Just a coincidence.
Definitely not a coincidence. Epstein and Steve Bannon were working on a project to turn kids to the right. Even if you concede that the CIA is involved in the creation, that doesn't mean the CIA was behind the Charlie Kirk murder.
I just said it would be easy and I don't believe in it either. But I bet many of these echo chambers are run by government organizations.
Certainly many governments including the US, Israel, and Russia have been caught with troll farms, funding radical influencers, etc. I don't think it's far fetched to believe that a state actor is sowing discord within their own people. Just look at COINTELPRO for a good example of the FBI infiltrating and dividing leftist movements.
My main gripe is the jump from skepticism to conspiracy. Through a host of conspiracies, the right has eroded the concept of truth to the point that people only look to right-wing leaders for guidance. This is intentionally done to grab power from those that are more willing to deliberate evidence. I'm worried the left could fall victim to a similar fate if they get too ready to assume conspiracies must be true. If we assume without evidence, we could easily get swept up by a charismatic leader looking to tell us what we want to hear.
